Cal is turning 4 next month. Lately I have been thinking about how my "trial" parenting time is over. I have memories from his age so I can only assume he will have some too. And I really don't want those memories to be the not-so-good-moments. So, I hope he remembers the good times like these ones.
Unfortunately, we let our sleeping bags sit out in the nice tall grass for several hours and then were eaten alive during the night by disgusting little larva. Doug (43 bites) and I walked away from the night looking like we had the chicken pox. And then we itched, really, REALLY bad for 4 straight days.
We were lucky to have a few friends join us for dinner & smores since the site is so close to home.
The dad's had a great time making up kid friendly/not so friendly ghost stories.
My favorite part was after the kids were in bed and everyone went home, Doug and I were talking by the fire about the only thing we know how to talk about....what will he do when he grows up, and a tree started shaking and crunching. He claims not too have been too scared, but he was. But being the protector of the family and all, he remained seated and opted for clicking on his handy dandy head light. We watched a very large raccoon, think fox size, walk right into our camp, around our tent, decide he didn't want to eat our garbage or our children for that matter, and walk off.
I love having my little family! They are the best!

Ty wants to know what a chigger is?!
I never thought of it as a trial parenting time. I live that idea! It's like you can start fresh at age 4! :) sorry you got eaten alive...
I never thought about it being a trial parenting time. What a great idea! It's like you can start anew at age 4! Sorry you got eaten alive... Looks fun though!
Oh what a cute little family you two have! And what a fun little camping trip! Minus the larva ofcourse :) I am glad you guys are doing well... it would be so fun to see you again sometime! Hopefully we will both be in AZ at the same time eventually!
