I know this is extremely late, but Cinco de Mayo makes me think of Easter and why I haven't posted pictures of our camping trip yet (it's because I'm a procrastinator - why do today what you can put off until tomorrow?). But I kicked myself in the pants and put myself in gear today (I got all the shopping done and cleaned the apartment!), and my drive to accomplish hasn't quite worn off yet (don't worry, it'll pass before too long), so I thought I'd share a little Easter joy during May.
Every Easter we go camping with my extended family (and I do mean extended - I believe there were more than 75 people there this year). Here's our small part of the clan at the BIG family dinner:
As R and I lived in New York for the past four years, we haven't been able to join the family for these annual camping trips, and our kids have never been camping at all. R, unfortunately, had to work over the Easter weekend, but that didn't deter me from taking A1 and A2 on their first camping trip. They had a great time, relaxing...
...and playing (A1 and her cousin Carmen riding Carmen's four-wheeler)...
...and just generally camping.
And the most anticipated tradition of the annual camping trip is, of course, the Easter Egg Hunt. It's nice to have little kids to share the joy with again (it was weird to do back when all of us were teenagers, with no little ones to actually find the magic of the Easter Bunny). A1 adored finding the hidden eggs, searching high and low to find them all...
...and A2 only needed a little lift to get into the action (thanks, Uncle Ryan).
Overall it was a great camping trip, and I look forward to doing it again next year. I just hope R can join us for the memories!
