camping prep

Isabelle and I spent this evening getting our "gear" ready for our labor day camping trip Isabelle is pretty excited to camp for the first time. Hopefully all goes well, the weather is looking pretty good and the campground we are going to has a ton of activities so she will have plenty to do. I am sure I will have many more pictures to share after the trip.

Isabelle spent a lot of time "vaccuming" our tents and she was pretty excited about her fancy new head-lamp.

the penny carnival and "camping"

Last week Isabelle and I got spend almost an entire week together. We had some trying times but all together it really was a great week. We went to a park in Otsego for a penny carnival and Isabelle got to hang out with her friends Olivia, Abigail, Dane and Cash. The kids played games, won prizes and jumped in the bouncer. All of that followed by pizza for lunch...what a day.

One cheesey smile, one normal smile...

Who doesnt like PLINKO!

Ring toss...Isabelle went zero for eleven but won a lolly pop anyways...

Isabelle and I spend a fair amount of time at Cabelas. The place is basically valley fair and a zoo all wrapped in one. Every time we go we shoot at the range, eat some fudge, play some video games, check out the fish, see the animals...and now our newest activity; pretending to camp. Not as fun for me but she seems to enjoy it. She will get her first taste of real camping over the upcoming Labor Day weekend.
