Camping Trip

For the August long weekend we went camping with friends. J & L were nice enough to go out a couple of nights early to set up a tent to ensure that we would have spot! Its a good thing too because the campground was completely full! I wasn't really thinking when I got Mr O dressed for camping - camo on a 2 year old in the bush is probably not the most intelligent choice! Bright colors, bright colors, bright colors - I will remember for next time. Luckily it wasn't an issue!
E is Mr O's best bud - they have been friends since they were like 3 or 4 months old. They play really well together and Jenn and I only have to referee occasionally (they are 2 after all). E is very particular about certain things. He always wanted his little blanket on the ground for him to play on but then he would lie next to it! Poor E did a spectacular face plant into the gravel (Mr O was innocent Yay!). I didn't get a picture of his poor little face with his scratched up nose and lip but he was looking a little rough. Thank God he didn't break any teeth.
The babies were so cute, as always. They liked to just sit and look at each other. J keeps saying they are going to get married ... maybe shes right. lol. Lil Miss A can sit all by herself - she is so talented. Baby K can't yet so he got the Bumbo for the camping trip. The older boys kept on fighting over the babies. At first the babes liked the attention but when it turned into baby tug of war they were less than enthused.

J brought stickers out for the boys to play with. A note to all of you parents out there - don't let your kids do this with stickers, yes it looks cute but the longer they stay on the harder they are to get off. Poor Mr O had blotchy red arms & face for a couple of hours.

It was a wicked trip and I think everyone had lots of fun. I know I did!

We had tonnes of fun!!!! On a special note, I think the problem was that the stickers were cheap stickers from the eighties...

Ada misses her boyfriend....or should I say fiance.....
