Let the Updates begin!!

These will be in order of most recent working backwards. Camping!!! I still can't believe we did this. It was totally a last minute decision to go with friends of ours (Adam, Bethany, and Isabel Christian) who had already decided to go. When Travis mentioned it I thought he was joking. And then, 12 hours later we were all loaded up with our 2 1/2 year old, 1 year old, and pregnant me. My biggest fear was just the cold. It's been pretty mild still here, but then again, we aren't sleeping outside at night. But it all turned out great, the kids LOVED it and I would totally do it again! Ellie and Sarah Grace with their friend Izzy. They couldn't stay out of the water...Dads or kids!

The cooks! Trav did almost all the packing (including food) for our trip...he only forgot a few things which thankfully, our friends had!!

The morning was chilly...thus the footy jammies AND hoodies!

Ellie did a "nature walk" with Trav and found things that were on the sheet he made for her (pine cone, flower, stick, rock, leaf...) She loved it!

Our "hike" around the pond...

The Christians! We love you! Thansk for letting us go with you!

This was towards the end of the hike...don't worry, it's not as bad as it seems. E is just a little dramatic! (She was a little sad that she couldn't ride on Daddy's shoulders too.) Thanks, Adam for helping us out here...she rode with Adam instead!

I know she may hate this picture later but I couldn't resist!

Ready to kayak!!

We did it! We survived! (and Trav and I did reward ourselves with a little Chilis chips and salsa on the way home!)
