The Camping Trip...

The camping trip was really fun! The kids weren't quite as freaked out as they tend to be in our own backyard which was a nice change of pace. No pictures of the weekend though... forgot the camera at home... it was nice though to live in the moment and not worry about catching every little cute thing!

Walker wanted to go on a "Safari" aka a hike on the nature trail... he was the tour guide, always leading in front! We saw a couple of deer but the kids were most impressed with the Beaver Dams and Beaver house.

The hillside by the campsite had dandelions that had gone to seed and Walker commented, "Look at all those wishes!"

We had picked an awesome campsite... the tent stayed in the shade most of the day! We played a lot of card games... crazy 8's, war and a new favorite slap jack! Stewart and I got a lot of reading done... it was a nice and relaxing first camping trip of the year.

Walker has been sporting a new summer haircut... a short buzz. He's also been trying really hard to stay in the lines when coloring. He was so happy to show me his masterpiece today!

Heading to the parade tomorrow... kids are super excited to catch all that candy!
