These Shoes are made for Walking

Whew!  What a beautiful weekend.  On Friday we went camping with my friend CM and her family.  We have made it a yearly tradition.  We started when MAC was the only child, CM has 2 boys now and MAC had a great time playing with them.  This year we went to the Maryland Eastern Shore.

The weather was beautiful and the camp site was really nice.  I think this is our last year of being able to put us all on the same camping pad.  CM's family has a little pop up camper and we have a tent.  This is our third year using the tent.  I was so happy that it didn't rain and that the temperature was agreeable.  I will never forget the year that we went to Deep Creek Lake:  the days were hot and humid with temps around 100 and the nights dropped so low we had to buy a blanket and coat.

MAC took a lot of walks.  The boys liked for her to walk them around the electric ring pushing their stroller.  I think she must have walked the circle 30 times over the weekend!  The boys would go to bed asking for a walk with "Maury" and wake up asking for a walk.  She also "played trucks", and blew bubbles.  She tried to do water gun fights, but the boys didn't have swim trunks and didn't want to get their clothes wet.

I was reminded once again just how good she is with younger children.  I wish we could get her translate that patience to older children and adults, I just don't know how.
