Camping

Despite the crummy weather for the first half of the weekend, the camping trip earned every one of the thumbs up Jakob is giving in these pictures.  Dan and Jakob only briefly left during the heavy rain on Saturday (for a shower and dinner at our friends' in Richmond), otherwise they were there fishing, canoeing, hiking, and building legos and campfires from Friday morning until Monday morning.  Everleigh and I visited Saturday morning for some swimming, then returned for her first overnight on Sunday.  She even took a one hour nap in the lean-to on Sunday afternoon...a true miracle!  There was also lots of wrestling and swinging.  A special and long overdue thanks to Aunt Heather for hooking us up with some awesome and wicked effective camping gear...loved that camping stove!!
