Before we start, here's a cute picture of Gage. He has figured out the rolling thing...he had rolled right up next to his bouncy seat and was chewing on it! I ran to get the camera but he had stopped chewing on the seat. Still a cute picture!Now to camping...we took our first camping trip of the year a couple of weekends ago with our dear friends the Smiths! We drove to Foss Lake (about 2 hours west of here) because Trevor's dad has a boat that he stores at the lake. It was a really nice place to camp...we had a spot right next to the lake and spent most of the time out on their boat.

This picture just shows what being a mother of 3 is doing to me. I started painting my toenails before we left to go camping but got distracted. Lovely!

We were on the boat from about 9-2 on Saturday. Here we are taking a break from the boat to eat lunch. The kids really did great, considering they were confined in a small space in the middle of a lake! They ate snacks, took turns fishing, and even napped (as you'll see in some of the next pictures!)
REmember how afraid of bugs Sophie used to be? Well, her sister is definitely the opposite!
The water was super cold but it didn't seem to bother Gage!
Mike caught the only fish of the trip...it was the biggest one he's ever caught!
Gage and Elsie taking naps (notice Michelle is fishing while having Elsie lay in her lap...she's quite a woman. And pregnant too!)
Gage is napping again (yes, we were breaking some rules by not having a life vest on him, but we always had one right by him and someone always sitting by him, if that helps!)
Elsie peeing off the side of the boat...she's quite an outdoors-girl!
Here's our cute pop-up trailer! We love it!
We babysat our friends' dogs while they were on vacation. The littlest one is named Sophie, so our Sophie has always had a special bond with her. Elsie is walking Bubba. They are the perfect sized dogs for the girls!
Elsie's new thing is to put her hand on her back (as you'll see in the picture). I think I must do this, so that's why she's starting doing it. Pretty cute!
