Norah’s first Campout

Last weekend a friend of Bryan’s hosted a big party / campout on his property to celebrate his retirement from the Air Force, finishing his PhD and his daughter’s HS graduation. He lives way out in the countryside near Rome NY– as in there was no internet or cell phone service! It was a great party complete with a bbq, bonfire, bouncy house, swing set, trampoline, blueberry picking, swimming in a nearby creek and lots of kids and lots of dogs. Needless to say Norah had the time of her toddlerhood and declared “I like it camping!”

Norah LOVED this collie named Sadie May and even prompted us to include Sadie in our family prayers days later.IMG_7603A major diversion for the men was trying to set this tree on fire using strategic chain sawing and lots and lots of lighter fluid.

It sounds like a toddler paradise! No wonder Norah loved it!
