we went to burr oak state park in ohio, and had a great time - PERFECT weather, great neighbors, no one fell into the fireplace, no one jumped into the poison ivy patch - what more could you ask for!?!?!?
few notable moments:
1. we went on a 1.5 mi hike w/erin & jack. ~.5 mi into it, erin started thinking her legs were going to fall off - my feet hurt, my legs are tired, and the most serious concern - "i'm breathing so hard that it's making my nose hurt"!!!!
2. On the same hike, jack rode in the backpack baby carrier. the same carrier that erin screamed in terror for the entire time she was inside it, jack fell asleep in, within 5 minutes! head bobbing, eyes rolling, a pathetic little site!
3. probably the most amazing event of the trip. at christmas, amy got erin a book called "my mom talks to trees". it's a story where the mom & daughter go on a walk & identify trees - a tulip poplar, white pine, walnut, etc. we're sitting at the picnic table in the campsite, and erin's looking at this tree. she gets all excited, goes into the tent, digs out this book, brings it back, finds the right page, and says "LOOK! a FOX FACE! This tree is the SAME as in my book!" yup - you guessed it, at 4 years old, erin identified a poplar tree!
good time overall!
