we went camping

and this little lady was COVERED in dirt the entire time.  

 our campground was near the water and we had fun playing on the beach.

 these two are super cute - most of the time.  some sleep deprivation was experienced and the consequences were disappointing but overall their cuteness shone.  

 sam was almost constantly on her bike!

 just lookin' around.  (i think they look like tim here - or maybe they do all the time and this highlights it...)

 20 weeks - don't worry i am much bigger now.  (this was not taken during the camping trip).

 a few things we learned: 1. old camp stoves can be hard to figure out and sometimes cause big flames.  2. two nights camping is just right.  3. the girls can spend a lot of time looking at slugs, gross.  4. we like camping with our girls.  5. and we love the tent we were given for Christmas (and apparently rei has sold many of these same tents, as most people in the campground seemed to have some version of it).
