Gonna Take a Walk Outside Today

Ethan’s been singing the Milo and Otis theme song for DAYS.ON.END. (hence the title of this post). We took many a walks outside this weekend while camping, which included the usual and unusual conversations and play and laughter around meals and bonfires (including one very, very huge one) with old friends and new friends, lots of meals, trails, and even an amazing puppet show (courtesy of Heath, of course) and a tour of a farmhouse/museum (way to slide some “unschooling” in there!).

We are all pretty exhausted (WHAT? You mean I didn’t sleep that well in a cold tent with a deflating queen sized air mattress squished between a 4 year old and a nursing infant and a snoring husband who weighs more than the 3 of us combined so we roll towards his side the whole night??? Didn’t those EAR PLUGS WORK? Ya don’t say?!)

Pictures tell the rest:

Okay, this first one is from the night before camping but isn’t she too cute always sticking her tongue out?

Here we go now with the camping:

Raise your hand if you’re the one who ate all the blackberries!

My friend Katie was my angel helping entertain baby while I cooked!

This is my favorite picture of the shadow puppet show, Ethan with buds William and Brianna. (Can you guess the story? Where the Wild Things Are!) Below is a slideshow with more pics from the puppet theatre and massive bonfire.
