2nd Annual Camping Trip

Oct. 10-12th in Devil's Lake:

Eric and I were excited to take our second camping trip together over Columbus Day weekend. Talissyn and Tyson were supposed to join us, but due to sickness, they weren't able to join us. After the weather, I'm sure they were glad to be back in their own beds.

This year was quite different than last year. We were in shorts and short sleeved t-shirts. This year, we were completely bundled up in Winter gear. :) Welcome to the unpredictable mid-west. Instead of Michigan, we headed up Wisconsin.

Not the best picture to start out with, but it does show how cold it was. Our oil for cooking turned from a liquid to a solid. :) (I look tired as this was the second morning of our trip.)

Eric doing a great job cooking bacon to go with the pancakes I would make. Look at the roaring fire! All Eric's doing!!

Our little tent. We'll have to get a babysitter next year if we want to go camping. Our little buddy won't fit in here. :)

This was during our short hike around Devil's Lake. There were tons of rocks in this area from a "rock avalanche" many, many years ago.

As you can see, it was quite cold during our time there. Highs: 40* Lows: 25*

If I might say so myself, I think this is a studly picture of Eric!

Before we headed to the campsite, we stopped at a Pumpkin Patch. What an experience! They not only had pumpkins but a whole animal farm - INCLUDING GIRAFFES!! My favorite!!

Eric enjoyed feeding all the goats. He even made sure the littlest one got some food. :)

Look at our Little One!

While these pictures are from about 4 weeks ago, I still love being able to see our little guy. Speaking of which, we're having a boy!! And over the last couple of weeks, he has been much more active than ever before. The other day Eric and I both had our hands on my belly, and we both felt him moving. It's quite funny to see Eric's eyes get really big when the baby kicks (or hits or pushes).

I hope to update very soon...it has been too long. However, I was able to easily upload the pictures from my camera. These pictures are from weeks 21 and 22.  :)  People are telling me that I now look pregnant.  :)
