No campfire means that it is really dark by 8:45 pm
so we made our own lanterns with a flashlight
and empty clear water containers
light enough to see our card game
Fishing on Saturday
Me and Mr.Mr.
J-Man and I-Man trying to catch one last fish
Mr. Mr. had enough and took a nap on my lap in the shade
so did Bouba.
We had three days and three nights of adventure.
Record fun for all.
How fun! Did you take them on that adventure on your own or was your hubby able to come along too? You are such a fun mom for doing all of these great things with your kids.
ReplyDeleteI took them up by myself, Noure was working. We had a blast. I did take about a 4 hour nap when we came home yesterday, though.
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of you and Mr. Mr. It is great! You look SO HAPPY! Thanks for your comments about being a Mother and showing in your actions how committed you are to it. I'm glad to call you a friend. And luck too!
