breaking in the new camping year

We had our first camping trip of 2010 this weekend.  It was cut short due to thunder/rain and my lack of desire to pack up wet soggy gear after two nights of little sleep.  We slept one night and that was good.  2010 marks the year where Lucy become actually helpful in setting up camp!  We two were able to get the tent up much much easier then in past years when I set it up alone whilst redirecting a wayward child.  Lucy was helpful all around, it's going to be a great camping season. 

one of Lucy's new jobs is to put our card on the post.  she did great!

it wasn't long before Lucy captured a frog.  she was so excited.

this little mole would not leave us alone. he was not afraid of us and lucy was obsessed with him
