camping - 07/14

We had a great time camping at William Lake - went on Sunday and stayed for 2 nights. It was a lot of fun, the kids had a great time, and we all can't wait for the next stretch of nice weather so we can go again! The only trouble we had was with Ruth and Zech - sleeping on an air mattress always means rolling and leaning in the night, apparently he touched her sleeping bag, she woke us at 3am (both nights!) yelling and crying at him to get off her sleeping bag, stop touching her, and leave her alone. We've all ready gotten some exercise mats so they can each have their space - hopefully that will resolve the issue. They had no trouble at all with sleeping in the tent themselves, being "away" from us, or anything, just the mattress.
Levi had a blast, got absolutely dirty every day, and loved the beach and water. He had no troubles with napping or sleeping - being outside in the fresh air all the time helps with that I think!

Where's Levi?

There he is!

a chipmunk came right in and started eating Myles' food right out of the bowl! Myles was not bothered in the least by this - if you know Myles, you know this.

he got scared off after a few minutes, but didn't go far (just to the corner of the site) before stopping to keep eating.

bad photo of the beach - I'll get a better one next time we go!

Levi playing in the lake!

He loves the water!

Funny timing - we got down to the beach just minutes after a couple kids from Minto arrived, so the kids had fun playing and swimming with friends!
Ruthie's in the middle (the monkey in the middle!), Zech's in the green tube, Isaac's in the black tube.

and there's a video on the dropshots site of Levi splashing and talking in the lake!

July 13th - at home, with trucks!
We came home to construction - they're working on the ditch, trying to prevent more flooding in town.
Levi loved watching the back hoe and trucks!

he kept talking, telling us all about them (we assume!)

a dark photo, but can you see that smile? so happy!

cute little dude
