campfires.

One of the best things about camping?

The campfire.

Sitting around it together (or by yourself).  Cooking a meal.  Enjoying it's warmth.  S'mores.

I love it all.  It just may be the best part of camping.

Campfire smoke right in the face though...

just might be the worst.

at the campsite with E.

I don't have any words that explain the experience of camping with Ella better than a few photos...

She's busy.  

All the time. 

Busy & cute.

in & out of the tent.

If you take a 2 year old and a 4 year old camping and you want to keep the flies out of the tent, you make them zip it every time they go in or out. 

You think this effort will deter them from going in and out every 2.3 seconds.

But you forget that they love to zip and unzip the tent.

So how many times do you think they went in & out?

I don't know either, but at least they zipped the tent up each and every time.

welcoming the cool front.

We skipped out of town right after church on Sunday to take advantage of the fresh, cool 70 degrees that blew in the early hours of that morning.

I wish we could have stayed for a week.  Or forever.

More camping pics later...
