Jeremy decided to take Asher up to the mountains for his first hammocking trip with Daddy. Before they left I drilled Jeremy about the camera, and taking pictures, and lots of videos, and not forgetting to take pictures, and oh my gosh please take lots of pictures…and, this is what I got.
They were right next to the beautiful Rim, or so I hear, ha! This seriously makes me laugh. To be fair, the trip only lasted about 8 hours. They got up there, setup their entire camp, had dinner, hung out, and drove home to sleep in their own beds, ha! It started raining, and the wind picked up, and it was 48 degrees at 8:00p and they didn’t pack for cold weather. It was hilarious though, when I saw Asher he told me that he had so much fun on his camping trip with Daddy, ha! I guess the length of time didn’t matter, it still left a lasting impression :).

We’ve had so much fun lately celebrating people! Asher and I got to see a little girl become a part of a family forever at an adoption hearing, and I have to say, that was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen; Asher had a blast hanging out with all the big kids at his friend, Jonas’ birthday party; Asher’s best bud, Carter, turned 4, and any party that has a pinata with a real baseball bat is worth mentioning; and, we got to celebrate Baby Carter. Baby Carter, who we prayed hard for before we even met him. Jeremy was so honored to lead his baby dedication, and then we got to celebrate his 1st birthday. There has been a lot of celebrating going on, and it’s been great!

And, I just have to thank Asher. Asher, you are amazingly flexible and I’m so thankful for your easy going personality. I forget stuff all the time, and 90% of the time you forgive me and roll with the punches. You bless me in so many ways. Thanks for being ok when I forget your swim suit, your sippy cup, your nigh nigh bear when you ask me to grab him…I love you.
“It’s a pail, it’s a hail.” Love it. What fun to hang with daddy. Memories that will last forever.
He is beyond adorable. What a fun memory that camping trip will become. I love hearing how flexible Asher is 🙂 that definitely helps parenthood! My son always laughs when he hears the commercial on Nick Jr about ‘perfectly imperfect parents’…I made the mistake of asking him once why that was funny and his reply was “That’s YOU, Mom!” Thank Heavens for kids with good humor!
Wow,the sound effects of the Hail was great!Glad they had a fun time,it’s always nice to sleep in your own bed!
Lots to celebrate about! I love his smile!
I love that you got one pic from the trip…sounds like something that would happen in my house! And “It’s a pail” cracked me up…ha! Loved this post…so fun to see all the celebrations! Miss you!
I think J & Ash have discovered an awesome way to camp. . . have fun, explore the area, eat yummy camp food, then go home & sleep in your own warm bed. THAT’S a camping trip I can get behind!
