Last weekend, we joined Nana and Pepere in Manchester (!), WA for a bit of camping at the state park.
It was the first time camping for both Maggie and Zoe as well as Nana and Pepere's first time camping with tots since, well, since my brothers and I were tots, I guess.
It was *great*. Apparently there's nothing like LOTS of fresh air, a camp fire (with those "special camping cookies") and all the sights and sounds of the great outdoors to extract happiness, great behavior and FATIGUE from the girls. Love it.
There are lots of shots, but we didn't get shots of
all the cuteness from the weekend because we were too busy enjoying it. I think these are pretty fun:
Zoe and her daddy on the ferry
Miss M on the boat, too
Mags and mom
Zoe - postcard greetings?
a snack for the road (?)

and succumbing to fresh-air-induced sleepiness!

Sweet feet
Weary little legs catching a lift from Daddy and Pepere
Mom and Zo taking a dip
Zoe's unwelcome visitor ;)
Maggie, oblivious to the creep-factor ;)

How to dismantle a s'more:
Yes. I was fixated on Maggie's excellent eating and sleeping habits over the weekend. I'm strongly considering popping a pup tent, throwing open the windows and lighting a camp fire in Maggie's room because before the big camp-out, we had yet to see (and have yet to see since) her so well-spent. I am ready for a bit of that at home...
Thanks to Nana and Pepere for the invite and the two extra sets of hands. We had a great time and look forward to doing it again!
