They wandered around the campsite for hours exploring. The were fascinated with these cool "LEGO" weeds that some of the older boys showed them. They brought one home to show Mom how you could pull them apart & put it back together.
They had a great time hiking, climbing, & exploring! And they were so excited about having banana boats, hot chocolate, & sleeping in a tent!
Things got a little adventurous during the middle of the night. Joseph got up & started walking around the tent. Rick thought he needed to go to the bathroom so he unzipped the tent & started looking for Joseph's shoes. Before he could get his shoes out, Joseph took off running! Before Rick could get out to help him, Joseph had run across the creek (see picture below) & was running along the muddy bank & Rick's yells for him to stop weren't slowing him down.
While the boys were camping, we had a girls night! Lexie invited her friend, Cassidy, over for a late-over & they did so many, many things! They played in her room, played with slime, made cookies & cupcakes, bows & basically just had a blast together. It was so fun to hear them chatter & laugh. We will need to do that again soon.
With all of the adventures, I still think it's safe to say that the weekend was a success!
Joseph was terrified of something & Rick was quickly getting scared for him. Rick made a running leap over the creek (& then landed right into the muddy bank) before chasing down Joseph. He picked him up, calmed him down & took him back to the tent to change his clothes into the dirty, muddy ones he was wearing the day before. When Rick asked him about it in the morning, Joseph had no recollection of the midnight run. It was the first time we've ever experienced a sleepwalking child. Not sure we want to do it again anytime soon!
Sounds like a night terror, something we're all too familiar with here. They can be really scary. Glad everything else went well!
