At the last minute, and against our better judgment, we quickly packed up the car on Friday and went for a camping trip to Little Bennett. The idea was that Cora and I would eat dinner with Israel and Quinn, and then they'd stay the night, and we'd come home. Well, of course, just as we are pulling in, it starts raining. It rains as I set up the "pack n play" for Cora and as Israel sets up the tent. It rains as Quinn is out looking for firewood. Cora commences to eat many tree-parts that drop into her little crib. We hastily cooked hot dogs (yummy thanks to Israel) and the rain subsided a bit. Then we had fruit, chips, and finally roasted marshmallows.
After dinner, Israel was psyching Quinn up, saying "Are you ready for an adventure??" And Quinn finally looked around after saying "yes" a couple times... and said "Where's the adventure?"
Cora and I left for the night as Quinn and Israel went out exploring in the "deep, dark woods" with their flashlights. They went in the tent for the night, and were so hot and sweaty that they decided to finally pack up and come home at 1 am! Quinn slept for a couple hours in the tent, at least! But they will go again soon with more planning and hopefully less rain.
This shot reminds me of her daddy. What do you think? Oh, and by the way... if you are taking the time to look at my blog, please send me a comment, as I'd love to hear from you!
