1st Camping Trip

A few days ago our family went camping with some friends. It was Anderson's first time camping so I was a little nervous about how he would do both sleeping and entertaining himself. He did pretty well at both. He had fun playing with the flash light. He couldn't figure out how to turn it on and eventually gave up. He also enjoyed throwing rocks into the river that was behind our camping site. He would throw a rock in and then put his hands up and smile. We brought his new bike with us which he enjoyed riding down the hill and around the site.

Anderson had fun helping dad find wood to start a fire with. I don't know how much "help" he was, but he followed Josh to look for wood.

This is a good picture to give everyone an idea of how clean Anderson was the whole time we were camping. Every time we washed his face and hands, he quickly got dirty all over again. When we got home a bath was a must!

Fun Time in Tahoe!

In July we were lucky enough to go visit our good friends Shauna and Paul in Tahoe. It was a blast hanging out, watching the kids play, and swimming our days away. We were very busy in our short time there.

Since Anderson loves bikes, we rented bikes to ride around on while looking at beautiful views. It was late that day and Anderson had only a short nap that day, so of course the second we got on the bikes, he feel asleep. After an hour, we turned the bikes in. While I was paying, Josh waited with Anderson outside. The entire time I was paying, Anderson kept pointing at the bikes and pointing with a large smile on his face. The poor boy didn't even realize that we had spent the last hour on a bike.

Family photo time. With such a great background we couldn't resist the opportunity to sit and smile.

Anderson spent a lot of time putting sand into his buckets. He also enjoyed throwing rocks with his dad and mom.
