Always big kids at heart

Last night we drove to Sunshine Cove for some sunshine and for our last campfire on the beach. We had so much fun exploring the rocks nestled along the coast and finding just a few of the interesting creatures that live in the ocean. This has definately been one of our favorite things to do while we have been in Alaska - especially campfires on the beach. As if exploring the rocks and the sea creatures doesn't make us feel like kids all over again, we found something last night that sent us right back into our childhoods. This being a...
ROPE SWING!
This was awesome. We all had a great time taking turns swinging in the tree tops. Here are just a few pictures of the things that make us feel the most like kids:
Brett and I are also preparing for our journey home and one of the things we needed to do for that was buy a inexpensive tent. We already have a tent at home in Utah but we didn't bring it with us because - well I don't know why but we didn't. So we didn't want to spend a lot of money on a tent but we are camping on the coast on our way back home so we need a tent. We ventured to Walmart and made a purchase of a kid tent. We brought it home and set it up to try it out and make sure that we would fit. As you can see, it is a little tight for Brett. It's a good thing that he is a fetal-sleeper and doesn't need a lot of wiggle room when he sleeps. Dax also helped us test out the tent and he loved it. Here's a few pictures to demonstrate. The last one is my favorite. He liked the mesh and he squished his head against it to get Megan on the outside of the tent. What a cute boy!

I love the little kid tent! I am also a fetal sleeper- I didn't know that brett was- that is funny! Dax looks so cute with hi face squished up against the tent! We are so excited to see you!!!!!!

I love cute Dax's little squashed up face. Maybe you should just bring him home with you. I know a lonely grandma who probably wouldn't protest too much!

Hopefully your camping on the coast is a blast--can't wait to hear how that goes! We are counting down the minutes until that little red Subaru pulls into the blessed valley. (Although it's bittersweet because I'm sure Megan is so sad to see you go.)

What a great last camp out that was! The rope swing made me feel like a little kid!

The tent was also very awesome! Little Dax had a great time playing in it...he is going to miss you two more than you know!
