Grundy Lake Camping

We went up for a week to Grundy Lake to camp with my family. With some careful planning, we had a good drive both there and back - on the way there we left at 3:30 a.m. to beat the traffic and to let Peter sleep through most of the trip. We got to the campsite before my parents were awake, haha. Aside from a few thunderstorms and some cooler days, we had great weather and were able to enjoy some swimming, canoeing and fishing, as well as relaxation with family around the campfire. Although we didn't see any bears, the next campsite over had a bear visitor two nights in a row... yikes!

He was such a good camper! So was Aunt Danielle :)Mom and Dad
Gorgeous.... I miss it already!

Peter's first experience swimming went very well -
he had a lot of fun and wasn't scared at all

For some reason, he loved having his face smushed up against the screen
in the dining tent - he thought it was hilarious and it sure treated us to
a hilarious view

one day close to the campsite... Peter did an excellent job
paddling through the rapids and bringing Oma home to safety
Although he's not quite crawling yet, Peter is starting to get a bit
more mobile...trying to get his bum in the air, pushing himself around in a
circle, and moving backwards all over the place. Every once in a while
he'll roll over accidentally and this sends him into a fit of despair...
I guess he'll never be a roller. And so the trouble begins!
Getting into the games shelf... I'm going to have to audit the house
for child-friendliness
Here he's wedged himself under a kitchen chair... seems to happen a
lot these days. Doesn't look too upset about it though
