Thanksgiving 2012

We spent this Thanksgiving camping with my parents and sister at a new park near Lafayette.  It was a fantastic park for our favorite pastimes.  They had 3 bodies of water connected by a canoe trail.  Fishing wasn't successful but we got in a lot of practice.  Our Thanksgiving feast was delicious by campfire.

Notice the canoe trail in the background. 

 

Yes, that's a gator just ahead.  We ended up seeing 4.

 

Adam got his first shot at fishing from his kayak!

Still trying.  It was just  too cold. 

 

Caleb Turns 3! What???

Our little guy is 3 and we went camping with family to celebrate. Caleb thinks of nothing but superheroes right now and so we sort of themed our small party around that. We played some games that the boys loved, had a cake with the Avengers on it, and opened present after present of dress up costumes.

They had to free 3 Avengers, Captain America, Black Widow, and Thor, from Mr. Freeze's Ice Prison!

They finally figured out that dropping the ice block smashed it best, until they were given hammers. They loved it and we loved watching them figure it out. 

 

Then we had an obstacle course they had to find their way through without breaking the lines.

 

Then the super heroes had to punch through some "walls" to find prizes like balloons, stamps, and erasers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Best Pictures Ever!

Thanks to a photographer friend of ours, we ended up with copies of these pictures she took for a church project.  I LOVE THEM!   Caleb has never looked at a camera in his life!
