we camped for labor day weekend.

the man, the girl and i drove to the grey's river in wyoming and stayed in our trailer. where was boy, you ask? having a grand time with nana and bapa (my parents). there are some of you who may think me a wimp for not taking both kids on this adventure. i just call it, "knowing my limits". truth be told i am not a natural born camper i'm not even an unnatural born camper. i come by that honestly however, i mean, have you met my family? i go for three reasons: 1) my husband loves it 2) i love my husband and 3) if i want to see my husband during this time of year this is where i must go. and so i went, sans the two year old who is the epitome of a busy boy and would have been a source of extra stress in an environment i'm already fairly uncomforable in.

oddly enough, i really had a good time. i slept well and slept in--something i haven't done in an insanely long time. i attribute the sleeping well to my husband's foresight in purchasing a new/used trailer that had heat, running water, and a bathroom. camping is much more endurable under such circumstances. i also was able to spend some quality one on one time with my beautiful little girl who is developing quite the personality. i had such a nice time that when it was time to come home i was almost bummed (though i was excited to see my boy). i do think that next year, though, i would like to that particular trip without children at all. now that would be relaxing.

the pics are fairly self explanatory, but here's a little sum up.

1. scout catching up on her gossip ( i think she's "reading" People magazine). she ate more than she read though and i know this because she eliminated a piece of magazine the next morning. now that's an odd sight in a diaper.

2. our camping buddies, brent's cousin's fam: tavis and amber ervin and co.

3.the hunter

4. mom and girl

5.scout's first night camping, she looks pretty excited, eh?
