It was a big weekend for Ella! She has been waiting
all summer and finally she got to go on her first cam
ping trip! This weekend was the ward camp out and we decided to just have Eric take Ella up for Friday and then Chloe and I would join in the fun on Saturday. (Chloe would not have had any fun on Saturday without getting her full nights sleep, so her first camping trip will have a wait.) Poor Chloe was very unhappy that Ella was leaving without her though. I tried to make it up to her with a fun night with mom. They had a great time and Ella loved every minute of it. Eric was a ready for a nap by the time I saw them at 9am, but he had a good time too. On Saturday we played on the beach (Chloe's beach skills are much improved since the beginning of summer!), splashed in the lake, and Ella even had her first canoe ride! She looked so tiny sitting in the canoe. She was so brave and even went without us! We thought today would be bad due to the lack of sleep on Friday and busy day on Saturday, but she's been doing just fine! Too bad we don't live near Gaby and Cody, then we could go all the time! (Right, Gaby?)

She does look so small in the canoe!! Cute stuff! Looks like you made some good memories.
looks like a fun weekend- camping near the beach?? even better. so proud of chloe for getting better with the beach stuff. i bet ella felt like such a big girl to go alone with daddy!
SO CUTE! I love Chloe's beach pictures!
Emilie and Ben had a great time too!
Looks like everyone had fun. Was it really chloe that wouldn't have had too much fun without her sleep and bed...or maybe mom ;) Glad you had a good weekend!
How fun, so sad we missed it!
What fun pictures! My favorite weekend of the whole year was always the "Father/Son Campout" b/c it meant I got Mom all to myself. Bummer that they have "Family Campouts" now, though I'm rooting for a "Daddy/Daughter Campout," provided, of course, that we can borrow all the equipment from somebody! :) Very, very fun pictures, and a great way to "end" the summer, now that Ella's a big school girl and everything!
Hey Eric sorry about those Bears of yours and now Oden is having knee surgery. You would think the bears might have made a move for Leftwich or some QB w/ talent.

so, yeah. if you don't update this page, you deserve Chad coming in and making sporting jabs at your expense...did you say something about Ella and school?!? :)
So, is this like Central Park or something? Hard to Photoshop the park benches out of the photos, I bet. And, I've gotta believe this was the first time your Pilot had its tires in the dirt. Bet you wish you had an '85 Blazer.
