Weekend at Devil's Den

The weather was so beautiful this past weekend, we just had to go camping. Jackson had been asking about the trailer for weeks and was so excited to be able to 'help' pull it out of the backyard. He even told me Thursday night he didn't want to go to school because he wanted to go camping. Luckily Charles got Jackson off to daycare the next morning without any major issues... well, besides the normal ones anyways. :) Jackson hasn't stopped talking about the trip since we got home and keeps asking if we can go again. Hopefully we'll get lots of nice weather this spring before Brady gets here so Mommy can go too! Here are some pictures from our fun weekend at Devil's Den.

Jackson just mastered pedaling, so most of the weekend was spent riding his tricycle. He actually met a little girl named Caroline as soon as we got there and was smitten the rest of the trip. He chased her (she's 6) on his bike the entire weekend. I guess he likes the older ladies!

A camping trip wouldn't be complete without giant bubbles! Too bad this activity only lasted about 5 minutes before the bubble stuff was dumped out. Mommy will remember to bring extra next time!

Abbie thinks this is her chair, but Jackson wasn't so sure about that. Sharing is such a hard thing to learn!


Last year, they seemed to fit much better!

What better way to enjoy the weather than take the dogs for a walk? Jackson did a great job walking Snoopy... or pulling as Jackson liked to say, although Snoopy did the pulling, not Jackson!


We hiked down to the river so Jackson could throw some rocks into the water. Our hikes are getting much shorter the heavier Jackson gets. Of course, I was hiking with a lot of extra weight this time around too, so I was pretty exhausted myself! :)


This is from one of our first hikes with the backpack in the fall of 2007... oh, how Jackson has grown!

And finally... Jackson is the perfect height for this secret sliding window that he thinks was made just for him! As I'm writing this blog, Jackson is repeating "I want to go camping again" over and over, so I'm sure we'll have a lot more pictures to come!
