ta-da

Finally, Operation Playhouse 

 is complete. 

 Just in time for

 making woodsy stews and 

having a little place to call home.

off camera

Somehow the camera was just out of reach to capture the latest chapter in our camping adventures: bee stings, 

leaping flames from the pan of butter that caught on fire (quite an impressive sight), 

 strained back from carrying toddler on front + giant pack on back, 

 endless chorus of "are we there yet?",

and 104.5 degree fevers. 

We gather memories like beachcombers at the shore, each one as unique as the other and file them away

in this great adventure we call Family.
