Camping

MJ lovin' Parachute time.
CR lovin' swimming time with mom.




MJ lovin'the Smore HE made and CR roasting marshmallows and being mesmerized by the fire.














Just enjoying the ride!
Silly Birds...I mean boys.











MJ with a "real" Yogi.
CR with a Yogi statue.

We took the boys camping (for the first time) this weekend. It was very fun and the boys want to go back! We didn't go remote backwoods camping...we went to Yogi Bear's Jellystone camping! It was full of fun things to do and the boys were exhausted and stayed up the latest they have ever been up! This was also the first time the boys ever slept in the same room, which was kind of cool. CR had a hard time falling asleep the first night, but he got use to it by the second night. The weekend was packed with going on the paddle boats, mini-golf, golf cart ride around the lake and thru the woods, making a pet rock (MJ named his Toad Hop), watching movies at the drive in under the stars, gazing at all the amazing starts, roasting marshmallows and making smores, swimming, parachute playing, baseball and soccer with the family, cooking yummy grilled cheeses on the camping stove, etc. etc. etc. It was very packed and the boys totally crashed on the way home. Funny things to note: 1) A 2-year old is dangerous with a golf club and is more interested in getting his picture taken with the large Yogi sculpture than golf. 2) MJ really really likes roasted marshmallows and picked up on how to make smores on the first try. CR did not like roasted marshmallows....too messy. 3) MJ held his poop the entire weekend. 4) CR was not a fan of the boat....a little too wobbly. MJ thought it was way cool, but didn't want to get too far away from shore. 5) Cooking and eating outside is awesome. 6) CR did not want those walking Yogi, Cindy, and Boo Boo bear anywhere near him (who can blame him). MJ liked them a lot. However, if you ask CR what his favorite part of camping was, he will tell you "Yogi the Bear"! 7) MJ caught 2 baseballs in his glove in a row and some guy went by and yelled "good catch" and he was beaming the rest of the day! 8) Chad and I like beer, but different kinds. I like to see through my beer and Chad doesn't. We accept this difference. 9) On Sat. night MJ was sooo tired. He asked me "mom, can we roast marshmallow at home sometime?" I said yes, then he said "OK, can I please go to bed now then."
Happy Nappy Boys.
