We just got back from a 4 day camping trip at St. Charles Campground with most of Brad's family and our friends Calvin and Julie. We had a great time and can't wait to do it again. Camping pregnant? Yes, I did and it really wasn't much different than camping not pregnant cause we had a nice comfy air mattress. There were swarms of mosquitos everywhere and I seemed to be the only one to be full on attacked with bites. Brad had 1 bite, Parker had zero and I walked about with about 40! Lucky me, maybe they are attracted to pregant blood or something.
Brad is making a weird face, but I had to post this cause it is Parker's first official pair of bunny ears in a photo. I didn't even notice Brad was doing it until I downloaded all the pictures to the computer. Silly Guy.
I cropped Brad and I out of this picture so you could see Parker up close. Irresistable! CAUTION: Child in picture is not as innocent as he appears.
I honestly LOVED Bear Lake. There weren't any mosquitos there at all. It had sandy beaches perfect for children. The water is super shallow at the beach and takes a while to get deep so I could just sit on the shore and watch Parker play with out any worries.
This is what Parker does when I tell him to smile.
Nothing sexier than a man in waders. Give me a piece of that. OK, maybe not so sexy but Brad had such a great time fishing in the little river at our campsite. He caught a good amount of fish and enjoyed spending time with his brother, Dad and his friend Calvin(the one in the picture).
Also, while we were there, all the women threw me a little baby shower. They gave me some more maternity clothes (which I really needed) and a few outfits for Garrett. This was such a nice surprise. It made me feel so loved. Thank you so much Allison for thinking of it.

What a fun trip. Good sport Em! I love Bear Lake, I'd buy a house there if it didn't snow in the winter. I love the pictures and as always I can hardly stand it cause Parker is so adorable. What is Garrett going to look like? I can hardly wait to see. We love you!
Emily! How fun! You're such a great sport to go camping that far along! Although, blow-up mattresses aren't what they used to be! They can get pretty "deluxe" nowadays! I'd love to go to Bear Lake and do some camping! PS I Tagged you. :) See my blog for more details (but only if you want to!)
What a fun trip! We went to Bear Lake last summer and it is so beautiful!
Love all of the cute pictures. Parker is looking so grown up with his longer hair... I love it. He is so darn handsome.
You look wonderful by the way. Not that you dont always.
That bunny ears picture is hilarious! You can tell that Brad is concentrating way too hard just to hold up two fingers!
I miss you Emily! I'm so happy for you that your family is growing. Literally at the moment! Does this mean you're having a boy named Garrett? I'd be so excited to know we're both mommies of two boys!
