June and July Adventures

So we decided to try camping for Memorial Day weekend, which despite the intense humidity, started out great with tin foil dinners and s'mores with friends, in a beautiful, lush campsite. Unfortunately it ended with us (already in bed) packing up just after midnight due to a surprise thunderstorm rolling in. So we only got a couple pics at the campsite, but came back the next morning for swimming in the lake at the same park. It was a bit of a long  night and quite the adventure, but makes for a fun memory.
We think we'll stick with only camping during early spring or late fall here in Louisiana from now on to avoid the hot, humid nights.

   

  

Nate had his quarter break during this time, so we went to the zoo in Monroe and Abby loved it. We also had a big bbq with friends, spent a morning picking blueberries, and we planted a garden!! More than anything though, we just enjoyed getting Nate to ourselves for a couple weeks. School takes him away from us wayyy too much!!!

 

 

 

 We're pretty sure Abby ate more than she picked, but she loved it!

 

During our blueberry-picking adventure, our camera decided to take its last pic, so we had a very early Christmas in July, and have obviously taken Plenty of pictures with it.
The following pics are of typical moments in our daily life :
