New Jersey Vacation

Every summer, we go and spend a week in New Jersey with Dan's side of the family.  We have a great time because there are tons of Aunts, Uncles and Cousins who we don't get to spend a lot of time with throughout the year but everyone always make an effort to attend at least a couple of days of the annual camping trip.  Dan's family has been doing this since...well forever.  It's a really unique thing for a family this large to do and every time I go I just end up feeling so blessed.  We are beyond lucky to be surrounded by such an amazing family and I know that my kids will always remember these camping trips.  There is just too much to tell so here is my photo diary...

We played inside campers, tents and trailers...

We played several redneck golf tournaments...
