1st Camping Trip

“That wasn’t fun!” were Bubs’ comments about going down the little rapids. He didn’t think there was enough excitement going over the rocks with “Auntie” Bobbie in an inner tube.

But, it all changed to…
“That was awesome!” – when they both started a little further down the river & fell out of the raft! Bobbie didn’t think it was so fun though. She quickly managed to grab onto Bub’s life vest!

Luckily, mommy didn’t see any of it! She was around the bend with K, behind a Big Rock waiting with a water camera, ready to take their photo.

The kids experienced their first camping trip this past weekend. It was just me with 7 others (4 adults, 3 kids) I believe they had a great time and made new friends. My kids enjoyed sleeping in a tent & being dirty all weekend long! K’s highlight was jumping in the river Saturday night with her clothes on. Why not? They were getting ready for bed, lets get crazy.

We all found ourselves having fun in the great outdoors without video games, computers, no cell phone reception – it was great. (I did let them watch a movie before bed on the portable DVD player, though.) It was a way for all of us to relax before bed.

Thank you Navarro’s for booking the 2 best campsites! And thank you Bobbie for bringing all the camping stuff and letting us join you!

Note to Bobbie: Bub’s was so tired last night. He followed me around the house. At first he was crying, and then bawling. Lots of tears and gasping for air. It was cute in a way, but also so sad to watch. He was crying for Cody. He loved Cody; he wanted to live with Cody. He was afraid that he was never again going to see Cody. He missed Cody. He wants a Star Wars book just like Cody. He wants everything like Cody!! Your son had quite an impact on Bubs! Must have been that 40 minutes or so bonding time at your house. He woke up this morning asked when he can have a sleepover with Cody. We’ll definitely have to get together again sometime soon!
