Well, we're back! We are glad we escaped the mayhem in town yesterday, though camping with a toddler isn't exactly the most relaxing of ventures! Especially a toddler that has several teeth coming in and decided that she didn't need a 4th of July nap! But we did get to check out a new area and that was nice, and other than isa's bedtime protests, it was very, very quiet. It was also a really nice break from the heat and we didn't even get carried away by mosquitos. There were some, but considering it's July they were not as bas as they could be. Isa enjoyed pointing all of them out ("skitos!") this morning as we laid in the mosquito-free tent. She also enjoyed playing "follow the leader" on the trail (she was the leader), smelling all the flowers, and building little rock towers around camp.

So glad you are all back safe and sound. Unfortunately, nothing with a toddler is as easy as when they
can't maneuver around everywhere. I know it was nice, however, just to have such a beautiful change of scenery...is that lavender growing
right by the tent? Good thing is, today is Saturday and the weekend isn't over yet. Love you all.
