Camping With Jake

We had a few days off around the holiday and no where in particular to be so.....off we went with our tent.

There's a state park not far from our house. A perfect place to take our two-year old on a camping trip. If it all went bad, we were 30 minutes from the house.

Jake was so into it he wouldn't take a nap. I need to apologize to our neighbors for the crying background noise they roasted their marshmellows to. Yes, a little boy was over tired and had had a tough time gearing down for the night.

He had spent his day doing this:

And this:

He loved his little hike and walking stick so much that we did it all over again the next day!

One lesson I learned. When playing with your child in the woods... bright-colored clothes are a plus.

Another thing I learned, you can spend a lot of time putting rocks and leaves in a plastic bag and call it a "nature walk".

I love doing things like this. Making memories and getting away from all things electrical.

Next trip is just a week away and like everyone else headed south.... oil is top concern.

It will be fine. It will be fine. It will be fine. (yeah..talking myself into that one)
