Scout Camp/Swimming/Lucas Talking

The following week after we got back home, Craig went to Scout Camp, which is about 20 minutes from our house. It doesn't take very long to get to a forest here, we are in the middle of no-where sorrounded by trees, lots of trees! While Craig was at Scout Camp, Lucas and I decided to play, alot! We went swimming up at Whipple Dam with some friends. It took Lucas sometime to get use to the water, as first he wanted to just play in the sand, but by the end her would sit at the edge of the water, shovel in hand, digging in the sand. He enjoyed taking a shovel full of sand dumping it on his head, his head was full of sand by the end.

Later in the week we went with our friends down to Ephrata. On Friday's they have this huge farmer's market, where they sell pretty much everything, from fresh produce, pastries, candy, meat, to jewlery, bags, shoes, clothes. We had fun strolling around with three little people and two strollers. We also went to the Hershey Outlets and made a stop at the Children's place to get some clothes for Lucas for next summer.
By the end of the week Luas and I were pretty exhausted and as it turned out Craig was pretty exhausted too! We had a pretty lazy, uneventful Saturday! Though exhausted, Craig seemed to have enjoyed Scout Camp. With the help of some other scout leaders, Craig won the Scoutmaster dutch oven contest for his peach cobbler, and yes his Peach Cobbler is really, really good!

Craig was able to come home for a couple of days during Scout Camp. The day he came home, Craig went and sat on the couch. Lucas went to the couch looked up at Craig and said, "Hi Dada". It was the cutest thing ever.

Lucas has been doing a little bit of talking lately. A few days after we got home from our trip Craig was trying to tell Lucas he couldn't play with the curtains. Lucas backed up against the sliding door, looked at Craig and said, "What?" We have also been hearing, "What's this?" and "That?" numerous times during the day. Lucas continues to do our favorite things which is when he babbles and then stops and laughs to himself, like he has just told a funny joke.
