Camping performance





We pretended that the screens were curtains; and Grace put on a show. And Ava did, too. Well, Ava just mostly enjoyed walking around and playing in the dirt.


Camping!

 Loaded up and ready to go! 


 Grace helping...or "overseeing"...the tent set up


 Finding cool rocks


Here is our set up! The river is behind us. A beautiful spot





 Ava's first marshmallow



 Who doesn't love smores?!


 A cutie in carhartt overalls


 Jammies


 Grace and I went for a night-time walk, it was a full moon!



 Someone loved having her very own headlamp




 Getting ready for a hike. Grace walked quite a bit.
 She was very interested in picking wildflowers, so to speed up our hiking she would have to be carried for a bit.  But ONLY if Daddy picked wildflowers and handed them to her.


 Ava did awesome. She chatted and sang the whole time, then fell asleep. 


Grace loves finding grasshoppers. She has a bug box that she has been putting bugs in lately. 
If she catches a grasshopper, she names it "grassy".
