Time now for some catching up though:
What an amazing camping trip we had with Noah! Amazing that our tent didn't leak more than it did, and amazing that Noah seemed oblivious to the fact that you aren't supposed to have fun when you're camping in the rain. Pictorial proof from our short trip to South Whidbey State Park bears conclusive witness:
There he is, cheerfully eating carrots while his Mom and Dad made glib observations like "Wow, look at the size of that SLUG!!"
Thankfully, the rain did stop for a bit...and we got a chance to look around. It really is a nice campground, and we all found ourselves enjoying the overall experience. And the sun DID come out finally --I kid you not--as we were loading our final bags into the Subaru for the trip home. Noah was looking forward to the ride on the ferry but this happened:
He slept through the ride, woke up as we were driving through Edmonds and demanded, sleepily, when we were going to get on the ferry. When we explained what happened, he didn't believe us at first, and then burst into tears that were, thankfully, short-lived.
Jon and Krista's must-have list for camping with a 3-year old in rainy weather:
1. Mostly waterproof tent
2. Marshmallows
We call them "the two essentials."
