Camping

Dan had spring break this last week, and Savannah has been dying to roast marshmallows, and so we took a few days and went camping. It has been so nice outside and so we just went to a state park about 10 minutes away. We were able to do a few things and just have a good time being together and outside. Savannah is a natural camper and loved camping. She had a hard time when the tent was coming down and wanted to continue camping. It's nice that she likes it and so we hope that we can go a few more times before the baby comes.


This first picture is Dan and Savannah on our canoe. We were able to go out on their small lake and canoe around looking for animals. Savannah wanted to see lions and kangaroos, but we told her that was probably not possible:) Thanks to Dan's good eyes we were able to see a beaver dam and baby turtles.


This is Savannah rowing by herself. She likes to do everything by herself, and she kept moving around the boat, which was scaring me because the canoe was a bit wobbly, and I didn't want to fall in.

Here is our lovely campsite. Savannah is playing in the tent and Dan is figuring out our lantern. It was not very busy and nice to have it so quite.

Here we are roasting marshmallows. Savannah loved it, but was somewhat wary to do it herself.

Here is the sticky girl herself. She had to have had eight or nine marshmallows at least and kept asking for more.

The next morning Dan and Savannah got out of the tent to make our warm fire. It was very nice during the day, but at night it got cold! It was so nice to have a roaring fire to come out to.

Breakfast.

We took a hike around the lake and surrounding woods. Here is a little waterfall that Dan and Savannah liked to put sticks and pine cones in to see if they went all the way down. She is definitely a little outdoors girl. We had so much fun and didn't really want to leave, but didn't want to spend another cold night out and so we did leave.
