We just returned from 1.5 days out with our friends, Gwynne and Randy Dalseg, and their twin girls Ellie and Sydney. Our campsite was on the Kitsap peninsula, about 75 miles from here, on the beautiful Hood Canal. We had a great view of the Olympic mountains, and the campsite had a huge grassy field that we loved using. The kids enjoyed the playground in the middle of camp, and used their sand buckets in the sand volleyball court. A&H had such a fun time playing with the other girls, too.
We walked on the "beach" but only briefly, as it was full of big rocks and oyster shells. The grown-ups enjoyed a few games of Rummikub, a long game of bocce ball, and tossing the frisbee.
Sleeping in the tent was our big worry... but the kids slept the whole night through. Whew... we were lucky. The big tent we have was so much fun, and A&H couldn't have had more fun giggling and jumping around on sleepingbags. We also had a nice campfire, and we had s'mores for the first time. Andrew secretly sat and pulled out marshmallow after marshmallow, and shoved them into his mouth. Little did we know he was doing that!
We have to give a huge thank you to our friends Jeremy and Jodi Durr, who kept Greta for 24 hours while we camped. It would have been a much trickier overnight in the woods if we had her with us, since she loves to eat dirt these days. :) Thank you, Durrs!
A few quotes from the weekend:
1) Hailey: "Mama.... a rock just went down my throat...." Oh, niiiiiice, Hailey!
2) Hailey, when changing her clothes into pjs: "Mommy, I didn't spill on my shirt today, so we don't have to put it in the laundry... and I can wear it tomorrow!" (Said about her favorite pink shirt, which was covered in so much dirt you wouldn't believe it...)
3) "Andrew, do you like fish?" Drew: "um... I like goldfish. Goldfish crackers."
Hailey ate TWO ears of corn on the cob! She has Minnesota blood, for sure! Here she shows off the butter, salt, and pepper all over her face..
Drew = 100% Boy
