camping fun

The highlights of our camping trip according to the girls: sleeping in a tent, roasting marshmallows, going on a nature walk, fishing, climbing trees, and playing on the playground.

The highlights of our camping trip according to the parents: adult conversation, eating delicious food that we didn't have to prepare, staring into the campfire after the kids went to bed, and best of all--other children for our girls to constantly play with from sun-up to sun-down.

free to be

Oh to be a kid again. Where the days are simple and full of little delights. Just free.

gone fishin'

While we were camping this weekend, we decided to take a walk down to the pier. It was full of cub scouts learning how to fish. Since we don't own any fishing gear, the girls were quite interested in learning what fishing was all about. A friendly park ranger gave the girls a little introduction. I think they're hooked. (Pun intended.)

mesmerized

I spent my weekend staring into a campfire. I love staring into fire. It's so beautiful and unpredictable. Completely mesmerizing.
