Visiting Daddy @ Camp Fife

July 18 - July 20 2011

Eithan and I just arrived home today from visiting Collin at Camp Fife.

We left on Monday afternoon, and arrived at camp just in time for dinner.
We didn't really do much that first night,
except get unpacked and settle in to sleep.
{It was wonderful being able to cuddle with the hubby for a while.}

Tuesday Collin gave us the grand tour.
We visited almost all of the areas.
{swimming, forge, horseback riding, nature, scout craft}

Collin giving Eithan the tour...
and relieving me from having to hold him.
{sigh... it was wonderful}

We were able to pet some horses.
{Although this one is actually a mule.}

-I love that you can see Eithan reaching out to touch the mule.
He didn't really 'pet' the mule per se, more like grabbed at it.
Still cute none-the-less.

Later that same day, Eithan rode a horse all by himself!
I held him onto the saddle and the horse keeper led the horse around.
Eithan LOVED it!
He giggled and smiled the whole ride.

He also licked the horn {the front part of the saddle},
and decided it was better to sprawl on the saddle then sit up.
He looked like a little jockey while he was sprawling.

These adventures pretty much made up Tuesday.


We left this {wednesday} morning after breakfast.
Here is Collin saying his goodbyes to Eithan.

I know.
It's adorable.

We love our daddy!

We were sad to leave him, but happy to get back to civilization.
We only have 2 1/2 more weeks left.
Then we will be reunited for a long while.

  1. You can do it. You can do it. It can definitely be hard to be separated from your spouse...been there, done that! I bet it's even more difficult with a baby! You're such a trooper.

    I'm glad to see all of the updates. Eithan is looking so cute, as always.
