. . . in the woods. Sorry, I just couldn't resist! At the beginning of September we went camping with our friends, the Woods. They invited us up to an area a couple of hours away - 'up on the rim'. Yeah, I'm not so great with geography - - so that meant pine trees and cooler temperatures.
We enjoyed dinner (thanks Rebecca!), s'mores, chatting and of course the husband photographers had their fun as well. 
Mike and Ty both love mountain adventures as well as photography - (a previous adventure to Salome Jug can be seen here and here on their photography blogs). So naturally they played with their cameras this time around as well. Mike blogged his photos a few weeks ago, you can see them here if you want.
Annabelle always sleeps like a rock when we go camping, although I noticed this time around she seemed to talk in her sleep quite a bit. Asa slept pretty well until about 4:30 and then decided that he was ready to get up and play. After about an hour of him flopping around on us in the tent, Mike generously decided to take him for a sunrise hike. What a wonderful husband I have!
Annabelle, Jack and Asa pretty much just soaked up being able to play outside. Annabelle and Jack played really well together - which could very well translate that Jack is sweet with Anna even though she would constantly tell him what to do.
We all enjoyed a little dip into the river/reservoir. The highlight for me was a cooler weather picnic in a wide meadow with plenty of space for the kids to play in.
Asa tried to keep up with the big kids some of the time and picked up sticks and pine cones at other times. Either way he was determined to be dirty and eventually he sat in an old fire pit and scratched at the ash and soot with a stick.
He did come clean - but take a look at that face!
Wish you had come along?

sounds like a lot of fun! No matter where you guys go you always seem to find an awesome hiking and camping place! Beautiful face, beautiful families! Beutiful messy asa... pardonme, I mean handsome!
I wish I did. We need to do more trips with you guys so I can play with the camera too. That is my favorite part of the great outdoors capturing it! Mike you are awesome!
Wasn't that fun? Why didn't we do more of this stuff when you guys actually lived 2 minutes away from us?? Love that picture of Asa's face--he's all boy.
What great pictures. Asa reminds me of your brothers in this pic Tia. I mean, his features, NOT his messy face. Anyway, all the kids in these pictures are so cute and I'm glad you had fun.
Sure do we love to camp but hardly ever do!
