Camping Weekend!

Last weekend, Matt and I took Tally on his first camping trip! Ironically, it was our first trip since high school- haha. I would say I'm more of a cabin-camper, if you will. Or a lodge-camper, or even a resort-camper (do they have those?). I was not entirely sure how much I would enjoy the no-running-water, cook-your-food-over-the-campfire, and tinkle-on-the-ground kind of camping. But I have to say, we had a BALL! Matt and I were already planning our next visit while we were there.

We went with my mom, sister, brother--in-law, and our two nephews. Everybody had a great time- espcially Tally! Little buddy was overwhelmed with excitement over all of the new sights and smells to explore and experienced his first full-body dive in the river (which I'm pretty sure was not intentional after observing how he approached the water every time after that). Here are two-hundred some pictures from the trip!

Snuggles with Nonna- buddy loves the car

testing the water...

I don't think he realized that he would go all the way under when he jumped in to play with the boys! Poor guy!

He retreated to his safe place- under the car ;)

"helping" set up the tents

Quick snooze ;)

Our make-shift leash since he couldn't get in the water while the boys were fishing

Maddox taking Tally on a walk ;)

After his dive-in incident, he was very careful when he entered the water ;)

Love this :)

This was hilarious- he got so brave and started running laps up the hill, would roll down the hill, run around my sister, and then start over again. Too funny!

Here's the roll down the hill! hahah- buddy was having a ball

And then he crashed the second he saw Matt sit down.

Like passed out.

So Matt carried him back to the car.

And he fell asleep in his arms.

Sweet buddy. :)

What is that smell, mama?

Our "room" for the night!

Noah helped catch our dinner!

And then he snapped some posed pictures ;) He's quite the photographer! 

He took this one too... Maddox posed for him. ;)

Manning the grill! Such a big boy!

Lemon Pepper Trout

First time trying freshly caught fish- so adventurous, haha

Digging holes- something he doesn't get to do in our backyard

Love that face

Cooking eggs in the morning- Tally wanted to help... or just eat the food. ;)

I'm so glad we got to go! We had such a great time and were so happy that Tally was so well!

Don't forget- today is the LAST day to enter Anna's giveaway! I'm thrilled to see how many people have visited the post to read about Anna's story! Last time I checked, it had been read over 400 times! I really want Anna's story to get as much attention as possible- right now they're raising money for the final attorney fees, M's passport, and the flights to get to Uganda- Will you consider spreading the word by sharing the post on your FB or Twitter accounts? Every single dollar she raises through her product sales goes toward bringing M home!

Remember, if you want to enter the giveaway, you have to leave a comment- you have three possible entries to win one of Anna's body butters (which are AMAZING!). If you don't leave a comment, you won't have an entry! The winner will be announced tomorrow. :)

Have a great day!
