We went camping for 4 days this last week. In the past, we have gone for the July 4th weekend, but decided against that this year. We went early in the week and headed home as everyone else was heading out. We beat the crowds. For the first time since we've been back, it was just us, which was nice. The girls had a great time playing on their "best friend"-Big Rock. They could sit on the rock and watch the main road below. It was especially great to watch for Grandma and Grandpa when they came up for the day. They spent hours on the rock playing and having fun.
We took a drive to a pretty little pond called Blue spring Pond-wonder how it got that name? It was really pretty, the picture doesn't do it justice. Addyson is a little bug lover. She found this butterfly on the ground, one wing smashed and tried to make it fly again. She also found a Caterpillar that she toted around camp for a while. We told her to put it down so that it could turn into a butterfly. She did, or so we thought. She informed me later that night that she had smushed it dead. She didn't feel even the slightest bit sad about it.
I always take pictures of the girls sleeping, even though Scott makes fun of me for it. I can look back on rough days or when they are fighting and remind myself that they are cute and not always trying to irritate each other. :) Besides, that is the only time they don't complain about getting their pictures taken!
I was sitting in camp the first night while the others were out walking, and was surprised to see a raccoon in camp. We didn't see her the next day, but she was there. We went to the lake for several hours and came back to find our bin of food open. The leftover buns and 1/2 loaf of bread were missing. I made sure that everything was closed up when we left, so she must have been smart to get it open. A couple nights later, she came back. We scared her off several times, but she kept coming back. We stayed quiet one time to see what she would do. She climbed on the table and couldn't get into the bins that were bungeed together, so she pushed them off the table to give it a try. Smart animal. We went ahead and put the food in the truck that night. Poor Addyson was so concerned about the raccoon and our food. She even prayed to keep our food safe from it!
