First Camping of 2008



A few weekends ago we went camping at Association Island near Henderson Harbor, New York. We had a fantastic time on a waterfront site, although the water (Lake Ontario) was pretty cold. We woke up the first morning to see more than a dozen geese just outside our trailer.



Emma and Big Sister sit down...at the same time!

... and hours!



What? A popsicle moustache?



Yum!



Really, there's a balance beam here somewhere...I know it!



Hey, dad, can you put one of *those* in my bucket?



Emma and Michaela discuss the finer points of a blade of grass. (If you can't get them to both look at the camera at the same time, looking at each other works!)

Phrase of the Day

Sorry folks, we've been busy and neglected to post for a while -- photos soon, promise!

This morning she walked up and proudly announced, "Big Girl Tooted!"
