Eloise has been cruising the furniture and walls for quite some time now. She has finally gained the self confidence and is now walking more than crawling. She is walking from room to room just for the fun of it. Outside is a different story. She still prefers crawling, especially through the mud. I should have taken some muddy pictures of her this weekend, but for some reason I think I'll get another chance tomorrow.

That's Amelia
Mom: is it the towel?
Amelia: no
Mom: is it the rug?
Amelia: no
Mom: is it your dress?
Amelia: no
Mom: is it the tiles
Amelia: no
Mom: Honey I give up. I've guessed everything that's green in the bathroom
Amelia: it was the wall
Mom: Amelia the wall is blue
Amelia: well, I'm pretending it's green

Camping 2011
Packing the van was a work of art.
There was a playground not too far from our camp site.
Amelia passed out at the beach
The water was freezing. That's all the further Eloise went in.
We found a mama turtle laying her eggs at our campsite. That was really cool and a good hour of entertainment.
The kids eating banana muffins in our tent at 6 am.
Amelia flying on the parachute.
Oliver's turn
Eloise playing in Grace's tent while we packed up ours.
We went camping at Rice Creek Chain of Lakes park in Centerville. It was a short drive, but it still felt like we were in the wilderness. There were 9 couples and 10 kids total. Oliver and Amelia loved playing with the other kids and Tim and I got a chance to hang out with our friends. My parents bought their boat on Saturday so we got a chance to watch a few brave soles wakeboard and water ski- the water was freezing. It was an exhausting weekend but well worth it. Thanks friends and family. There were a lot of great memories created in those few short days. Till next year.
