We’ve been gone for a few days…
We joined some other couples-with-babies friends of ours for a trip to eastern NC. We stayed one night at a B&B and then hopped in some canoes and paddled down a river. We stopped for the night to camp on a platform in the middle of a marsh. Then paddled out the next day! K absolutely loved it. She is normally a happy child, but she couldn’t wipe the smile off of her face the whole weekend! It was a blast! Toby and I have made a promise to try to go camping at least once a month (even if it is just camping out on our land). When we were in the marsh, there were so many Barred owls that I couldn’t sleep. One or two would ‘hoo’ and then the whole lot of them would sound off (courting, I guess). It sounded like a pack of orangutans!! Seriously! At one point, K woke up and in her sleepy stupor said “hoo-hoo. Cock-a-doo” and then fell back to sleep. 🙂
Sounds like you had fun !…Too bad about the owls keeping you up..We once went camping and the grounds had peacocks,well they were very loud all night…but it was still fun to get away 🙂
What a fun trip!!! Gwen just loves it when we take naps outside or lay out to watch the stars and she falls asleep. I’ve only camped with her a few times, and it was when Doug was deployed and she was less than a year old. But we’ve been talking about it a lot!
