1st Annual Dahn-Frigard Camping Excursion

At the end of June, the Dahn-Frigard clans headed out on the road for our first camping trip together! We had been anxious to camp with the girls, but were waiting for the "right time" with the girls (ie past the baby stage). It was an amazing time, complete with football, soccer, scavenger hunts, lakes, S'mores and the minor catastrophe of a tummy bug for Peyla. Aside from the obvious trauma of late-night vomiting in a small tent, it was a success!! We will definitely be going next year.

 Home sweet tent...
 Adventurer Aneka!
 Treasure hunting...
 I think she found a bullet casing...aka "gold".
 My little explorer.
 Sweet Ava girl!
 Off for a nature walk.
 Is it me or does she look like a pint-sized rugby player? Mud and all!
 This picture reminds me of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants! lol
 The little ones trying to keep up.
 I love how these girls love and protect each other...truly a family!
 "Uh ohhhhh...YUUUCK!"- Ali after stepping in lake mud.

Torreon With Grandpa- June 2014

We spent a wonderful weekend up at "Papa's cabin" recently with Grandpa Gary and the girls. He is such a wonderful grandfather, never shorting on energy or attention for these kiddos! We enjoyed the much cooler weather and spent almost the entire time outdoors! Pure bliss. Thanks Grandpa!
 
 
 Grandpa finagled two golf carts for us to "toodle around".
 Peyla was thrilled to be behind the wheel for once.
 Next stop- playground!
 Freedom is swinging through the air!
 Peyla is able to use the bigger swings now.
 

 These two can play for hours together!

 Tire swing!

 Hanging out by the pond...
 we found a friend!
 My little crawdad.
 I introduced her to a dandelion...
 it held her attention for about 5 seconds!

 Grandpa's girls!
 "I'm the King of the world! Part Deux"


 My little thinker...wonder what's going through that beautiful mind...
 
 Don't know, I just loved this shot.

 Here comes the ice monster! A la Frozen!

 Aaaack! He's really good at this role!
Just because. :)
