Wrapping up Camping

This will be the final lot of camping pictures. I know that the kids had a wonderful time just by looking at these. I know that it probably wasn't relaxing for Travis to do all of this. Actually, I'm pretty positive it wasn't, but I personally appreciated it SO much. I haven't been alone in...I don't even remember. I slept until 8:15 the next morning, and THAT in itself was worth it all. It was amazing. I went to the store by myself. I watched TV and movies that weren't rated G or in cartoon. So, it was such a nice break for me. Travis didn't bring them home until about 4 the next afternoon. They put on a puppet show at 2 that he took them to as well.

The kids each got a pair of binoculars that Travis so smartly printed their names on. They still fight over which pair belongs to who. I think this is cute with Jaggar looking through his.

Before they left, he took them to the playground.

And they loved that, clearly.

I jokingly told Travis that they should have stayed another night. Jaggar could not have lasted. This is normal--him falling asleep in the car. It's when Travis got him OUT that we realized just how worn out he really was.

Because he couldn't wake up. Travis said, "Oh, he's up. He's up." Ha...um no. He wasn't.

So I took him upstairs and put him in his bed. And had to wake him up at 6 pm.

Here is video of the sleepy camper.

When the day was done, I thanked Travis for taking them even though I know it wasn't relaxing for him. He said, "It was fun. I got to be dad." And a good one, at that.
