Happy Campers

For those of you that know Kurt and I, you know that camping is our passion. We bought our first tent just months into our relationship, our first pop-up camper the year we were engaged, and we purchased our travel trailer on the day that Mary was born. We. love. camping.

So this weekend was absolutely beautiful and we decided it was time to break out the campers. We spent the weekend at a state park just a few miles from here with my sister Stacy, her husband, and their twin boys. It was such a great time. Mary just loves being around her cousins, Clayton in particular. Those two just 'get' each other. They laugh so hard together and have a blast screaming and being silly. They roll around, Clayton gives Mary hugs and kisses, and, in general, they can't get enough of each other. It was great to see them having such fun.

On the first night there we went for a walk around the campground. Because we were camping, we HAD to bring along some beverages and we tossed a couple cans of Bud Lite into the wagon. Imagine our surprise when we look back and Clayton and Mary are "drinking" the UNOPENED cans of Bud Lite! It was too funny! I think Mary just enjoyed the cold feeling of the can on her gums and since Mary was doing it...Clayton had to join in as well!


And for those of you that missed it before...the cans are unopened!


I also picked up a fun garage sale toy for Mary. This Radio Flyer "bike" is the perfect size for her and she loves to honk the horn. The best part..only ten bucks!

So glad you had a great weekend get away. Love the beer pics...my parents have one of me like that when I was 3. Mary will find it amusing as she gets older. Glad you snapped that pic.

Hey girl- glad to see that you're starting little Mary young as well:) Too cute. I can't believe she's already down to one nap a day- crazy! I love nap time, don't want to see it go. But Taryn also will only sleep for a half hour or so, so he needs his two haps a day. Anyway, did you get my email? Let's do a play day soon. Love you all, Rachel
