Katoa Family Camp 2011

We always have so much fun at Katoa family camp. This year all of Hema's siblings and their families were there except his sister Milika, her husband and 2 of their kids. This year we camped at Deer Creek and the weather was perfect. 

 Hema and the kids after the tent got set up on Wednesday. 

 Gorgeous view from our tent.

And looking the other direction. Utah is so beautiful! 

 Thursday was all about the water! 

 Lots of swimming. 

 Fishing and playing in the sand.  

 We stayed and played in the water for hours. 

Here is Leilani as a mermaid.

 Aunt Salote and Uncle Semisi made lots of sand art.  

 Ilaisaane as a dolphin. 

 T Rex being attacked. 

 Fun games for the kids Thursday night.

More games. 

 Friday more swimming. 

Hema riding an alligator. 

 And of course more sand! 

 Salote buried Gene, Leilani, Joey, Hema and Loseli here. 

 Vela and Ava as a heart. It got pretty hot and they weren't sure they were having fun. 

Talo and None with Cora.

 Hema's mom cooked up all kinds of fabulous food for us every minute and we played and laughed and visited until the wee hours of the morning each night. All the kids played so well and never fought at all. Our kids were so sad when it was time to go home. I am so very grateful to have married into a family that I love so much! Can't wait for camp next year!
