Camping

We went camping overnight at a forest service cabin

We needed tents too

It was hot, the kids waded in the cold stream

Even Helen tried!

 

 

Glasses

 Helen took off her glasses on a stroller ride and threw them in the road and they got hit by a car so we had to get new ones. They had red in stock so that’s what we got. I also got smart and put a strap that hooks on. She is NOT PLEASED.

“Wait, what??”

Noooooooo

Strawberry

Oh man does she like chewing a strawberry
