Nissley Family Camping

My grandma Grace bought an RV and took a trip to Alaska this summer.  So our family vacation was postponed until now.  Last summer we went camping at Woodcrest Retreat, during the summer, and it was a lot of fun.  Since we all enjoyed summer camping the decision was made to go this fall.  Well my cousin Ann went out to Indiana to help a family that moved. So she wasn't planning on being at our camping weekend.  I was more than a little bummed! Let's just say that after school on Friday I was peacefully coloring with my cousin Rose and the Zimmerman van pulled in (you really can't miss it ;) This was nothing unusual since it was logical that my aunt would be coming to the camp site.  Well, it didn't take me long to realize that Ann had come in from Indiana with her brother and sister-in-law to surprise me! Ahhhh! I was ecstatic! The rest of the vacation was pretty much like a typical camping trip with a lot of spice. :) Camp fires, hammocks, the bath house (yes, I know, scary!), and a trip to Skyzone! Saturday morning we were sitting around the campfire and my cousin Zaye says "Grandma, you should take us older kids to Skyzone." She declined him at first, but with a little convincing from the rest of us, the trip was planned.  We would leave the camp promptly at 3:30 to be back in time for supper at 6. Surprisingly we accomplished leaving on time ;).  The rest of the trip was full of fun, and interesting sound affects coming from a Spanish church fiesta! :) I am so thankful to be blessed with a close family that cares, loves, and laughs with (and at) each other! :)

Autumn and her Many, Many, Cats

My little sister Autumn, has 9 cats to be exact! And she dearly loves all of them! This afternoon she begged me to take pictures of all of them with her, and I relented. Now you maybe wondering how we got 9 cats. Well, lets just say that we once had a cat named Snickers who mated with Lizzie about 3 years ago, and we now how their great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren! ~Riah

School Books

Hey Friends,
Well it's that time of year that we start preparing for school.  At the school I go to it is highly recommended that we cover our textbooks to protect them.  I love doing crafts, so this was right down my alley, and Pinterest had given me some ideas, but the most thanks goes to Riah, and Renee (my sister).  We were talking one night and she game me the ideas for my World History book cover and my Geometry book cover. Thanks to Riah for the Biology book cover idea. :) I was really happy with the way they turned out so I decided to share them with you! Best Wishes, Panda
