I have a problem.

 Hello, my name is Lia and I am addicted to my camera apparently.  I noticed that I was without my camera about halfway across town.  I gasped and the kids asked what was wrong.  I felt like something was missing and I was going to miss something spectacular and miss my chance to get into National Geographic.  I took a deep breath and thought that it would be a good time to practice being in the moment.  No problem. I then noticed I had a problem as I wanted to stop by the store and get a disposable camera.  Whew! 

So, no pictures of a wonderful walk with my group to the sand dunes.  No evidence of the boys playing straight for an hour with other hiking friends.  Nothing to show, but some rosy cheeks and tired boys.  It was amazing. 

 I think the boys liked the package that arrived better than our hike perhaps.  Nam ordered some more "guys" from Cabellas.  They each got a set with a canoe, kayak (and paddles), net, 2 fish, a pole and two guys.  They couldn't contain their excitement. 

They love playing with these guys - they fish, zoom around in their boats and fight alligators. 

They often sleep with their "guys" and they almost always are in the bath tub.  They most often are Bear Grylls and Jeremy Wade...
