David and Anna

We went camping last weekend at Wind Creek State Park. Other than Stone Mountain (in Georgia) this is our favorite campground. They had a lot to do (swimming, fishing, hiking, bike riding, playgrounds, etc).

We went to the beach and David and Anna had a great time playing together. This is the Anna from the previously posted kissing pictures.

They ran into the water like this about 10 times. Love it!

God made him do it

Last night Brad did some video work at the Brook so David and I went to dinner together. His choice – Zaxby’s. Not so bad, they have good food. And according to David a really awesome berry drink, which is just cherry Fanta.

We were sitting there playing I Spy, the game of choice at Zaxby’s since they have things all over the walls and he likes to find the most minute detail to spy, which I often can’t find. Did I spell the work minute wrong or is it really spelled that way? It looks just like minute, well, I guess it is. That bothers me. Words that are spelled the same, but sound different. But I digress.

So in the middle of a challenging game of I Spy and filling his tummy with chicken fingers he burped louder than I’ve never heard anyone burp in my life. Well, that may be a slight exaggeration but I promise it was loud – the high school kids sitting near us actually looked at him and laughed.

I glared at him. He KNOWS he’s not allowed to burp out loud in public. At least the boy has manners, he said “Excuse me” after the burp. At home it’s okay to burp out loud…who doesn’t think burping contests aren’t fun?

So he started giggling and so did I. When I gained composure I remind him that if he needs to burp in a restaurant he needs to do it quietly.

He says, “But mom, God is pressing a button that’s making me burp. I can’t stop it.”

And he's only 4

We went camping last weekend with our normal camping groupies and another friend joined us. KC brought her daughters out for the day and to spend the night on Saturday night.

We had a great day of playing, riding bikes, fishing, grilling out, and swimming in Lake Martin. We even got to see a mama grab a switch (actually it was more of a branch) off of a tree and proceed to whip her kid with it. She wouldn't stay still so mama was chasing her around the beach with it. David learned that day what a switch was...and so did I...it was a first for me to see that.

So fishing was fun and I hate fishing (unless it's in the Gulf where you actually, you know, CATCH something). While fishing the kids got tired of it (I don't blame them) and sat down to watch everyone else.

This is the next thing we see....so of course I grabbed my camera and started shooting.

Keep in mind, David is 4 and Anna is 5. She's an older woman. If they were much older I would have not thought this was funny. But it's okay now, right?


My favorite...

Belly Button

A couple of weeks ago David was looking at his belly button when asked me what it was for. I explained that when he was in my tummy a tube went to his belly button and that is how he ate. (Don't you like my terminology?) I continued to explain that as soon as he was born the doctor removed the tube and he started eating with his mouth. He thought it was silly, but moved on to something else - like probably playing with Match Box cars. So that was the end of that conversation.

So...tonight he was looking at his belly button and I asked him if he remembered what it was for. He said when he was in my tummy - it's how he ate. Then he looked closely at his belly button and seemed puzzled. He asked "Where are it's teeth?"
