10:10:10- Camping

Bryan, Olive and I loaded up the car and drove about 5 hours east to meet our good friends Jeff and Cicie, who drove 5 hours west from Washington D.C. We had decided to go modified camping all together and meet in the exact middle, which turned out to be BarkCamp State Park in Ohio. So much fun to eat bad food, roast marshmallows, and the unintended bonus of timing our trip with the beautiful Autumn leaves! A great weekend catching up with friends - now we're back, unpacked with a lot of clean laundry to be folded before climbing into bed tonight.

Bunk beds were hilarious until Jeff fell off the top one at 3 in the morning

Afternoon Naps




I love it when Olive falls asleep - not for the obvious reason of getting a little down time from her, but because it's so funny that she's going 100%, and then bam - she's down for the count. Sometimes I can get lucky and I can tell when she's about ready to fall asleep, but usually it takes me completely by surprise - she also isn't picky about where she sleeps either, which is pretty funny.

Heading into our first weekend of October and really looking forward to it - LOTS of fun things to do, but have to make sure to carve out some time to do nothing.
