Camping

Jake was planning to camp with some guys last Friday night. Soooo, as a treat for us abandoned ones (not that I was too sad to sleep in the air-conditioning), I told Ava that we would spend the night at Grandma’s. Sadly, Jake’s outing was cancelled, leaving me to wonder how we would break the news to Ava or if we should still follow through with our plans. Enter brave husband. Same husband offered to set up the tent at Grandma’s and sleep in it with Ava. Furthermore offered to take niece & nephews as well.

After much excitement on the part of one two-year-old that I know well, we finally made it to mom’s. It’s amazing how imagining how good it will be is almost as fun as the event itself. She spent lots of time talking beforehand about the size of the giant marshmallows she would put on a stick.

Here are some pics:

Truth be told, Daddy slept better in the tent with daughter than Mommy did inside with son. (Grrr…)

Here is the special grandma who allowed us to crash her place. We love you!!
