Camp out

William was thrilled to be invited to camp out with Kaye and Scott at whitewater state park this week in their camper. (Amelia was invited also, but I made the executive decision that very day that you need to be 5 to spend the night away from mama because I didn't want to drive and pick her up at midnight).

Kaye sent me some great pictures of William camping. The first words out William's mouth were: "where's Scott?"

He is Scott's little shadow, which I think (I hope) both enjoy. Scott, among other things had promised to take William fishing for his breakfast in the morning.

William was disappointed he didn't catch anything, but was thrilled when Scott offered to share his catch. William was ALL about eating the fish and talked it up a great deal. Until the fish hit the table. Then he decided he only liked fish that look like chicken nuggets. (Full disclosure: we don't eat fish at our house. At all. Ever. So, I'm not sure how he arrived at this conclusion.).

William settled on a sparse breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast and fruit. Possibly banana bread? From his telling he ate a whole pile of food.

After breakfast, everyone went for a hike. A hike in which William ended up building dams in the creek with Cece the dog looking on.

It is no surprise that he crashed hard when they brought him back to town!

A big thank you to Scott and Kaye for giving our big guy an awesome camping experience!!
