Camping over October Break


Sorry for not posting lately. Life has been crazy!!! My parents aged on me overnight but things seem to be back to normal now. My Mom ended up having emergency surgery and had to stay in ICU overnight. And my Dad could barely walk the length of the halls to see her because he was having so much pain in his hip. After two long weeks they seem to be better and so our family decided to do an overnighter in the mountains. It was freezing cold to us and so we had to stay in the trailer(we were able to borrow it from my parents - thank goodness) most of the time. We have never camped just our family and so it was fun to spend a little time together - just us! Kalley and Cassidy were all ready for bed and it was still light out.




It was soooo windy out that while we were there a huge tree fell over - we went to investigate and this is what we found.



There were these huge worms inside the remaining stump! It was disgusting. We also stayed busy making fairy homes. This kept Lexy busy the whole time! It was fun to look around and find things that would work. We also did a lot of rock collecting. I couldn't convince Cassidy to not pick up so many so I would have to throw some the other way while she wasn't looking.



I tried at all costs to hide me growing belly. It is amazing how quickly my body has decided to be pregnant with this one. I am 3 months pregnant looking like I am going on 5 months. Oh well !

Looks like fun! I love camping but Rick hates it so we never get to go. This summer was the first time our whole family has gone camping together EVER. Sad...
I'm sorry to hear your parents have been having such a hard time. If you ever need me to take over a sharing time or something, please don't hesitate to ask!

Cassidy is so cute, I just love her! Give her a birthday hug from us :)

That is great that even with ALL girls, you guys are out there camping...

That worm completely reminds me of the one on Sesame Street that is Oscars friend!

Would you just let us see your cute belly? some of us don't have the pleasure of seeing it in person! :)

Tell the Patrick & The girls we say Hi!
