Camping again?

Robert has been coaching football all day every day all week. He has only been home but a couple of hours each day and Ruth got to see her daddy no more than 30 minutes a day this week. Of course it was just one week of two-a-days training however it was stressful at home with Ruth constantly wanting her Daddy. To get away from the stress of school for both of us, work for both (I start back subsitituting this week), football, and everything else stressing us...we went camping again. This time it was just the three of us and we had a fantastic but quiet time. We spent most of our time on the beach or cooking by the tent. Ruth went to bed early and Robert and I played cards and watched a movie...something we haven't done in quite a while. We woke up the next morning to head straight back to the beach for fun in the sun before heading home.

In times past Ruth has been not so sure about the water...only entering with her on our hips. This time however she was a water baby and was running in and out by herself all the way up to her neck! It was a blast to watch her and here are some pictures for you to enjoy as well!


Attempting to say cheese and make a goofy camera face for me....

Jumping in and out of the water with Daddy...

Rolling around and letting the waves crash up over her...

Lets see what kind of mess I can make by pouring sand and water in my water shoes!

All this fun required a nap with Daddy on the beach. Her face is totally saying "Mom...quit bothering me...what is it with you and that camera?"
