camping and painting

This weekend we went to Seward again. We camped out at Forest Acres which is alot more woodsie than the bay area. There had been black bears spotted in the campsite and rumors of a brown running around. Personally I started praying that nothing would happen. I am terrified of bears and babies mixing company. A few yrs back I used to run into bears quite often, so much so that a few people thought I was charmed( yeah right). Anyways after having kids your whole perspective on camping and risk in gerneral changes dramatically. So, I prayed. The campground had a play area where the girls met tons of other kids. The site right next to us was full of a family of 7. Wow was I ever impressed. This mama had her shitake down. There were a pair of 3yr olds in the bunch for the girls to run around with. Along with a seven yr old boy who I credit with Denali's new interest in toy guns and saying Bang bang I shot you. Yay, not thrilled about that influence at all. I know Sean's a gun fanatic and all but not in front of the girls. All in all we had a great time and only suffered a few scrapes and bruises. Denali ran straight into a tree face first. How does this happen, split second and well....it just does. We left by 11 am on Sunday morning and headed into Hope, we are hoping to go camping there in the next few weeks with some other families and friends which will be fun. By the time we reached home in the hood we were all ready for some rest and real food. On Tuesday I gathered up the girls for some outdoor painting during probably the sunniest day we've had yet. Hopefully my slide show will work out for this post. We are still waiting on the house deal. We keep hearing that chances are we are going to be able to get it because we are the first offer in that has all the qualifications for buying the home. Again its a holding pattern game, we just keep flying around in circles and waiting. Til then we are just going day by day. The girls are particularly excited today because they get to go play with there cousin Sara. Hope all is well! Big Love from Sean and the Whalenettes!
