A Camping We Will Go - Day 2

Knox was the first one to test out the raft. He doesn't look like he approves though. This photo was taken as evidence that we survived our first night of camping with two little kids... and one flat air mattress. After breakfast Marq and Ledger paddled off on an adventure while Knox and I relaxed on the beach with the dogs. Chevy of course swam out to keep an eye on Ledger. She hates to swim but she can't let him out of her sight so she swam all the way across to the island and back. Hanging out on the beach. We managed to stay entertained. After boating we did more treasure hunting. This time the map led us to a treasure box! Baby Knox had fun too. After dinner the boys went for a bike ride all the way around the camping loop. Ledger was so excited to go for a bike ride with dad!

Chevy was exhausted from swimming. She curled up in her chair and moved as little as possible.

Ledger practiced some stunts with dad. He's getting brave!

Knox hung out by the campfire with us. He loves being outside, looking at the trees and being part of the family.

He loves to watch his big brother!

He was a pretty happy boy.

It was crazy to think that just last year we did this trip without Knox. Look what we've accomplished in a year!

So happy to be able to spend time and make very special memories with both our boys! And of course our sweet dogs.

A Camping We Will Go - Day 1

It's that time of year again... FALL. And in our family, Fall means camping. Baby or no baby. One of our favorite family camping trips so far was our trip to Lake Waldo last year so we really wanted to go back.

This year we found tons of cool stuff there... like a pirate map in our camp! Ledger searched the campground while we setup camp :)

After much searching the map led us to a cool telescope.

Ledger spent the next hour or so searching with the telescope. (Great investment!)

He even discovered a lake monster living at the far end of the lake.

He searched and searched for the X on the map.

Finally the map led him to a fishing pole just his size!

Daddy helped him get a weight on the end of the line so he could learn to cast.

The rest of the evening was spent learning to cast his pole and practicing in camp.

Best $10 we ever spent!
