it was the weekend and we wanted to take van camping for the first time. i packed his lumberjack jammies, hat, flannel, and tevas to start things out right. we made a couple stops for van man before finding our camp spot, and by the time we should have been setting up camp it got dark. our plans (or lack of plans) quickly changed to parking in my family cabin's yard and calling it home for the night.
we pitched a fire and watched van's eyes light up as he stared into the flames. i bundled him up in a blanket and held him close. jimmy sat at a distance looking like a creepy ghost in the moonlight while drew teased me about forgetting to pack s'mores. before too long we crawled into our family size sleeping bag and slept in the vanagon to keep warm.
it was a long night. van woke up every two hours for milk and maybe some comfort, while i tried my best to not be afraid of the open windows surrounding us. the next morning we both were a bit groggy. our plan for a family hike died quickly so we opted for fishing instead. by afternoon we were back home wishing the weekend didn't have to end.
What a cute family! Sounds like a cool trip. And now I kind of want a monkey hat.
ReplyDeletelook at you, getting fancy with your words! love.
ReplyDeleteand meg, that first photo literally stole my heart. TO DIE FOR! i can't handle those blue eyes! sooo cute. you guys need to camp at tripod meadows, that's before the cabin. i think it's cute you always end up in the cabin yard. that's kinda sweet. i can't wait to get a vw bus! sounds like the night was long/miserable haha...i bet you were a zombie. i would've pictured red eyes in the window and had a small panic attack haha
ps i love that drew got a matching haircut like spence - he looks good
Deletefancy with my words? we did drive through tripod meadows but everything was still snowy and swampy, and the camp spots along the river were closed. we will definitely go back this summer and hike down to blue lake :) and yea, it's so nice having the cabin- i love it! i want to just stay in there one of these days, haha. and yes, i need curtains pronto! totally creepy. drew is always changing his hair it is exciting to see what he'll do next!
Deleteya get curtains meg! and stay in the cabin, what the heck why aren't you? TALK TO GRANDPA or bridger!
Deleteour van doesn't have things to install curtains so i have to figure that out. and i just found out where the spare key is and have to get permission from the grandparents to stay in the cabin!
DeleteWOW all the deer how cool! GOSH I LOVE VAN he is so cute i can hardly take it. love the cmaping pics and the van still looks awesome, i love moonrise! drew looks handsome, i love his buzz!
ReplyDeleteps sounds like the perfect weekend! and i talked to grandpa, and he said you guys should let the neighbors know what car you drive (the bus) and when you are there so they dont call the cops on you guys haha! cause they watch the cabin for grandpa. just a thought for future! LOVE YOU!
Deletehaha. i wondered that. we talked to them and they said it's fine. rosie doesn't seem to mind us and chase and meg were friends with her! i'm hoping she made the connection!
DeleteI'm a really big fan of your tiny baby in flannel. :)
