Camping, Take Two (Literally)

 Lo:  Mommy and Daddy took us on ANOTHER camping trip.   They made me promise to "not wake them up."  Hmmm.

Ro:  Sissy, look at me.   I'm just having a little quiet time.

Lo:  We stayed at Deception Pass where we were right on the beach.  Sand!  Rocks!

Ro:  This is my contemplative look

 Lo:  This water is cold!

Ro:  While Sissy "napped,"  Mommy and I went [barefoot] discovering

Ro:  We did some twirling, too


Ro:  Who says you can't climb in a dress?!?  (Daddy, that's who)

Daddy:  OK, girls, this is Firebuilding 101.  First step, build the foundation of your log cabin.

Ro:  This marshmallow reminds me of a wand

Lo:  Is this how you do it?

Ro/Lo:  Mommy shows us a good technique...

Ro/Lo:  After dinner wrestling on the tarp

Ro/Lo:  Snuggling up with Mommy before bed

Lo:  Next morning walk in my jammies and rain boots

Ro/Lo:  Watching Tangled on the way home.  Good trip Mommy and Daddy!
