camping two

this was our beach scene. the men built us a shelter for shade, whew. it was hot in the sun. then, Paul and the kids...okay, only Paul, dug out a huge pit and the children played in it. we did a lot of swimming, which was awesome because the sand was soooooooooo soft and clean, and the depth remained super shallow so the kids could go out farther and farther and it was manageable for them. Julia was confident, after two weeks of lessons, and flopped around with and WITHOUT floatation devices! wow. haha. she was a trooper, the waves would splash in her face and she didn't even care! withthe new goggles that daddy bought her, she wooshed and splooshed with delight....although, i think she may still close her eyes when she goes under in them..haha.

Amy and I saw a trail.

need i say more?

okay, we took some kids and ventured off into the wilderness. it was lovely!


......on that trail we found the prettiest fungi! it was peach and orange, lovely!

The trip was great fun. Sam LOVED it and slept better than i imagined! (just as good as at home! yippee) Julia LOVED having friends to run around with all day. We LOVED sharing the cooking with good friends. (THANK YOU FOR THE AWESOME SALMON!!!) and i think we'll do it again next year for a longer period of time...

well...there is much to tell, but i think the Two Towers and a massage are awaiting me...so. off i go!

good night!
