From the Beach to the Tent

Only a few days ago we were "living large" in San Diego on vacation. We went to the beach, the parks, the zoo, the children's science center, on a boat ride, etc. Now we're back in Missouri. Today's fun activity? We set up the tent and took our nap outdoors. Then after nap time we put away the blankets and pillows and played in the tent. Hmmmm...I hope the girls can get used to normal life again!

Becky, did you graduate from Ray-Pec in 1983? I did and you look really familiar and I would love to say hi if you're my classmate :) I've been following your blog off and on for a few months now and I just love how "homey" it makes me feel.

Yes! Is this Belinda Harris by any chance?????? Oh my gosh I hope so!

It is me! You have such a beautiful family and I have loved reading your blog and wondered a couple of times if it was you, but when I finally looked at your videos, I was pretty sure... you haven't aged a day :) And just a minute ago I read your entry on the 80's... again, you haven't aged at all! If you're on FaceBook I'll catch up with you there, so others can continue to enjoy reading about your sweet daughters!

Belinda, search for me on facebook under Rebecca Irvin Smith. I tried searching for you but couldn't find you and can't see your blog. Can't wait to catch up with you!

Hey mama! Naps in the tent...I HAVE to remember that one!! You are so clever!!
You and your sis look so much alike! I had to do a double take to make sure which one was you! Pretty ladies!!!
Ruby's braids look so cute! Avas' hair is getting long enough that I'm going to attempt them...listen...you may here me screaming from WA! Or, maybe it will be Ava screaming???? :)

Oh...I almost forgot...the '80's picture. Sigh. Remember those days? Sigh again. :)

Hey! We have done that with the boys a lot, too. They love sleeping in the tent. We actually did that a lot when we were working on our house. We had the 2-man tent set up in one of the bedrooms. And to sleep outdoors in the tent was an extra treat. I'm sure the girls really got a kick out of it!
