Well its only been 3 weeks, but here is our camping post.
We had a very wonderful time this year. It was not quit as eventful as last, but that's okay. we went out on Thursday and came home on Tuesday. So it was a pretty long camping trip with a 2 year old. My parents and their friends came out for a few days over the weekend. So that helped break everything up a bit...especially since it was the 3 of us in a 31 foot camper...yikes.
Tuesday before we left we went to the toy store to get some "fun new" toys for the trip. One of the things we got was a play-doh kit (thanks Tami). He loved it, and actually he is very good using it in the "correct manner".
We did the same thing we did last year. We let Ryan have the master suite again and Matt and I slept in the kitchen. But in the early morning he always wanted to play with us in our bed. Which of course we let happen so our day always started late. But that is what vacation is all about.
We walked around the camp ground alot and did lots of miscellaneous things. We went down to the lake, the boathouse, and even ate ice cream in the rain. It was pouring down rain, to where you can't even keep your eyes open when walking through it. It rained so hard that the road to get in and out of 'the valley' was being flooded. But guess who loved every minute of it...our little water boy. We had to make him stay under the pavilion. He kept running out in it. So when it was time to leave and we had to walk through the parking lot, he thought it was the best thing ever. Actually I did too, because there was nothing we could do about it, and things you can't control that you would normally never do, always turns out to be the most fun.

Even though it rained so much we were still going to BBQ. Matt said he didn't care he was doing it. And I also think it was the best we ever ate, even eating it in the rain. It was a little stressful from time to time. Everyone had just a little advice for him on how to do it.
We had LOTS of outside play. I don't think that ever quit. We had chalk, bubbles, balloons, pool time (in door and out). We had to take several baths since we were getting SOOOO dirty.
We went into Hermann on Saturday for a few wineries and for lunch. Just a nice little stroll in a cute little town.
Oh boy then that night was crazy. There was a live band. And for you who know Ryan, know he loves to boogie. There was no one else on the dance floor. Then we got there, he ran straight in front of the band, and broke out his wicked moves. Then the floor started to fill up. He is a tough one to keep up with. We were getting wore out, so we promised the park on the way back if we could leave. That was fun, I have never played in the park at night before.
