camping

Zenya and I spent a couple of days camping in Porpoise Bay with Grandpa and Tita this week.

Yes, you read that right:

I went camping.

For those of you who know me well, I need not tell you what an impressive feat that was.

And you know what?

It was fun.

I can see why people camp

and I might even venture to say that I would do it again...

Zenya had a really good time overall

but 2 nights away from home was enough for her.

We brought the dogs which was good because I think it settled her a lot 

knowing our whole family was together.

The dogs even slept in our tent.

Thisbe was actually in my bed.

So was Zenya.

It was a single air mattress.

Everyone slept well except for me squished in the middle 

but I digress.

On with some pictures.

Zenya's bed, where the stuffies slept by themselves

Digging for clams

Found one!

Morning walk with the dogs

(she is so proud that she can walk Bizzee all by herself)

getting off of grandpa's boat

What's camping without hot chocolate?

First hike through the forest

First time playing in the sand.

It took her a few seconds to get used to the sensation, but then she just got right in there

digging holes

burying her hands and my feet

"beach fun mama!"

All cleaned up and having a little snack before bed.
