Summer Fun~Camping!

Hello sweet Blog, how I've missed you and my blogging friends! Shall I catch you up to date...

(Kyle's "boo boo" face, begging me to let him dive into the lake

for the turtle he just saw swim by!)

We've been enjoying this wonderful weather we've had all summer..70's to low 90's...winds and misty rains..sigh..lots of exploring and laughter. Camping was our most recent adventure..

A Hike led us to a pear tree, in the middle of a remote field, a misty rain fell on us and a nearby brook ran full. Kyle had his sights on a pear, I watched as he jumped as high as he could over and over again to reach it. The whole scene was surreal, seriously magical.

we explored deeper into the brook and found that it held the most amazing dragonfly

and we ran into a beautiful wolf spider the size of my palm! The next day, after a big rain..this rock was almost entirely submerged, with her still clinging the side.

We peeked into a tunnel and found a funnel web
Kyle found an emerald green cicada

and further on our hike, he found a cicada exoskeleton.

A Blue Tailed Skink sparked some nature journaling

Ofcourse there were s'mores and campfire cuddles <3

I hope you all are having a fun filled summer, I can't wait to see what you've been up to!
