New Shoes

We are going on our Annual Mace Family Campout this weekend.  Now, in everyday life Camden does just fine without shoes, but I realized yesterday that he may want some while we're camping.  None that we have fit him anymore, so I bought some.  He didn't come with me to the store, I knew his biggest too small shoes were 8's, so naturally I bought 9's.  BUT holy smokes did they look huge.  I bought three pair, figured we could see which ones fit and which ones he liked (if he had any preference).

Option #1 - Cars - Size 9

Option #2 - OshKosh - Size 9W

Option #3 - DC - Size 9

 And which do you think he chose?  We tried all of them on.  They were all pretty dang cute.  And he went with the ones which fit the worst. 

The DC's.  This is Chris' child.

He came up with this pose all his own.

"Mom, I really like these campin' shoes!"

I think the brown ones might be best, and I'll probably hang onto them just in case he realizes that the DC's are a little clowny and big, but he told me multiple times how much he likes the ones he chose.  I asked if he liked the way they fit or the way they looked.  He said he liked the way they fit. 

Really, he'll wear them this weekend and then probably not again until it gets cold outside so a little big might be a fine way to go.  Right experienced children shoe buyers?  I need reassurance that I shouldn't run them back to Ross before Cam knows what happened and he'll be stuck with the brown ones.

A First

The Moody's went on their first EVER camping trip, all lone. 
"Together, but alone" (Meredith)

We stayed pretty close, the campsite was just up in Huntsville.

It wasn't very campy, because there was a house on either side of us and the next "site" was like 6 feet away, but we were the only ones there so it was still fun.  It was a good experience to see how we did, what we really needed and what we forgot! 

It was mostly cold in the morning, because a lot of the heat from the fire went towards cooking breakfast.

Cam fell asleep in the tent about 8:30pm, so Chris and I played Phase 10 around him.  It was not super comfortable, but it was super fun. 

I did NOT sleep well at all.  My lower back ached from the first of many times that I woke up.  It was pretty awful.  Maybe foam pads aren't going to do it for me anymore.

Have to document that I WAS there.

The camera died pretty early on, so picture scenery is limited.  The next step is to take some friends camping for company, because it got a little boring now and again.  Who's in?

We love camping.  :)

Fathers and Sons

Chris and Cam went to their first fathers and sons campout with Clark and my Dad!  It was so fun (I heard)!  I sent the camera with Chris, but . . . he couldn't find it in his backpack so he took no pictures.  Sorry friends.
