Now the kids are in bed, the camping stuff is unpacked, the laundry is going, and I should be showering but instead I am blogging. Dumb dumb dumbity dumb.
The hammocks were a hit with the kids, as always, and featured prominently in photo shoots.
Blueberry enjoyed swinging with her friends, whose pseudonyms escape me.

Yay! What a great trip and it's so fun to read the post-camping blog post. Hope you are showered and clean now - and that you had a good night's sleep. xoKate
Yay camping!! We had a great time with you guys. I asked Fiona what she liked the best about camping and she said it was the rain. Very exciting!
I just got back from a camping trip myself. All the wet and dirty gear is still in the bags and what am I doing? Reading your blog. The mess can wait til tomorrow. But I admit I did have a shower already. Love the pics! Your kids are adorable!
I am curious about the wine in the shower. Sounds like my kind of camping. The kid and I will start camping this summer - cabin - and be in a tent by fall. I will see if I can incorporate the wine in ths shower. Did I mesread that? And yes, the kids are adorable. tdenom tComit
I think a log of bloggers would agree that often blogging beats showering.
Blueberry always seems happy hanging around with her friends . . . (pun intended)
luv always
Amacrine, re: wine in the shower. Saturday night I indulged in a rare glass of wine. As soon as I took the first sip, I realized that I really really wanted a shower (oh the filth of camping with babies) and the kids weren't needing me at the moment. But alas, my wine! Surely an inchworm or similar will land in it if I leave it! As I writhed in agony on the ground over this dilemma, Lucy told me to take my wine to the shower. It then dawned on me that there is no reason one can't bring wine to the shower. And now I can highly recommend it. A tip: set your cup somewhere out of reach of water droplets. Or don't! Who cares??
