Camping Part 2

The first time we went camping, it didn't turn out quite how we expected. I'm glad we made a second attempt, and took Violet out into the wilderness one more time! We went to Laurance Lake near Mt. Hood, she went on her first canoe ride, and caught her first fish (well, she slept through the fish part)
All in all she did really well, and I think we can say that we will be camping more often now! As you can imagine Randy is quite happy about that.
Here she is in her new life-vest that Grandma DeGroot bought her. Right after we took this picture she fell backward and couldn't move... not a pretty site, it reminded me of a bug stuck on it's back.

See the teeth?

This is Randy fly-fishing at dusk, Violet is sound alseep in her carrier on his chest, and yes Randy did catch some fish.

It was a bit chilly the next morning, so Violet is a little bundled up here (what's up with all the purple/violet mom?) See that chair? The best $20 I spent in a long time, it's traveled all over. She loves to sit in it, and it washes up fantastically.
Violet in her very own camping chair (thanks Nana Lulu) doing her new favorite thing. Drawing. She loves to also draw all over herself, so she must be watched very closely now.
