~ Camping! ~

O hmy what a weekend! We headed out camping at Inks Lake during Spring Break with our friends the Ketchums. What a blast!!! Ethan had so much energy and couldn't wait for the fun to begin. He wanted to try kayaking. We'd gone canoeing that morning and that wet his appetite (pun intended). We were sad upon returning to find out they'd closed for the day and would be able to go before leaving the next morning. Needless to say it is on the top of the list the next time out. That boy wore himself out! He was in bed early and the last one up for breakfast. Anyone who knows our E knows he is awake before the rooster. Emily had a wonderful time in the great outdoors! For a child who was TERRIFIED of flies and any type insect really has turned a corner in that department. One night after using the shower facilities we headed to the bathroom to dry her hair and happened upon a spider. We were the privledged observers as he trapped and wrapped a fly and then caught himself a june bug. That poor bug wore himself plum out trying to get away. Emily's take on it all was jaded, as if she witnessed that everyday. Emily's comment on the whole camping experience was" the worst thing about camping is packing up." Amen! We already have the next trip planned...
