Camping

Spring break was so fantastic. Yes, I've had way too many posts about this week. But it was a blast. I really think that this has been the only time since I've known Will that we've both had a spring break off together. By "off" I mean we were both at home. Not that we weren't working. :)  Will did put in one day at the office.

To top off a fabulous week, we went camping with some friends from our church. We took up a whole circular area at the park. Several of Nathaniel's friends from his Bible class were there, and he had a terrific time. For some reason these uploaded in the opposite order that I intended, so the beginning pictures were actually at the end of our trip.

Breakfast on our last morning. Someone is a little grumpy.

All of the kiddos in our "group" after the hike.




Sophia, Isabella, Nathaniel and Olivia




Inside the nature center there were all kinds of creatures. I took pictures of the boys touching all of them. Baby alligator first.

He has no fear.



This one totally creeped me out.

Campfire! Nathaniel loved s'mores.



This is the view as we were driving in. It was pretty crowded.

Beautiful trees.


I think the trip was a success . . . can't wait to go again.

Petting zoo

Over spring break they had a free petting zoo at the library so we had to go check it out. Mimi even bought some food, so the first few pictures are Nathaniel feeding the donkey.

More Family Fun

Here are some more pictures from our visit with my family. The first few pics are of Nathaniel playing dinosaurs with granddad.





Will smoked a turkey for us on the grill!



Aunt Hill and Nathaniel did a lot of reading together. He loves his Aunt!

Family Outside

We spent a lot of mornings playing outside while our family was here. Again, the weather was terrific.
