 Playing with walky talkies:

 As you can see we had a blast!  I got to read, relax, ahhhh. R (got filthy), collected bugs and butterflies the whole time, and yes cried when we had to leave them. P (got filthy), created elaborate stories about the “Wizard of Oz” (I had just finished reading it to them before we left ). She made everyone in the family a different character in the story. S (got filthy, filthy, filthy ), helped daddy do the male things, like hammer, collect fire wood, and love the freedom of the outdoors. Jeff was in HEAVEN, he loves every little thing about a camping trip. Sweet Pea (got filthy), “Woof, Woof this is where I was meant to be!”

Well we’re going again, for a short trip, this coming weekend. Life is good .

Butterflies

Posted by Coral on May 11, 2009

Well we did our butterfly thing, it was very cool! We have already let them go .  R was very sad, yet our winged friends made it easy on her. They stayed around for a good couple of hours.They were not quite sure what to do with their new found freedom. The girls got to hold them, and see them very close up. Anyway, I think we will do the butterflies again. Once you buy the habitat it is only $6 to purchase more butterflies, later on, neat right! I might also look into the other critter habitats that are avalible.

By the way I know it has been a while since my last blog post. My laptop died , and it has taken time to get everything set up on my new one. Glad to be  back!
