Emma's Second Camping Trip - Aug 27-Aug 30, 2009

On my birthday we decided to go on our second family camping trip to camp Odetah in Connecticut. This is Emma's Second camping trip. Her first was almost a year ago on Labor Day. We were also joined by Emma's grandparents. It was Grandma Jasia's first camping trip ever at the ripe age of 61. They both did great despite the fact that we had heavy rain for most of it. On the really bad day we went to Mystic Aquarium so we were able to enjoy the day. We still cooked our own food, had fires and marshmallows every night. Emma also did a much better job sleeping at night than she did a year ago and she didn't take any naps...

Here is a photo of Emma camping last year.


And here is a couple from this year that are similar. What a change a year makes...

Here are some family photo shots. The first is of Grandpa Antoni and Grandma Janina with Emma, and the second is of our little family.

Here we are enjoying some ice cream time at the lodge after some dancing...only grandpa and mom participated. Dad and grandma refused...I guess they forgot their dancing shoes.

Here we are enjoying the fire.

Grandma gives Emma some knee rides that Emma calls "Hopsa-Hopsa".
