The kids have been begging to go camping again and the weather has been nice enough lately that we made plans for a quick trip during spring break. Abe schedule didn't allow him to ask for any additional time off other than Friday so we just did a one night campout close by. But it was tons of fun and the kids were great. We couldn't have asked for better weather and it was early enough in the year that no bugs were out.
Ethan giving his univeral "thumbs up". In this instance I think it means "no really mom, its not too cold for swimming." But on other occassions it means "no, that really didn't hurt has bad as it looked" or "I totally meant to do that" or "don't worry mom, this next trick of mine will end fine."
The water was still pretty chilly even though it was in the 80's during the day. The kids tried to swim but they mainly just played in the sand.
The weather in the evening was perfect for hanging around the campfire and cooking some hotdogs.
Ethan did have some doubts about Abe cooking his smores. He can be quite dramatic when he wants to be.
The morning was a little chilly so Taylor decided to crawl back into bed. Abe and Ethan just decided to get comfy in the chairs. And yes it appears that Abe is a bigger wimp about being cold than Ethan is.
We braved the strong winds on the lake to do some canoeing. It sure made for a good workout but I think I will stick to river canoeing. Ethan can't wait until he is big enough to go out in the boat with Abe by himself.
Sometimes these two can be adorable together. It usually just last for a split second though. I love these two cute kids more than anything.
