Tommy and Dade went camping earlier this month. As you can see, Dade was very excited! While I was packing food for them, Dade told me that I didn't need to pack anything because they were "going to go fishing and catch some fish to eat." After setting up the tent, Dade went exploring around the lake all by himself! They made s'mores, went for a walk at night with their flashlights, read books, attempted to catch some fish, and ate a big breakfast Sunday morning in Somerville.
A while back the boys started saying "Mr. Banana-pants." Tommy made one with Dade's snack!
Taking a picture of himself.
Dade took lots of pictures while he was exploring -- some rocks he found
and a variety of coke cans.
He followed this red bird for a while around the campsite --
it's on top of the truck in this picture.
Dade in the tree. As a side note, something I love about Dade... he only wants to wear "long-sleeve socks" that come up high. He will wear the low-cut version as a last resort but will choose his black Sunday dress socks (and has!) to wear with his tennis shoes if white ones are not clean.
Big Daddy at the grill -- sausage, filet mignon, roasted corn and baked potatoes,
Gran, Big Daddy, Audrey and Tommy relaxing before dinner.
Dade and Luke enjoyed spending time with Uncle Andy.
It should be against the law to go camping and not eat S'mores! Luke said he was "stuffed" of dinner yet made room for three desserts! 
Look at those tired eyes!
Playing Old Maid.
Luke passed out by the front door Sunday afternoon when we got home.
More sweets to finish off the weekend.
A BIG breakfast!
