Camping

We had so much fun at Little Talbot Island at the end of April.  The saddest thing was that the Borges were not able to join us.  Adeline was very distraught.  Next time we hope to have them.  So yes that is a clue.  It went so well we hope to have a next time.

The park was in excellent condition.  We only had to walk 15 min to get to the beach and play chicken crossing a busy road.  But really it went just fine and the girls rode in the wagon.  Plus it gave us something to do.

 

Adventure:  The first night was got soaked when a toad strangler front passed through.  Praise God it was not like in NW Gainesville with trees down and all, just a lot of lightening and rain, rain, rain.  Essie woke up in a puddle nad I pulled her in between bryan and I where I thought was a dry area.  Then later found Adeline on her air mattress soaked (the blanket had soaked up all sorts of water and ergo she was soaked).  She promptly too went between bryan and I.  Now literally we all three were sleeping on our sides to fit on 2 sleeping bags.  Adeline went right back to sleep.  In the morning all blankets and bags were dripping with water.  However, Praise to God again, it was a very hot Saturday.  So much so it dried out pillows, blankets, sleeping bags, tent and all.  So Saturday wasn’t as memorable, we slept dry and very well that night.  Though we did eat some delicious burgers and mac-n-cheese.

Our camp site:

The Beach where we flew our kite every time we were out there.  Adeline was so excited.  Much time was spent digging, building and breaking down sand creations:

Essie wouldn’t have much to do with the water and insisted on being held when my feet were all that was getting wet.  Now to figure how to undo that fear!  Where as Adeline LOVED the water and kept asking to go out deep.  Deep to her thankfully was to her waist.  That’s my girl – cautious (or at least for now).

We awoke to some fierce gnats.  So that lead to breakfast in the tent.  Which we already had prepared – biscuits and honey.  Go figure, we had already had this a couple of times, but this time (in the tent) the lid of the honey popped off and went just about everywhere.  Adeline enjoyed that biscuit for sure!  After beach time Sunday morning we had lunch at their picnic tables, and then we headed home (girls fast asleep).  Once home we promptly started on the Dora slip n slide.  It was a great weekend packed with fun!  And a huge side note… about 7 loads of laundry got done before we went to bed Sunday night.  Thanks Bryan!!!

Bryan did all the cooking that required fire or heat… and the dishes!  Thanks Babe:

God is good!  What a beautiful world he has created:
