I'm in.


I think I might be a camper.
Besides the packing up and putting away gear when you get home.
If someone would just do that for me I'd go a couple times a month.
I don't want to do anything crazy like hike into the campsite.
Or do my business in the woods.
But I like being kind of dirty.
I like throwing together meals with friends.
I like my kids to pass out exhausted after a long, perfect, no nap day.
I like stinking like a campfire.
I like waking up with Charlie grinning at me from 2 feet away.
I like being on vacation without spending a lot of money.
I kind of like sleeping on my air mattress.
I really like getting to know my friends and their kids better.
"We" (Fynn's dad) played fetch with the dog (and the kids).
Charlie
Will
and Hads coated themselves in sand.
And thought it was so funny.

{LOVE}
Hads, the jumping bean
(this might have been as high as she got off that ball
but she thought she was high five-ing clouds.)
cute
posers
Niamh's supermodel pose.
I could just sit in a room with him all day.
that face.
the nicest, most chill kiddo
with an "I love mommy" handmade sign on his helmet
that he wore for an hour on the beach before
remembering he still had it on.

Don't know how I missed Fynn
but he and Will had a blast together!
Thanks for letting us invite ourselves on your adventure, girls.
We loved it!

I don't like being dirty. I hate smelling like a campfire. But I totally love getting to know my friends and their kids better. And, I really like cleaning up after everyone. Its kind of like hanging someone else's PN.
I am SO happy that you and the gang came. Only wish you were able to stay longer.
I think that in a few weeks we can book next year's trip. You better be in.

Katie Sands, I am washing your mouth out with soap. Malia, you were the highlight of everyone's camping trip and so were your mini's. Hate to break it to you. But now you are in for eternity. Don't pal around with that Katie girl. She's a bad influence.
