We spent last weekend camping! It was a surprise for Jere--of course I had to tell him before we left as I can't lift much of anything anymore so he had to do all the heavy work, but he was surprised anyway. We had talked about going camping sometime this summer, but because of pregnancy issues we were pretty sure it wasn't going to happen before Baby. I was glad I was feeling up to doing it! We really had a good time. The weather was a little on the chilly side and it had been raining in the morning, but it didn't rain at all while camping, and the fire felt good. The activities for the children revolved around biking on PAVED roads, going fishing, and trying to find things to draw in their nature journals they made before we left. The adults tended the fire, made food, baited hooks, untangled fishing line, cheered when fish were caught, and took the family on a long nature hike looking for things on a nature hike scavenger hunt list. Ok, I almost didn't make it back from the hike, and a good portion of my time was spent in my new reclining lawn chair, but it was a good time making memories as a family.
My handsome, just casting for a child's benefit.
"Looking at you!"
Little Miss' first fish. She was SO excited to reel it in, but then was terrified of the thing when she actually landed it! (But thoroughly enjoyed eating it, too!)
Little Miss and her fishing pole. Just too cute.
Little Man taking a break from fishing... in MY chair!
And this trooper pulled in 4 of the 6 fish we caught!
