part of the reason I married my hot hubby - his mad dance skillz.

September Goodness
One of the things that the Perrys' love more than fall is camping.
And that's exactly what we did this past September weekend.
We joined Gammy & Gampa & their camper (otherwise known as my weekend sanity)
& probably found themselves 1/2way thru the weekend, wondering what they were thinking by allowing the little sweeties to interrupt their sleep by joining them in their warm camper.
We took out the canoe (I just kept saying "Tippy canoe & Tyler too", cuz I think I heard that in history class back in high school)....and Flynn even got to take a spin around the lake (photos to follow).
We found safe chocolate & made s'mores, sat around the fire, barbqued and caught a walking stick.
How does it get any better? I mean, seriously, can you think of a funner way to spend a weekend???
Now, the 'icky' part is that we spent the last couple hours of our hiatus at the local rural hospital as Flynn had a reaction.
But once again our girl proves courageous, only cried while getting a shot, and then slept for 5 hours.
And also once again, God shows provision with the fact that it was not an anaphylactic reaction, we knew exactly where the hospital was, and made it there w/in 10 minutes.
We also have the absolute best church family around, with one family coming to the hospital to check on us, 2 families calling once we were home, and another family bringing us dinner (along w/ chocolate covered strawberries, which I inhaled w/in 18 hours, and played games w/ Flynn on her floor for 2 hours...Caseys, you rock!).
I had planned on taking a photo of the strawberries as they were beautiful, w/ orange drizzle, but I sat them out to take the picture, and ate them before I could even turn on my camera.

Happy Campers
The Perrys recently went on a camping trip.
Bubs was all too thrilled to be getting to eat fig newtons for breakfast.
It even made him do the chicken dance.
THIS picture reminds me what a baby he still is (even tho he TURNS TWO TOMORROW!!)
This is what I saw when I opened my eyes that morning.
Everybody's happy to sleep in a tent.
Even when you don't get to ever sleep becuz there are about 3 coyotes howling outside of the tent.
The great thing about camping is getting to wade in creeks.
and throw sand.
And swing.
