Our weekend

Here's a few pics that I downloaded from this weekend. We pitched the tent in the backyard and attempted (yet again!) to camp. Willa was way too wiggly and we gave up on her about an hour past her bedtime. We put her in her crib and brought the baby monitor outside. Larkin fell right asleep and didn't wake up til 4am. Then we decided to call it a night and return to our own warm beds! In the morning Larkin said, "Wow Mommy! I slept in the tent all night and I wasn't even comfortable!" You can say that again! Top of my list for Christmas is better air mattresses!! :)

The air mattress that could have used just a bit more air!! My back is killing me.


This weekend we also visited a new hike/bike trail near our house that Joel helped build. He volunteered for a trail building team that helped clear brush and create 5 miles of biking trails on some watershed protection lands near our house. The trails were finally opened recently and we were excited to check them out. Unfortunately we didn't get to see too much of it because we got there kind of late (gates close at 7 and will supposedly lock you in if you don't get out in time!) but we saw enough to know that it's worth hiring a babysitter and coming back on bikes together!

I thought these pics were kind of funny. I can't tell you the number of times I realize (after the fact) that I've dressed them in pretty much the same outfits. This day was obviously a pink shirt and blue jean kind of day! And then not only are they dressed the same, but in most of my pics they are doing the same things as well. I didn't notice it until I downloaded the pics at home-

Pick up rocks with your right hand...
hold baby doll in your left hand...
and squat down and pick some flowers...


all in all a great relaxing weekend!
