Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known.

This year, the Fall family vacation was camping in California. We woke up to this lovely sight every morning. It was a nice break from work and chores and time lines.
The Boy and the monsters were SO SO SO excited to get the camping fun started that they left without me. This is what two children who have been camping alone with their papa for three whole days look like.
Burrito will truthfully admit that he's only into fishing for the sunflower seeds. Oh, and the buzz lightyear fishing pole of course. He needed his big sister to put the worm on his hook, take the fish off his hook, and liberate the ones who were too small for eating.
He did however eat an entire bag of jalapeno salsa sunflower seeds (shells and all)....
A big thank you to Annabell who willingly let Burrito use her tail as a tow rope when he was too tired to continue on our hiking adventure.
Grandma volunteered to tow thing 1 and thing 2 in the bike trailer the 10 miles we road up the Bizz Johnson Trail. I'm pretty sure we'd still be out there if the task was assigned to me...
My favorite part of the bike ride is going through the train tunnels!

No one was eaten by bears, we had delicious campfire dinners every night, and the children are more or less cleaned up now.
Off to do some laundry now.
I stand by what I said, you can wash the kids and within 20 minutes they are back to looking like that, you saw it with your own eyes.
ReplyDeleteJust like cleaning their room....apparently. ;)
