My girls are like me in a lot of ways, but there are a few ways that clearly demonstrate the contribution of hubby's DNA. The way they look for starters. I can't tell you how often I get the strange looks in stores when I walk in with the blonde hair/blue eyed angels. Forget the fact that their bone structure has "me" written all over it. But I digress.
The A's definitely have their daddy's affection for the outdoors. For quite a while this year, Little A especially was keen on having a camping trip. Since I wasn't down with camping along with them (or hubby taking them out into the wilderness), we agreed that camping in the backyard was a good compromise.
Little A could hardly contain her excitement

Big A was pretty happy also
They loved playing in the tent
And playing some more
And daddy even created a fire pit (of sorts) so that the roasting of marshmellows could happen. The girls were happy as larks!
And much to my surprise, the girls slept the whole night without a peep and couldn't wait to do it again. Meanwhile, the cats & I piled into my bed and slept pretty well ourselves.
So, when's that next camping trip?

I used to love camping, but after Gabe was born, we kind of fell out of it. I like the idea of having the husbands doing the camping while we are snug in our own comfy beds...smart thinking, Angie!
Love the "campfire"!
Great pics!
I was wondering if you became one with nature and joined them...
but, I guess I should have known better, right? ;)
My family absolutely loves to camp. We are wild for it. We will probably go for a few days before the kids go back to school from Christmas break.
My little girl will be having a sleepover on her birthday in Jan and she wants to camp in the back yard.
We went camping quite a bit when I was a kid and we did a LOT of backyard camping. Methinks my mama wanted some alone time. Whatever, it was FUN!
I agree with you - love the outdoors, but not sleeping in it! So glad they had fun with Jake and I agree, it's perfect downtime for mom!
