"In our search to obtain relief from the stresses of life, may we earnestly seek ways to simplify our lives. May we comply with the inspired counsel and direction the Lord has given us in the great plan of happiness. May we be worthy to have the companionship of the Holy Ghost and follow the guidance of the Spirit as we navigate this mortal journey. May we prepare ourselves to accomplish the ultimate purpose of this mortal test- to return and live with our Heavenly Father."

A camping we will go....

Our little fish. She has no fear when it comes to water. She wanted to just walk right in and take off. As soon as she is old enough for swim lessons I will be taking her!

Tragically we had to say good-bye to her highchair! (it flew out of the boat on our way home)


Chad got an itch to go fishing so we decided to go to huntsville State park (about an hour north of us) to go camping for the night. We packed up, hitched up the good old fishin' boat and left. I actually enjoy camping so Chad got lucky with that! We stayed in a little cabin/tent that you can reserve there. After some heavy duty sweeping and some bug killing we got everything upacked. Carly loved it! The last time we were there she was only 4 months old (and I thought she was difficult then) She wanted to be everywhere and into everything! She loved the fire (like father like daughter!) We just relaxed that night while Chad did some fishing. The next morning Chad woke up early and fished some more and then we went down to the swimming area to swim. They have to set aside a special swimming area at this lake because there are alligators there, yes, I said alligators! Anyway...it was a lot of fun and I am excited to go back!

Take her to swim lessons now!! It is so fun when they are little. I went with Lincoln when he was like 7-8 months. They just teach the babies to kick, float, etc and play fun games. You should see if they have anything available in your area. The one I went to was only like $27 for six lessons (once a week).

she looks like she is having a very good time. But really alligators in the same swimming hole I don't think so. So time for a new highchair huh? Thats to bad if flew out was it really bent up or did you even know that if flew off?

How fun! I love camping and swimming and fishing, my kind of fun. To bad about the high chair. And question.. how do the Alligator's know where they can and can't swim? Sounds a bit crazy if you ask me!!

They have an area netted off or at least that's what they tell us.
