Happy 18 months Oren!

it's so hard to believe.

camping!

The spring weather has been trouble, but this past weekend felt like summer is finally here (but of course it's raining again as I type). We camped out at the coast with friends Shem & Noelle and their little boy Elijah and it was absolutely gorgeous! Cape Lookout state park is really beautiful, but don't say I didn't warn you that if the sun is out you'll need the sunscreen. not much shade in our campsite...
