Talylor Lake....almost

Ryan woke up Friday and decided to take the day of and go camping. We chose a place called Taylor Lake that some of Ryan's coworkers suggested. It was a little far for just an over-nighter and was very high (and cold), but the drive was very scenic and we found a great campsite just short of the lake. I think we'll try it again when the kids are a little older, so Ryan can actually do some fishing and Cole will sleep better. For now I think we'll just have campfires at the lake across the street and put the tent in the backyard!

mclayne isn't one for princess dress-ups or make-up, but i caught this rare moment of her being girly. i came out to find her wearing lip stick, nail polish, covered with glitter, and flipping through a blank notebook like a magazine. a sign of things to come? i don't think so. she spent the rest of the day building a trap for the snake she found in the yard and chased into our rock wall. she was "confused{convinced} it was a guard{garter} snake."




by some miracle cole escaped being made over.
