Labor Day Camping and Cute Kid Quotes

Clam Beach, Trinidad, Ca

This Labor Day camping trip included more family than ever before. We had all the McGregor siblings, all the Luukkonen siblings, all the Peters siblings, spouses, parents, friends, and kids. Wow. Speaking of kids: eventually, someday, in the future, not right now, later on, I’ll have my own kids to enjoy and laugh at and write about. Until then, I have to settle (settle? I’m not sure it’s settling, really) for enjoying and laughing at and writing about my nephew and niece. Particularly my nephew. Being the only kid in the immediate family who’s old enough to run around and talk, he gets a lot of attention for the funny things he says and does. I figured I’d share some of the funny quotes from the weekend with all the pictures. Oh, and there are LOTS of pictures!
