Camping with Big Girls!

Last weekend we went camping with friends from Iowa at Governor Dodge State Park. Aubrey got lots of attention from her friends Shennah (7), Josie (5), and Lily (3). The best way to describe the weekend is to say that Aubrey had so much fun that naps each day began with many tears.

Always busy with so much to do.

All of the Girls.

Week of Travel

T spent the entire first week in August up north, training field technicians on trapping techniques for small mammals and missing Aubrey. Night 1 away was not so bad. Night 2 away and Aubrey decides that if she has to be a big girl and go to sleep without T than she is going to be a big girl and sleep in a big girl bed. C accommodates by dragging the bed upstairs. Night 3 away and T is seriously considering driving the five hours home. Nights 4 and 5 away and C simply says... I survived. Night 6 away and Aubrey, C, Gramma Trouble and Papa J head to the cabin and T joins late that night. Wow what a week! But it ends with a weekend at the cabin, where there was lots of...

swimming,

boating,

and fun at the lake.
