Camping and such



A few weeks ago we had a friend over for dinner while his wife was out of town and we mentioned that we all needed to go camping before it got to cold. Abby heard the word, "camping" and was so excited!! Hooting and hollering and carrying on because she thought we were going that night. When I told her we weren't camping that night but that we would go in 2 weeks her face just crumbled. It broke my heart! Scott set up the tent in the living room and the two of them had a daddy daughter camping trip right there in the comfort of home.

What I found the next morning... 

She had to take some of her babies and animals camping with her. 

That next weekend we set up the tent in Scott's parents backyard and Abby loved it!! We put Lilly to bed just inside the house in the port-a-crib and took the baby monitor outside with us. 

Lilly checking out the leaves in our front yard a few days after the camping trip.She is fascinated with leaves right now. Even the ones on our fake ficus tree in our living room seem to call her name, so to speak. 


The past weekend we went "real camping" with our neighbors. Abby kept asking if we were going to "go cahmping in the wooods" like Little Bear and Curious George. 

The first few hours were a bit rocky since I drove up and met our friends while Scott was still at work. He ended up having to work a bit late that night so it made things a little tricky but we still had a great time and can't wait to go again soon!

This was Lilly's first camping trip and she was quite the fussy baby while we were camping as she was still recovering from soon kind of "bug" in her system. 

If you look closely at her face you can see the remains of the chocolate pudding that she decided would be breakfast. 

Abby put in a lot of miles running around the campsite playing with her friend Beth.
