Camping and Canoeing

We all survived our first family camping and canoeing trip over Labor Day weekend. We slept in a tent our brand new Taj Mahal tent that Dave got for his Birthday (Happy 1st 29th Birthday Honey). It was a little cooler than I had imagined our first camping trip would be 40-50 at night.

We went canoeing on both Saturday and Sunday. My dad had shoulder surgery around Memorial Day and he doesn't have clearance to paddle yet, so he sat with Adam in the middle of our canoe with Adam. I was so worried about how Adam would handle the canoe, that I didn't even think about our other kid- Brockway. She was a wreck. She couldn't decided if she wanted to be in our canoe or my mom's so she spent most of the time whining and then swimming back and forth between our canoe's.

Below is the picture of Sunday's crew. On Saturday my Uncle George's family was with us, so we had 5 more with us.

Adam learned to say Boat. He would say "Boooh" and then point at the canoe's. I packed up a bag full of toys that Adam didn't play with. Instead he dug in the dirt, followed the three springers around and ran away from us toward the woods. He is all boy and loves to be outside. Apparently he begged his teacher, Rachel, to take him outside all day today.
