Wow are we behind

We are really sorry that we are behind in our blog posts. We've been pretty busy. We've got a few pictures that we can share. Hopefully that makes up for our lax posting.

Over labor day we went camping with our friends Amanda, David and their daughter Ruthie. Ruthie is four days older than Caroline. So, Amanda and I got to walk through our pregnancies together.

You can see above a picture of Caroline and Jack in front of our tent at the camp site. Caroline has a much smaller tent of her own that fits inside of her tent. So, she slept in with us all cozy in her own space.
You can just barely see it up at the top of this picture, but David's parents have an RV which they graciously let us all use that weekend. Amanda, David and Ruthie slept in there and we all enjoyed running water while we camped.
Caroline has been in pools and, of course, the bath. But, this was her first introduction to sand and that mud that can only be found at the bottom of lakes. She thought that it was pretty fun. She ended up getting so wet that we had to take off her onsie (luckily it was a pretty warm day).

Ruthie thought the whole adventure was pretty fun too. We had a nice walk around the campground on Saturday, played in the lake and generally relaxed. On Sunday of Labor Day weekend we took a five mile hike/picnic. The girls did pretty well, falling asleep in their respective carriers on the way home. All in all we thought it was a successful first camping trip with babies. They ate a little dirt and got a little dirty as kids are supposed to. The adults relaxed, played bocce golf, hiked and generally enjoyed the outdoors. Everyone was happy!
