Camped out

The weekend before Noah started Kindergarten we went out on Long Island for a couple nights of camping. On the way out we had some car trouble and Uncle Bugs met up with us to help out. After the car was handled, we grabbed dinner.

Almost perfect right? Too bad we couldn’t have picked better neighbors.

Always good to be camping.

The day after coming back from NH we stopped by to see Nana T and Opa. After dinner Noah kind of knew what we might have for dessert…

Almost a month ago now.. in NH, on Noah’s birthday.

Noah watches “My Pretty Pony” and talks about it so Kate got him a few of the ponies, when he opened it he said “but Mom.. these are for girls” as he played with them.

For his birthday, Nana and Grampa Holt wanted to take Noah to Santa’s Village.
