(Yes, Vanessa has developed the special talent her daddy holds as well: crossing one eye for pictures. I just hope she doesn't develop the same desire to take her driver's license picture that way.)
Vanessa camped out for her first time the other night. She was wonderful and excited. Daddy set up the tent for us and shared his sleeping bag and trusty headlamp to Vanessa. We had glow wands and bug spray. We played games and told stories. We ate s'mores and cashews and slept soundly till about 4AM when Mommy woke Vanessa to move inside -- Mommy had to potty and was annoyed by a small dog barking a couple of houses away.Vanessa: "It was the best campout ever!"
