Camping Trip
Just got back from a little Father's Day Camping Trip. We spent Sunday night at Pohick Bay campground about 30 minutes outside DC. It's sort of an annual tradition to kick off the summer with a camping trip.
I usually just take Parker and Summer, but this was Josiah's first official camping trip. He was living large!
We drove around the campground three times trying to find the perfect campsite. Then we set up our tent. I could tell Lora was pretty impressed with my new and improved tent setting-up skilzs.
A few of the highlights included waking up to very non-urban sounds. Just think Woody the Woodpecker. I opened my eyes around 6 AM to discover that Josiah was about four inches from my face with a huge smile on his face. Priceless. We found one of the freakiest slugs I've ever seen. The kids named him Bighead because, you guessed it, he had a big head. And I actually caught a water snake. Unfortunately, after a few seconds in captivity, it managed to slither out of my net. But for a few brief moments I felt like Jeff Corwin.
Good times.

I think you're probably more Steve Irwin ... just toss in that great *cough* Australian accent, say something like "this is one of the deadliest snakes in the world" and you've got it.
