Camping at Big Basin

This weekend we went camping with our friends Andy and Marissa at Big Basin State Park. It was Ollie's first camping trip, and I think he had a lot of fun (he didn't exactly say so but I know he did). We left Friday after everyone got off work, and after I got back from Pinkberry with a friend (I know, my life is so hard). We got up there around 7:15 pm, set up our tents, drank hot chocolate, played a card game and then headed to bed. In the morning we made a delicious breakfast of pancakes and eggs with no bacon (Jason left the bacon in the fridge which almost ruined the trip). We lounged around and then packed up our stuff and explored the park for a bit. We had planned to spend the afternoon hiking but it started raining, which was why we didn't stay another night. It was really fun, minus sharing a sleeping bag with Ollie, he is a wild sleeper. We really love camping and we can't wait to go again.

Ollie loved the tent, he was so excited when he woke up he just crawled around forever, squealing and having fun

Fletcher (our car) did not let us down, we packed him so full. Can you believe all the stuff for one night?

And here are some pictures of Oliver. He is just such a busy kid, seriously, he is a NON-STOP mover. We love him so much. He is tons of fun and brings us so much joy every single day! I have been working a day or two a week starting a couple weeks ago, and although I am glad to be practicing, I seriously miss him so much on the days I work. He is my little buddy.

The dishwasher is pretty much the coolest thing he has ever seen, he LOVES it!

I call this one "Patiently Waiting", the second he hears the water running he bolts to the bathroom and waits. I LOVE his cute little bum and chunky legs.

This picture cracks me up. I had just gotten him dressed and usually the second I am done (or while I am dressing him) he turns over and crawls off, well this day he just laid there. This is so rare for him that I left the room to get the camera and when I peaked back he was in the same position. Funny boy.
