Roasting marshmallows...yum!

One of her favorite foods!!!

Happy because I got to enjoy a quick nap in the hammock!

The chef for the trip.

Ahhh! I love camping!

The "Jumping Jack"

Look at those big smiles!

Jack went with us, too. That night it was quite cold. Karl, Sara Kate, Jack, & I all slept on the same bed. We stayed nice & cozy!

4/21/09: We went camping at DeSoto State Park over the weekend. Emily & Royal were kind enough to lend us their "Jumping Jack". (It's a cross between a pop up & a tent.) We had a wonderful time! Sara Kate is a born camper! She loves to be outside, hike, roast marshmallows, and sleep in a tent. It's all a big adventure for her! We even took a canoe ride. We were quite a sight - Karl, Jack (the 80 lb. Lab), Sara Kate, and me all in the boat floating along. Although, I have to say, it is surprising how well behaved this wild bunch is when you put us in a canoe! We had a great time. Karl, with all of his camping expertise, made it such an enjoyable trip. He had everything we needed & did all of the cooking! I even got to take a quick nap in the hammock while he took Sara Kate on a hike. It was a fun trip for everyone!
