Over the River...

and through the woods to Tegan's first camping experience they went (they = Brendan, Tegan and T's Godfather/Brendan's cousin Jeff) Enjoy the pics - I'll add what I remember of Tegan's commentary on each photo :)

"That's Tegan going camping yesterday"

Mom/Me: Tegan, what's that on your back?
Tegan: That's Tegan wearing a backpack!

"That's Tegan going down the stairs" Mom/Me: Oooh, what are you doing here, Tegan?
Tegan: I'm eating a CRACKER! Mmmmm!
Tegan: That's Tengan doing the tent.
(yes, sometimes he calls himself Tengan with an extra 'n' - too cute)
Mom/Me: You mean zipping the zipper on the tent?
Tegan: Yes, doing the zipper.
That's Jeff!
Mom/Me: Whoa, Tegan, what are you doing in this picture?
Tegan: I'm cooking the hot dog in the fire. Very hot, Mommy!
" Mmmmm! That's Tegan eating the hot dog"
Note: According to Brendan, Tegan ate 2 hot dogs with ketchup, 1 brat on a bun, some graham crackers and several marshmallows and however many cheese sticks Brendan took. And I'm pretty sure that sippy of juice was straight juice, not the 1/2 juice 1/2 water we usually give him. Needless to say, Daddy/Brendan says he was pretty wired for the night. HA!
"That's fire mommy. Very, very HOT!"
"That's Tegan sitting with Daddy"
Based on this photo, I have a feeling the conversation was very intense :) Upon seeing this picture, Tegan just started laughing really hard :)
Mom/Me: Wow Tegan, what's that pretty thing in the sky?
Tegan: That's a RAINbow! Whoooooa! So per-itty!
"Haha, I'm running!"
Mom/Me: Tegan, what did you get to eat for breakfast?
Tegan: PAMPAKES! Mmmmmm!
Mom/me: Are you wearing your fleece AND your swim-trunks?
Tegan: Yeah, but not my Nemo diaper, just my OTHER one.
(Nemo diapers are his swim diapers)
"That's me in the stroller. It's time to go home now"
(after all that he finally referred to himself in the first person, ha!)

Apparently the boys went to bed around 9:30 or 10pm and then T was up with the sun at 6 or 6:30 and announced it was "time to go home now". They arrived home around 11 and word is that Tegan slept in the car the whole way home (about an hour drive). I wish I could have been a fly on the tree, but I also enjoyed MY time alone and even went to Uptown with some long-time friends for a few hours. Needless to say, I'm pretty sure a good time was had by all.
Love to all,
