An essay in pictures.
Camping 2012!
|
This kid had FUN! |
|
Cooking breakfast. |
|
Why you shouldn't use a plastic fork to stir scrambled eggs on a hot griddle. |
|
We bought "Amish eggs" and had 4 double yolkers! (this is only two of them) |
|
Daddy had his hands full... |
|
Breaking wood for the campfire. And our clothes-line. |
|
The kids set up their tents in the lean-to. They stayed very dry during the first night's thunderstorm. |
|
Each kid got a night to build the campfire. I don't remember if this was Mary's or Joseph's. She built. He just struck and dropped the match. |
|
Not all fun. Charlie wasn't happy about the requirement for shoes. |
|
Still sad about his shoes. |
|
Oops, forgot to rotate. |
|
On baby duty while Mommy packed the van and Daddy made breakfast. |
|
See how cute and respectable she looks... |
|
Blankets hide a lot. |
|
The journey home. |
|
Every one of the kids was totally zonked. |
Other stuff...
|
Neat, huh? This is CaveDigger2013X53. Nathan's entry for the Lego 2013 contest. |
|
ummm.... |
And this is the triathlon. Yes, I'm a bit behind here.
|
apprehensive? |
|
Heading over for check-in. |
|
Waiting for the shuttle to take us back to the race area. |
|
Ready to go! |
|
This is the swim track. Nathan's group followed the edge and went just outside the far buoys. Mary's stayed inside. Joseph's was only about knee high, but the full width. |
|
Can you see Nathan just getting in the water? |
|
Mary swimming. |
|
After the swim and on her way to bike portion. |
|
Joseph. He swam the whole thing, though his age group was given the option of "splash and dash." |
|
Joseph was a huge hit with his full face goggles. This local newspaper photographer snapped more pictures than Daddy! |
|
After his race was over, Nathan volunteered to hand out water to the other racers as they crossed the finish line. |
|
B/c of the way the race was structured (age groups), Joseph was the only one we got to see cross the finish line. |
|
After the race, we headed over to Gloucester to play on the coolest ever playground. I think Mary enjoyed herself. |
|
Daddy took these pictures while we were in Gloucester. I have no idea who those people are, but it's a pretty picture. |
|
And this is a little guy we found in our trashcan yesterday morning. Totally unrelated to the race, but next on the camera. : ) |
