Maiden Voyage

Dan and I took some time for a much needed trip to the woods. We were invited to a party/campout at a good friend's cabin. He has tons of acreage, so we brought our tent. It was the first time we've spent the night in it. Previously we'd only set it up in the backyard and the living room!
Here's a little self-portrait taken beside our campsite.
This is our friend Dave entertaining the crowd with his musical stylings. He was also our host for the evening.

Joe was a little too young to attend the campout this time, but we'll take him next year for sure. However, we are planning on taking him camping with just us as soon as school is out. Now if I can just find an itty bitty sleeping bag...

Wordless Wednesday

Easter Fun

Here is Joe when he found his Easter basket. Once he saw it, he ran straight to it. I just loved his Easter outfit this year, and by golly, pouring rain or not, we were wearing it to church!!!
Even though we had to hunt eggs inside, it was still so awesome watching him when he finally saw the eggs. I had to "help" him find their general locale, but then he did the actual finding!

After church (and a quick change of clothes), we went to MeMaw's. The Easter bunny had also visited there, and Joe was happy to find some "bish" in his basket.
At our 3rd stop, Mimi's house, that busy bunny had been there, too! Joe received a carrot golf club, harmonica and a bird whistle. I had to snap a quick picture of him in these bunny ears. He is my biggest blessing!

Mother's Little Helper

Joe and I had some fun filling the feeders today. The weather turned beautiful for a change. I didn't think he'd want to carry the feeder all the way across the yard, but he managed pretty well. It only ended up slightly less full than when we started! My boy sure does love being outside. He has just started going to the door and saying "side! side!" And, all heck breaks loose if he sees either Dan or I go outside without him. We have resorted to sneaking outside while he's in the other room!!!
