Like last August, we went camping with our friends Peter, Christa & Holly. The girls were mobile this year, which made it so much more fun!
Helena & Holly loved seeing all the animals. In the above they're watching a caterpillar walk on the tent. Overall, Helena accidentally crunched two caterpillars with her loving touches, kissed one right on its back without killing it, and got one to hold on so tight to her finger that I had a hard time getting it off!
The other major animal sighting was a frog. It immediately hopped under
a car, but the girls continued to observe it for a very long time.
The beach is the big draw at Presqu'ile. The guys played frisbee for so long that John got a blister!
The beaches have a beautiful white sand but our campsite was near a rocky beach, so we also spent time throwing rocks into Lake Ontario.
One evening John cooked hobos and corn on the cob over the fire. Best meal of the trip!
Thanks for the hobo addition, Erinn - the sweet potatoes were excellent!
One morning we went on the Marsh Boardwalk, which completely surpassed all our expectations. It was beautiful and 100% not buggy.
One afternoon Helena danced and ran around with her shadow. It was so much fun to watch.
Helena & Holly seemed to decide the front door to our tent was a makeshift couch for the camping trip. They'd be running around playing and then both decide to go plop themselves down at the door, sit and play for awhile, and then get back up to run around some more. This happened over and over and over again.
Every morning Helena would wake up with a huge smile on her face. John & I loved being outside of the city where we could hear the leaves rustling, the waves hitting the shore, the birds singing, but even more we loved seeing Helena enjoy the outdoors so much.
