Camping Bears

Did our first overnight camp trip that included Jacqueline.  Cousins came along too which made it a great time for everyone and a bit more relaxing for us.

The girls set right to work making a camp sign for us.  Art projects are a big hit these days and having them working on that gave us a chance to unload the car with them occupied.  

Of course now that Jacqueline is on her way to three we have our occasional [frequent] meltdown times.  I've decided to get a few of these on film as proof of just what the drama can involve.  This particular meltdown was memorable for the quote "I don't have ANY crayons". Clearly whatever is in her hands are something other then "any" but attempting to reason with a near-3-year-old is something I haven't seemed to figure out.   Instead I decided to take a photo, since there was not going to be any way to accomplish the real intent (get all the crayons from Ashton).

Our new tent was a big hit for the whole family.  Dad liked it for coolness factor, mom liked the fact it was tall on the inside and the girls liked their little "rooms".   Our only issue setting up the tent was that we thought we had done it wrong initially but in the end we had it perfect.   It was great to get a chance to use the rest of our camp gear. 

Both girls slept great.  Mom had a few issues, in that there was someones baby who was crying in the middle of the night.  Even though I knew very well it wasn't either of my babies (they were w/in arms reach), somehow I had to stay awake until that baby was settled as well.  Boy how things have changed!
