Camping

 Jeff loves to camp, LOVES it! In his mind there are only two types of days: a good day for camping or not. Monday was the perfect day for camping. So we packed up and hit the road for Lewis and Clark State park. It was glorious, perfect and exactly how time should be spent outside.

 Both kids did amazingly well. They explored the pop up world around them. They sucked up the true spirit of Lewis and Clark. Brady couldn't wait to use his man tools to help Dad assemble our home for the night. Mr. B usually has a few tools on hand at all times. The fact that his cobalt blue wrench actually came in use for something was beyond exciting for this little camper. Throw in fire starting and I think camping just passed up cookies and girls on Brady's top 10 things in life.

 Documentation that we did in fact stay in a tent and not opt out for a warm, clean hotel.

 This picture was taken by Brady. Since the tent is front and center and we barely made the photo proves that yes, camping has passed up the family too on the favorites list.

 Can you blame him? Look

Fire!

Mallory being a ham. This girl has spirit! She has now informed us that she is no longer "Malligator," she will now only reply to "Malli-piggy!" This girl renamed herself and don't you even try and talk her out of it.

Mallory takes every moment to practice writing her name. Any tools will work. Sand and a stick make for the most beautiful "m" you've ever seen.

Brady on the other hand lives for exciting moments...like walking the slack line. He was determined to take a few steps on his own, but considering the closest ER was about 100 miles away, Dad provided the safety net.

Overall camping was great. I would love to do it again.....but in a camper. Nothing fancy, just something with a bit of temperature and sound control. There was an owl that was "whooo whoo'n" his way through the night. I was about to track him down and light his feather *ss on fire. I'm a girl who needs sleep, 3 hours won't cut it. It's 9 hrs flat or this girl turns into a grizzly bear.
