"Camping"

Mike and I took Abby on her first "camping" trip last weekend and found out what happens when you put a city slicker in the great outdoors. Poor Mike is still struggling with a bout of poison something (ivy, sumac...we are not really sure.)

On a lighter note we all had a fantastic time. We stayed in a cabin (which is why I am keeping "camping" in quotes), cooked our food over the fire (once the guys got it going:) and floated the Meramec. Abby loved catching tadpoles and had a quite a collection going before she let them go back to their home.

And now I suppose we can call summer over. At first thought of summer ending, I was so sad. I think I am now ready to let go and watch the leaves change, pull out my long sleeves and get ready for fall.
