Camping

This blog should have happened back in June, but I just haven't had time. We went camping with some friends for a couple nights and had lots of fun. The kids loved doing all the fun activities like canoeing, archery, a water balloon fight, roasting s'mores, and playing in the sand at the beach. Trevor was a bit panicked about being in the canoe and was a terrible sleeper at night, but we had a pleasant time having a nap together while I held him sitting in a chair while everyone else was down at the beach. Our nights were also interrupted by a racoon who was banging around in our stuff, so Austin chased it away, then went on an early morning hunt with his sling shot. He didn't get it, but he and the kids enjoyed the chase.

Asher and Leif were very eager for Austin to row us over to a little island in the lake so they could get out and explore a bit.

Here is a shot of Trevor when he finally fell asleep in the morning after hours of crawling all over the tent stepping on everyone in his confusion about not being in his crib. He looks orange because our tent is orange.

Asher was a bit upset when he wasn't able to hit the target right away, so when everyone else got tired and went back to camp, he asked Austin to stay with him and practice. It paid off and he was able to get a bull's eye.

This is a picture Austin got when he got up early to look for the racoon.

And here's the little fellow who bugged us all night!
