Harrison found Jeff's hammer this week and after a serious talk about hammers, I found him his own little mallet to use. He loves it and we try to only hammer things outside.
He even found a nice way to hold it since he doesn't have a cool tool belt yet. (but the boots are very handy)
We were supposed to camp again this weekend, but because of illness and other factors, we decided to make it a Saturday trip. So, with Friday night open, we packed a little dinner and played at the park. Harrison loves this park and it has been a while since Daddy was able to come with us.
Then we headed out Saturday morning for Lake Livingston State Park. The plan was to spend some time fishing (a first for Harrison) and then walk some trails and take Harrison's 2 1/2 year pictures. Someone was up too early! Notice Woody and Buzz in one hand and a handful of bait fish in the other.
He was ready to go when we got there. He was quite a natural with the pole and slowly reeling it in. When that didn't work he would call "here fishy, fishy, fishy". I'm surprised it didn't work. We spent a few hours fishing...
and fishing...
and we caught nothing. No one fishing seemed to have much luck. It was an expensive trip too because Harrison dumped most of Jeff's tackle box in the water and most of it sunk and then we lost a lot of hooks and bobbers fishing in the coves. Oh well, Harrison had a good time.
He enjoyed sitting in the grass and watching Ducks, birds, turtles and water snakes. We even had a run in with a few ant hills and Jeff and Harrison have the bites to prove it!
Then after a nice lunch, we headed out to a trail with a butterfly garden, duck pond and bird feeders. We found lizards and all sorts of things along the way. The trail was great and we later found out it was like this to keep people out of the insane amount of poison ivy in the woods. Good thing we listened and stayed on the trail!
We did get some great pictures of Harrison. I'll post those later after I have a chance to mess around with them a little. All in all, our camping trip turned day trip was a success and I got to sleep comfortably in my own bed. How wonderful!
