On our venture to find a camping spot, we took a lunch break next to the creek. Kevin just loved it…he was like a little explorer, wondering up and down the creek. We found a couple of dams and lots of cool mini-rapids. I even lost my shoe, and my little explorer saved the day when he found it floating down the creek!
Thomas enjoyed the creek as well—he splished and splashed (himself as well as all of the rest of us). He was very brave and not at all fearful of the running water. Apparently only big bodies of water intimidate him. Lucas, on the other hand, was quite apprehensive. He did get in and get his little tootsies wet, but he had no desire to tromp through the water like his brothers did.
To top off the creek experience, we got the boys’ fishing poles out, and they got to try their hand at catching the nonexistent fish with their play-fishing poles. The odds were obviously stacked against them, which is probably why no fish were caught…but much fun was had by all!
Eventually we found the perfect camping spot. We quickly got settled in, then we went on a nice little hike. As soon as we headed back to camp, we had chicken and hot dogs on the grill. We decided to start preparing for the camp fire, and Thomas just had to be right in the mix of all. He picked up the largest log he could find, and actually carried it quite a distance to put it in the fire.
He is such a little tuffy! Then Kevin and Lucas joined in the fun and the three of them stacked every piece of firewood that we brought into our fire pit. Needless to say, had we lighten it, we
would have had quite the bonfire!
We look forward to many more camping excursions! Here are some pictures!
