Eve insisted on carrying this water bottle around almost the whole time. She was a trooper until right at the very end.

On the trail. You really do need a flashlight because there is very little light (and you needed it in the bathroom).

Eve taking me very literally when I said put your light on the ground. I finally figured out saying point your light on the ground so you can see your feet worked much better. A couple of people got a giggle out of her literal interpretation.

Celebration of the First Week of School

We celebrated the first week of school (over a week ago now) by going to the 3 Ps.

Stormy

Stormy found a new sleeping spot. Although I don’t think he has gotten in it since it slipped off the couch and trapped him underneath for a few seconds.
