Listen here Rowan. Listen! Put down the remote, unplug the video games, and put the dolls away. It’s time you gain a big appreciation for the outdoors, and I don’t want to hear any whining about it ok? That’s what I thought!
This camping veteran got right to work helping Daddy haul all the gear and chow for our weekend adventure.
Brinley was supposed to help, but she was carried away in the beauty of her surroundings and opened up a wildflower florist shop instead.
What about you Ro-dog? Ah there she is, doing a great job of holding down the tarp while Daddy sets up the tent.
Rumble grumble. What’s that? Rowan’s getting hungry? Well, find a place for her to sit that’s not in the dirt and we’ll get her served up.
Let’s zoom out for a better view. That looks like the comfiest camping chair ever Rowan! And fire front property! That real estate aint cheap!
Brinley and Ana got down to business and roasted their dogs on the open fire. Notice they favored wood sticks over metal pokers for that organic smoky taste.
Lookin’ real good and burned Scoob! Maybe a bit longer in the fire and then that dog will put some hair on your chest! Arrrrrr!
Princess Brinley nibbled on her food between lengthy conversations with her entourage.
Like father like son. Drew likes fire, and efficiency! He found a perfect stick for making twice as many smores and had them cooked in half the time.
Day 2: How was your night Ro? Lookin’ good.
The lords of the (butter)flies took their spears and headed off into the forest in search of the elusive Rocky Mountain Snipe. Drew looked high. Sadie looked low…
They all looked, hunted, and tracked the best they could, but could find no sign of the fictitious animal. It doesn’t seem that Brinley was too broke up about it.
All that tree climbing and tracking gave her a nice head full of filth.
What fun is camping if you can’t get dirty?
Hey Flame Boy! We are out of firewood! Hiiiiiiiiiiiyah!
While Flame Boy chopped wood Hayden and Ana prepped for another tasty round of smores. Who knew marshmallows grew on trees?!
That mallow’s a flamin’! Tasty!
Mmmmmmmmm. So what’s the secret to getting melty chocolate?
Brinley doesn’t really like smores all that much.
Well Rowan, have you had any fun out here in the woods of Georgetown? Judging by your legs it appears that your appreciation is significant. Good work!
Unfortunately the florist had to file Chapter 11 bankruptcy. There were no more flowers to pick! Time to go home!
I love the pictures of Brinley eating the smores. Now that’s my kind of girl…afterall, that really is the best part of camping. Glad you all had fun!
Hahaha you have to show those horking pictures to her first date! So funny!
I am so jealous of your camping spot. I love the tree’s and greenery! I haven’t looked at your blog for a bit, looks like you guys have had some fun times. I remember hearing when Jenna left, I cannot believe she is already back, time flies when you don’t see people regularly. Love all the pics, your kids are so CUTE!
Good times!!
