"Camping" at Wildwood

Hello~

It's me, Allison. Meaghan and I wanted to tell you about our fun-filled weekend, although it did get a bit chilly and windy. Our mommy's family has an annual tradition of going camping in the summer together each month. The problem for our mommy, though, is that she very much dislikes camping. She thinks she needs running water, heat or air conditioning, and electricity. Our aunts say she's a wimp, whatever that is. Our family joins in once in the summer and we go to Wildwood (our other grandarent's place up in Fergus Falls). Mommy's side of the family comes too. They live on a fairly private lake and have tons of woods and stuff to do. Here are some pictures of what we did.

Me, Allison, playing with our cousin Cecelia.

I still don't like to swing yet, but Meaghan loves it. Cecelia had fun pushing her.

Ciaran is teaching me how to mow. Wildwood is too big for me to mow though.

Papa taking Meaghan for a ride. Evertime we saw someone on one of the 4-wheelers we went over and begged for a ride.

Now it's my turn.

Wildwood has raspberry bushes. I love raspberries. I wouldn't stop picking them and eating them.

Me chillin' out in our chairs by the camp fire, which was not lit yet. It was cold too, so I don't know why we couldn't have a fire. Something about not wanting Meaghan and I to get hurt. They waited til we went to bed.

Meaghan with Ciaran on the 4 wheeler, although we only got to sit on it. He can't take us out yet. Not til he's older, bummer.

There's another big thing that happened this weekend. Meaghan and I received our very FIRST haircuts. Daddy wanted to see our eyes and the hair kept getting in the way. Mommy had a bit of a meltdown over it. It caught her so off guard that she was laughing and crying at the same time. Our aunts teased her tons for that too.

Here's Meaghan prior.

During. Aunt Staci used to cut hair for other people all the time, now she just cuts the family's.

After, see mommy it's not that bad.

Daddy gave Meaghan a sip of mommy's rootbeer. Guess where Meaghan was everytime someone had a can of pop? Mommy just gave daddy a "look", he knew he probably shouldn't have done that, but Meaghan liked it.

Meaghan and I got to sit on the 4 wheelers by ourselves. Meaghan was learning what all the parts were, so she'll be ready when we're old enough to drive.

Bapa and Lexi took us for a stroller ride.

Me on Grandma Kreiser's lap with Cecelia. We went for our FIRST boat ride this weekend too. I told you we did some fun stuff.

We loved to check out the water.

Grandpa Kreiser let us drive the boat too. I look like a natural don't you think?

Meaghan could barely move in her lifejacket. I think I got the better jacket.

Me, Allison.

The adults and older kids got to have even more fun. They got to shoot a rifle, pistol, and 357. We were napping. Some day we'll join in that fun too.

Well we better get going. Hope you all had as much fun this past weekend as we did.

Love Allison ( & Meaghan)
