We had a nice weekend camping, but it was far from relaxing. Having a mobile baby will change things this summer. Emilyn wanted to eat everything off the ground and was crawling into everything. Bedtime was a challenge because both girls didn't want to settle down. Matt and I missed out on our quiet time by the fire, and finally gave up and went to bed with the girls around 9:00. I read with a flashlight in my sleeping bag once they settled down. We all love to be outside though and enjoyed our time together without other things to worry about. We really like this camp by the water.
Ems loved the sand. She was even pretty good at shoveling it into and out of the bucket. When I'd turn away for a second, or actually about every five shovels, she would attempt to shove a handful of the gravel in her mouth before I could stop her. Yum!
Playing in the sink in the tent trailer, it was the happiest place for her, getting into everything she wasn't supposed to.
Hiking up to the caves
Inside the caves. Matisyn loved the whole experience. There's a show she likes that has a crystal cavern in it, and she kept saying how beautiful all the crystals were. She wasn't even afraid of the dark. Big smiles the whole time!
After camping we went to In N' Out and Ems could not get enough of the ketchup. She was licking it straight out of the container.
Matisyn's picture of her and her sister. I thought it was so cute, the hair is so accurate!
Snow at the end of May, we've had such weird weather this year. We're ready for Spring. . . I mean summer. I think we've skipped Spring!
This is a letter Matisyn wrote to me for Mother's Day in preschool. I heard from some other moms that I should feel pretty special. I guess the other kids didn't say the same kind of wonderful things.
Sisters
Emilyn taking her first steps
Last playgroup at our house for the summer. Cute kids. I made play dough for the first time, and they spent quite a bit of time playing with that. The rest of the time they played with toys and got the last few minutes of sunshine to take a "ride" in the car. (The battery is unplugged for situations like these!)
