After the big storm and our rough night I could tell I was going to be a little snippy with the girls if I didn’t get a little cat nap so while Peanut went down for her morning nap I did a little bible reading and took a short nap myself.
Everybody else went fishing. Noni got some funny video of Boo. I’ll have to see if I can get it to load later. I came out to find them all back at the campsite playing cards.
Peanut joined right in the fun. Silly Daddy. :)
We decided to roast hot dogs for lunch. You can’t go camping without roasting hot dogs! I had to kill a few yellow jackets before I could sit down. :)
Big groups use the campgrounds and this must be the campsite they reserve because it had lots of benches around the fire. The camp host said he had just had a group of 160 teenage girls go through the weekend before! I’m guessing their weekend wasn’t as peaceful and relaxing as ours. :)
Peanut discovered the joy of gnawing on a whole apple…assisted by Noni. Love Boo’s sassy little pose here. :)
Bug is looking to join the Future Swatters of America club or FSA.
So proud! :)
Peanut and I feeling much better after our nap!
It is getting harder and harder to read to my girls! I can barely see the book through their hair, but I wouldn’t trade those moments for anything! We spend at least an hour (off and on) reading books every day!
We finally figured out that Peanut could crawl around inside the tent and not get into too much…just Noni and Papa’s suitcases! These pictures were taken through the window screen.
Happy, mischievous girl!
Noni and I went on a short walk and brought back some tiny frogs! Sorry Auntie Karen! I love frogs.
But I think Bug shares your distaste for them. :)
She refused to hold one because she said she didn’t want to have to wash her hands.
We named them Alfred, Herman, and Kermit. These little guys were all over the place! Probably hundreds of them down by the beach. (and now Aunt Karen will never come camping here with us:)
Boo thought they were cute.
Buggy at least let us hold them next to her for a picture.
Gag alert: apparently “Hold your hands together and don’t touch anything until we get them washed” filtered into Boo’s ears as “I think it would be a good idea if you LICK your hand!”
Yeah. She licked her hand after holding the frog. I looked up Salmonella on WebMD and have been watching her for symptoms but she seems to be just fine. Little stinker. :P
Noni and the girls played a fun Drop-and-Hug game with Peanut.
As you can see she LOVED it! I love how happy Bug is just watching her.
They took turns hugging her on the way up and down.
She laughed and laughed!
Later she decided to play cards with Noni and Boo.
Future card sharp?
Boo found a ladybug. Or maybe it found her. :)
T taught Bug how to play Slap Jack.
I had to watch my hands so she didn’t slap THEM!
Of course the girls can never sit on the ground with T very long before they all start wrestling and roughhousing. I’m glad he’s willing to do that with them because they love it and I definitely do NOT enjoy knees and elbows flying into me!
Peanut wanted to get in on the action too. :)
Rest break!
At it again! T dropped his wallet and said, “Ah HA! So that’s how you are going to get all my money out of me!” :)
We had such a wonderful, restful afternoon. It was so peaceful out there. I loved it.
Before we left I went online to get fun ideas for camp food. Campfire Cones and campfire Churros were two of the things we did. They actually both worked really well and tasted great!
The sun was setting and was so pretty so I decided to go on a sunset hunt for my friend Rachel…here you go! Sunset from the Great Northwest!
T, K, and I started to walk out to the point I had been to the day before and found a flock of Canadian Geese in this marshy area that is usually under water.
We startled them so they flew off into the sunset.
We also found one of the Blue Herons soaking up the last rays of sun for the day. He was in the one strip of light just staring at the sunset. I guess animals can appreciate the beauty too.
The sky was too clear and clean for a colorful sunset, but it looked so pretty reflecting off the water.
After we got the girls in bed for the last night (Bug and Boo back in the tent so we could sleep, haha) we made a nice campfire and enjoyed the warmth. T was taking pictures of the fire…
And found the Google logo. :)
And then tried to blind me, but I was too quick for him!
Our last night we slept like babies. Even the baby. :)
Boo helped Daddy make us a delicious breakfast of pancakes, hashbrowns, eggs, and sausage. Yum.
Here’s the inside of our little cabin.
The girls were sad to pack up but we assured them we will be back!
Noni wanted us to take a picture with this carved bear. :) There were several different carved things all over the camp. I’m always amazed at how they do that with chainsaws!
While I was feeding Peanut before we left, Papa and Noni decided to climb this big tree stump!
I’m impressed they got up there! I don’t know if I could!
I thought this picture T took was so cute! :)
One group picture and it was time to say Goodbye to the campground.
Such a great trip. Thanks so much for the fun time Noni and Papa! We had an awesome time!
