Dirt and more dirt...didn't seem to bother Jacob!
Our two little explorers Wesley and Ethan! Aren't they cute?Well, here is the morning! After only THREE hours of sleep...Jacob was back awake...all smiles. Ethan did great...although he was worn out too since his brother decided that sleeping in a tent was not for him and it would be much more fun to be awake all night either fussing or laughing and climbing all over the tent. It was a rough night to say the least. We resorted to taking him for a drive at 4am finally and that put him to sleep. Since Ethan never liked the car or fell asleep in it...we rarely think to do that...but it works with Jacob. Anyway, we enjoyed most of Saturday, but decided to cut the trip short and not chance another sleepless night!
Here we are all "looking" awake and enjoying lunch. :) It was Acacia's 5th birthday and poor little thing...she got sick and had a hard time enjoying it. Camping this year just wasn't mean to be! BUT...we still celebrated and had as much fun as we could on 3 hours of sleep.
Ethan sporting dirt on his face. We were all totally a mess by the time we got home!!! But what's camping without dirt?
We're all smiles at dinner on Friday night. It really was awesome to spend time with my sis and her family camping...just wish it had gone better at night!
Here's Jacob, also sporting dirt on his face and well...up his nose!
Beautiful as always in Estes! Wish we had been able to hike a bit of it...but we stuck pretty close to camp; playing games, baseball and trying to function without sleep. (I also forgot the backpack...so it would have been hard to hike).
Here's Jacob "napping". We had to strip him down and leave the windows open in the tent because it was SO hot even in the mountains! We ignored him and eventually he did fall asleep...but not for too long...he was just too hot.
Here we are on our little mini hike. The kids did great. Even Jacob hiked up most of it! Acacia was back at camp relaxing since she wasn't feeling well.

Perhaps camping is in the future for us...but it will be a while...
Sorry to everyone at the camp site! I didn't mean to be a loud neighbor!!!
