We got to stare at this great plaque marking a place where there was once a fossil bed.
Wander around a flea market. Visit this exciting alligator farm, aka small pond with a chain link fence. Seeing the alligators close up was pretty cool... afterwards Corbin requested that we go visit the zebras next -- he clearly hasn't ever seen cool animals in the wild and was certain we were at a zoo.
Go swimming, the water was about the same temperature as your average hot tub, but luckily we went the first night we were there while it was raining and stormy outside so we didn't mind warming up a bit.
All in all, we had a great time!
Okay, so clearly Makelle wasn't able to appreciate it all, but Corbin really did love camping... I think little boys always like being outside, going on adventures and getting dirty.
My favorite line out of him though was at 5 o'clock in the morning (after bouncing off the tent walls with excitement the night before about sleeping outside in a sleeping bag) when he woke up to the first glint of sun and stated that he was boring (we are still working on tenses) inside the tent and he was ready to get out and play more.
For me the best part was getting to see my family, talk with what feels like my long lost cousins, (we don't get to see each other nearly enough) and introduce Corbin and Makelle to their Great Grandma and Grandpa Lloyd. Caleb's favorite part of the trip was well...
What a great babysitter, he is always so good at getting the kids to sleep.
