Camping

Here are some pictures from our first camping trip. It was a wonderful time and we can't wait to go again! Maybe next time I'll take more pictures! :)

 

 

 

 

A Frame Goebel

Derek has given our little one the nickname "A Frame". Yes, it is admittedly lame, but seriously, look at this kid!

 

He's such a silly one. I think he'll be tumbling before he's crawling!

Not Me Monday

Okay, I'm jumping on the MckMama bandwagon this week because oh have I got some "Not Me's" for you! And yes, they are all about our trip!

First of all, I did NOT go on my first camping trip (that I remember) at the age of 25 years old! I mean certainly, as much as I love to be outside, I camped every weekend growing up, right?

On said camping excursion, Derek and I did not walk 2 miles to get to a playground only to get 1.5 miles in a find a post that said "Powhatan Trail, .5 miles to camp site 1-67" knowing we were staying at site 37. We would have NEVER walked so far without knowing how to read their maps!! (also only to find out there are NO swings at said playground for Wesley to play in!!

And on this 2.5 mile hike into the woods, I would NEVER wear completely inappropriate socks! I KNOW that if you're going for a long walk like that you should wear the right socks because if not you MAY end up with blisters on maybe your heal and quite possibly a toe. But that's not speaking from experience, I would NEVER wear the wrong socks because certainly if I did I would walk around the rest of the day with one shoe on and one off because it hurt too much to wear the other!

And on our first night, knowing that we are expert campers and we know better, we would have NEVER left out our dogs food for some wild animal to come and enjoy while we were fast asleep listening to him munch!

No, I'd never do any of these things because I am an EXPERT camper and know so much better than to make all of these rookie mistakes!! :)

Mendy needs:

This is a quick blog about me...because they've all been surrounding Wesley since March 27, much like my life. But this was just something fun I thought I could do quickly. I googled "Mendy needs" and know I'm going to blog my top favorites. Mind you, apparently there is or was a football player with the last name Mendy, so I skipped most of his entries because they were all silly. So here goes.

Mendy needs:

1. a nap (I take a nap about once a day, and figure that's probably why I can't sleep at night!)

2. a break (from what, I don't know...but I take breaks when I need them.)

3. more touches: (not so much [pretty sure this is one of those football references])

4. to go back in hibernation (apparently this thing is figuring out how much I like to sleep!)

5. to know if Sue wears a thong. (This one was just funny so I needed it to be here!)

6. to apologize (maybe to someone out there...but not the situation I'm thinking of!)

7. to be Mend-ed (clever, no?)

8. to get a blog too! (hmmmmm, sure I guess)

9. to improver her attitude. (always)

10. to make significant improvements. (again, always)

Okay, that's it...that's all "Mendy needs" according to google. Minus the other football references...but in my opinion, I need a lot more than that. But for today, I have a lunch date with a girl I met last week and 2 of her 3 sons. We're going to Chickfila because they have a play area...man, I feel like I never left St. Marys! Don't you mothers with kids that run around have anywhere else you like to eat!? :) Only kidding...today's going to be a great day!
