We did a small garden just to try it and thanks to some good starts our garden did better than expected. For me, to grow anything is an accomplishment. Kimee loved it too and would wake up to find me out there picking weeds or watering. She loved to see what was new and ready to pick each day. It was a great learning experience for Kimee. I told her we could only pick the ripe ones, that meant soft and red for tomatoes. Then a few weeks later, she came me with an Otterpop and said Mom, I think my Otterpop is ripe.. and I didn't think I heard her right so I asked her what she said.. She repeated, My Otterpop is ripe because it is soft. Then I got it... Of course, if a tomato can be ripe and soft why can't an Otterpop?
Here is our small garden and some of the first fruits.
Kimee showing off a pepper. Yes, still in her PJs. Kimee had to have a tomoto her size, hence the smallest tomoto.
We decided to try and go camping at least once this summer.
We went up to Spanish Oaks and it "seemed" like a good idea and the perfect spot.
It was by water for the kids to swim, close to restrooms, etc. The tent site was small but at least we had room to put the tent. What we didn't plan on was the wind blowing all night and suddenly our tent became a wind tunnel.. It did stay standing amazingly. The kids did pretty well but Carl and I didn't get any sleep. It was a long night. Luckily, it wasn't cold and it didn't rain.
The evening before the wind picked up was great. Carl introduced Kimee
to smores..
Not sure by these faces if she liked them or not.. she said she did.

Poor Ethan, didn't get a nap and since there was no place for
him to crawl around he had to spend most of his time in
the backpack. More pics come of Ethan and Kimee..
