I wanna check you for ticks

So we decided to go camping this weekend because Brian got a camper while he was working in Wyoming and we still hadn't used it down here. Anyways, we had a blast. I got a few pictures that I'll post on here, too. Otto and Molli are true characters haha! They had so much fun just running around and not worrying about a thing. Otto finally got to do some swimming (Brian was a nervous wreck about gators for a while, we only saw one, but he calmed down after me and dad got in the water, too). O ya, dad came down on Saturday but left after dinner, we did a little fishing with no luck though. We saw some bass chasing shad but we still didn't catch anything. Since this was our first camping experience in our own camper by ourselves, we realized that our parents really knew what they were doing...we didn't have anything!!! Haha, have you ever tried to cook eggs and bacon with only a knife? or made a can of beans and eat them with just a knife? good thing my dad stopped by today because he made us some spoons lol! Unfortantly we had to leave a day early though because some pretty bad weather headed our way! 50 mph winds and lightining/thunder storms. We were blessed with great weather yesterday and all day today! O, and did I forget to mention that I pulled almost 10 ticks off of Brian, so far. None on me yet...

Ok, here's the story on the the grill/fireplace-we got out there, thinking we didn't need to take the fire pit, but it turned out there was a "burn ban" and you couldn't have a fire on the ground! So thank God Brian had an extra little (like 1 foot across) grill that we could have a little fire in!
Brian cooking eggs and bacon Saturday morning (with a knife!) on our 1960's vintage stove-looove it!
B-ri fishing...didn't catch much! Ok, we didn't get anything!
Otto being a good boy and not getting in the water...

Molli being a good girl...not getting in the H2O just yet...
The beautiful Ocklawaha River
My Pops throwin a pole!
I've got a little story line for these next few pictures, so follow along...
1. Brian would through a stick and Otto would go all the way out in the river and get it, while Molli stayed close to land, when he got close enough, she would jump (literally-like a kangaroo!) into the water and go steal the stick from him.
2. Brian would then try to chase Molli to get the stick back-she did not want him to have it.
3.Brian would try to sweet talk her out of the stick. (never worked haha)


4. Then Brian would start to get mad at her...

5. Eventually he would work it out of her mouth and be able to through it again for Otto and repeat 1-5! (thanks to Richelles comment, I need to add that: even if we got a different stick for Otto, Molli would drop the stick she had just to get the new stick that Otto got...she didn't really want to play with the stick, she just wanted to play keep away from the boys lol!)

  1. Hey Bri---why couldn't you just get a new freakin' stick for Otto and let Molli play duh!! Just kidding--I would much rather see a dog throw you around hahaha!!! I can't wait to go there someday and go camping and to the beach and all the other fun things that aren't in Utah....
