Orioles, camping and studying

A few weeks ago we headed up to Baltimore for Mormon night with the Orioles! We went early and wandered around Inner Harbor and then met up with Justin and Erin for the game. It was such a fun atmosphere.  Green grass with straight lines :) While we were there I saw Elder Beus! My very good friend Kayla's little brother.  It was so fun to see him and send a picture to Kayla. I think she was a little jealous!

Then, last weekend we went camping! We live in the middle of a national park and a campsite is a short 10 minute drive away. We had dutch oven dinner and a lovely camping breakfast (the best part of camping, right?) Benson ate rocks for the first time.  We cleaned up camp quickly and then sent Justin and Erin to the temple.  Once they were done (4 hours later), riley and I went. Four hours later we ran up to CAFE RIO- because they have one here!- and brought it back for everyone to enjoy. It was so worth the drive, and the painful ride home smelling those wonderful smells.

We are lucky that they live so close and get to do fun things together.  Benson has learned a lot lately. It amazes me.  One day he started crawling. The next he waved. Then next he clapped his hands. The next he cut FIVE new teeth. The next he took a three hour nap. The next he slept 12 hours straight. He's a good kid.

Cute things: He waved at a manikin, and at the chorister in sacrament meeting.

I started our picture wall in our bedroom. It will grow...
