Camping

Because I am 30 minutes from the boys getting off the bus and having a new weekend begin, I am posting last weekend's photos before it's too late.

Thankfully, our adventures were fairly controlled. We saw a big wolf as we drove to our campsite, we chased a moose down the road, and we watched a beaver cross the road ahead of us. But no bears in our campsite. (That we know of.)

Here, the boys catch tadpoles in a big puddle. They followed us home and are our new pets.



Notice the gourmet quality of this meal. Couscous, asparagus and... bratwurst and hotdogs. Oh well, the protein was supposed to be fish, but that just didn't happen. Our back-up hotdogs and brats filled in nicely.



Yes, the boys are safely tethered to their father on shore.


We had our decking materials delivered right before we left home Friday evening. So we had to work to not think about what we could be accomplishing at home too much. But, in the end, we agreed that a weekend of camping was a much better choice for our kids. The had a blast and got more attention than they would have in the midst of building a deck.

I leave you with a mini bouquet Eli and I picked. The tiny flowers and cranberry plants were blooming.
