Making the World Cuter: Memorial Day Weekend

For Memorial Day weekend-my family and their friends all went camping at Barton park.

Notice I didn't say 'we' went camping.

The idea sounded fun, until Chad reminded me that #1-I am pregnant, #2-We don't have a trailer which translates to me sleeping on the ground in a tent, and #3-We have Christopher.

It then did not sound like a good idea any longer.

So instead-we just went up both nights and visited with everyone, ate yummy camping food and had a good time after a good nights rest in our nice cozy bed without having to worry about Topher escaping in the middle of the night. The friends that they go camping with have really become like second families to us and our kids and it is going to be sad to leave them-they surprised us with a little going away party and cake on Saturday night-which was so sweet.

This is where Christopher had to spend most of his time, because the second we let him out-he was either running straight for the road or towards the trailer 4 over that had a big dog, or the trailer to the other side with the guy who had been drinking since 8 in the morning. None of which I thought was the best place for my 2 year old son. I am thinking of getting one of these for home-except I know that he would figure out how to escape all too quickly! I need a sturdy one with a lid-know of any?

This is after he got caught running away one of the times...

Then Chad took them over to the playground for a bit. Christopher loves swinging with his dad, it scares me to watch-he goes way too high and Christopher is hanging on to daddy's shirt for dear life, and just loves it. Crazy kid!
