For Teagan's 5th birthday, Jeff and I decided to let him choose an adventure that he'd like us to take him on.
He had his choice of 4 things for his special day:
1) the zoo
2) the apple orchard
3) a train ride
4) camping by the fwreek (i.e., creek) in their backyard
Without hesitation, he chose to go CAMPING!! So we waited for a free weekend, and we set up camp in the Hayes's backyard...
Renee even drove down from Muncie to join us. We had hot dogs, smores, and hot chocolate around a blazing fire! It was a blast! Well, until we had to step away from the fire to go to bed...it was sooooo cold!!! Jeff took Noah home to sleep in a nice warm house, and Tara, Tayman, Taylan, Teagan, Renee, and I toughed it out in the tents. That next morning, before 7 a.m. we were all up and ready to make a mad dash for the house! Overall, it was a lot of fun, and I know we definitely created some lasting memories! :)
What more could a little guy ask for?!?! Aunt Nay stayed the whole weekend (even after our freeze-out-camping-adventure). What's really funny is that she had made Noah two little "wave" bottles of his own, with buttons and a oil/water mixture inside...but he still goes for her Dt. Dew bottles every time!
