Troy and Mickenzie went out early Saturday morning, while camping Memorial Day, to discuss how to make a camp fire, checked out the river, and later she helped him get his fishing stuff in order. It was really important stuff.
Mickenzie was rockin' her pink shades when we went to drive for firewood on Saturday afternoon. Pattie, Kenzie, and I rode in the backseat looking for mushrooms...Pattie can do it...I not so much.
Sunday morning Kenzie lounged for quite some time with her bottle. She slept the whole night, well, she also went to bed about an hour later, but who was paying attention to that. Keep in mind that all night was waking up at 5:30.
Sunday afternoon, Pattie and I went for a girls drive and Mickenzie stayed back at camp with Troy and Aron. She had a great time sitting in her swing and playing. Cody still doesn't seem too sure of Kenzie grabbing his nose, nor the noise she makes.
When I got back I snapped this picture. It's one of the few that she actually has smiled for. She smiles, then when she sees the camera she decides to get all serious on me. Oh well, love this picture, though some think she looks like a boy. We were camping for heaven's sake.
Kenzie and I in front of the river. When we camped here a few years ago, you could walk across the river on some rocks. This time, it was moving a tad on the fast side. Troy and Aron even floated it...brave souls with the snow run-off...or whatever you call it.
Kenzie spent quite a bit of time in her Bumbo (thanks again Cousin Zach!). She watched her dad tear down camp out the kicthen window. It's important for everyone to understand that we aren't really the "roughing it" while camping type. We cheat a bit with our generators, coffee pots, Pattie's laptop computer, heat, etc. Oh well...we were in touch with nature at least.
This is a picture from this afternoon. Aunt Lora came out to help me do some yard work...boy is there a lot to be done. Kenzie had her 6 month pictures taken by one of Lora's friends this morning. After her naps, she's by far one of the happiest kids I know. Before her nap...watch out! We were just sitting on the cooler talking, then Troy and neighbor Cody left to go work on the rototiller (uugh). Mickenzie always seems to smile when Troy talks to her.
Mickenzie is teething, so it's a rare shot to not have her fingers in her mouth. She intently watched her dad and Cody leave this afternoon.I know I haven't been the best, or at least sort of good, at posting pictures lately. Going back to work has sort of put a cramp in my free-time schedule. Thankfully, summer is right around the corner. That means lots of early morning walks (I hope), BBQs, and some fun little trips...or at least visits to more people than we do on week nights.
On June 7th Mickenzie will be 6 months old....how fast the time had gone!
