Jacob's First Camping Trip

 

The wonderful thing about new experiences is that in the complicated equation of life, new experiences let us start to establish and sort out the knowns and unknowns. On our first camping trip, Jacob, we can do just that.

Good to know...

1. On Labor Day weekend there is always camping.
2. It will rain. Sometimes it is a dry rain, sometimes it isn't... but rest assured it will rain.
3. It is very likely hiking will be involved. It is very unlikely that we will stay on marked trails for said hike. We should explain to you though that our track record is pretty good. We've been hiking with this approach for many years and have always managed to make it back to camp in time to cook a big yummy dinner (just some occasions we eat later than others depending on the 'short cut' we took).
4. It is also likely boating will be involved but this is dependent on the severity of the rain situation. This year, no boating. Next year, expect to have a life jacket on.
5. A tradition of friends determined to be around a campfire this one time a year to tell stories, catch up, enjoy the outdoors, and see each others families grow up ....is a bless'ed thing and worth every pair of soggy socks.

On Jacob's first camping trip he saw a lot of firsts. He loved it. And so did we. Lots of fun and cuddles and love from friends who have been cheering for the little man from afar and got to squeeze his cheeks for the first time in person.

Hiking venture in a jazzy rig on Dad's back. Wicked.

 

Cheers until next labor day weekend!
