Camping

We just returned from a camping trip in Canada. This was our first camping experience with Timothy. We had a few reservations about how he would do--mostly in regard to sleeping in a tent. We knew he would love being outside all day! He did really well if you ignore the fact that the first morning he woke up at 4:40 am! (He took a short nap in my arms from 6:30-7 am.)
Of course we wanted him to try all the thrills of camping including his first taste of S'mores. He seemed to like them, although he preferred his S'more without the marshmallow.

I think the marshmallow made it all a bit to sticky for him. He kept wanting me to wipe his fingers clean.

We were staying at Lake Winnipeg. It was a beautiful lake, but our first morning was rather rainy. It didn't bother Timothy. He enjoyed roaming the wet shore in his water shoes and digging in the sand.

The afternoon cleared up so we did a little sandcastle building. Timothy really enjoyed smashing the castles.

Timothy stopped for a moment to watch the waves beating upon the shore.

Eventually Timothy ventured out into the water. He giggle every time the waves crashed on his waves. Despite his delight, he was a little afraid too and kept a strong grip on his daddy's hand. he also kept pulling Troy deeper into the water.

We also spent some time in Winnipeg. We visited the children's museum and the zoo.
