Canceled Plans

We originally had a big camping trip planned for this weekend with our good friends (Buddy's godparents).  We started our camping tradition with Tom and Hillari about 4 years ago.  On our first trip, we went "real" camping where we had to hike 5 miles into the site.  For one reason or another, we have not been able to go the last 2 years.  But, we were planning to go this year with 3 kids (and another on the way!).  Unfortunately, the government shutdown spoiled our plans.  On the other hand, the temps were over 100 this weekend and it was so humid, we would have had a terrible time.  Regardless, we'll go try again next year.

We spent the day with our friends at the park.  We met in the morning and played at the new playground. 

We had a picnic lunch and then spent the rest of the afternoon at the beach.



Buddy fell asleep right when we got to the beach. 
He slept on the shore while we swam nearby. 

 

On Sunday, Punky made a #2 in the potty.  She got to pick out her very own Littlest Pet Shop, just like her cousin's.  We were so proud of her.  Hopefully, we made a big enough deal out of it and she'll keep on doing it.
