A couple of weekends ago we 
went camping at Somerville for Shawns 30th birthday. Neal, Ella & I went up on Thursday evening with my parents camper and enjoyed a little time to ourselves. It was sunny & hot and Ella enjoyed every second of it outside! She loves to crawl up and down the steps, in and out of the camper OVER & OVER! But hey, whatever keeps her happy, we didn't care that we were air conditioning the whole park - we weren't paying for electricity! Friday afternoon a few friends joined us with their campers and boats so we thought we would take Ella out for a little boat ride. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, it was sunny, hot & windy! So needless to say, the water was really choppy which called for a really bumpy boat ride. Me and Ella rode with Big Wess on his big boat and boy was it a ride! I was sitting with Ella in my lap holding on to her for dear life, and I'll just put it this way, my butt was really sore after the ride! So of course the wind was blowing like crazy in Ellas face so I turned her around so she was facing me. When we finally got to wherever we were going I sat her up, or tried to sit her up and this is what was going on....

Yep, she was fast asleep! Now how the heck did that happen? So i guess that's what she thinks about boat ridin'.
And of course, you know me, I had my camera with me because I just knew I was going to get some really cute pictures of her in the boat and maybe even swimming. Nope I get sleeping -but I did manage to get a couple before we left.
And check her out about a year ago in the same little life jacket. I think she has grown a little - what do you think?

Auntie Chels came and picked Ella up on her way home from work Friday evening and kept her for the rest of the weekend while we (or the guys) got busy fishin. Poor Neal had a heck of a time getting his lines put in, in fact he had such crappy luck I could write an entire post about what all went wrong for him, but I think I'll just stick with saying he had crappy luck. But in the end, everything worked out fine and this is what he brought home:
So I guess it wasn't all that bad!
So I guess it wasn't all that bad!Ok, now on to a little advertising! This is for all of you who would like to camp but don't have a camper, and are too old or just don't want to stay in a tent. I never knew there was such a thing, but check out what our neighbors were sporting all weekend:
I don't know about y'all, but I think this is hilarious! Where do you find these? Oh yeah, I guess you could just call 1-800-RV4RENT and find out!
We had a really nice time camping and enjoyed hanging out with everyone and celebrating how OLD Uncle Shawn is, but we were ready to get home as usual after a long weekend. Really, we were ready to be home and unpacked lounging on the couch. But what do you know, we get home and the dang air conditioning is out in the house! UGH!!! I guess that's what I get for wasting air conditioning while Ella climbed in and out of the camper all day!
