Our foraging interest brought us to learning the BIG differences between poisonous hemlock and wild carrot. DO NOT EAT FUZZ. Or do. Darnit, I can't remember (theatrical death cry). Alice sleeps in at the campsite... directly next to, and not on, her inflatable camping pad. She has a tendency to role. Brock is sleeping in too.  Or is he??!?!?! We also went disc golfing. and ate at this CUTE place around the bend from our site. No, no, we did not take a detour to the super creepy haunted forest. no, no, I was wrong, we are in the super creepy haunted forest. WARNING! Scandalous gypsy moths!

 My amazing child creature named Alice has aged! And is a thing of beauty. She had the illustrious treat of her dear Auntie Joanne here (and uncle Jake and cousin Nate).

Here is Alice with her birthday brew. It turns you 5 years old (takes several hours to work). Here is the last photo of Alice as a 4 yr old  The next morning is birthday time and we begin with gifts! A wand from Gdonuts! Alice had eyed this light up bouquet at Medieval Times and I said "no, maybe for your birthday". Then one night I'm out with my girlfriends and someone approached us in a bar and tried to sell them to us. I said no. They said, you heartless cheapo, get them for your daughter. I did not, so they did. Weeee! Hug shuttle gives, and gets, the best hugs! CAKE. And allergies. Allergic to fun? Five?
