Daddy--Daughter Weekend

Carrie and Alex flew home to Salt Lake this weekend, leaving Dad, Abby, and Katie back home in St. Louis. We felt bad that we got ditched, but decided to make the most of our lot in life. The girls and I had a fantastic time together . . . and I accumulated a substantial number of points towards my future flyfishing expedition (at least that's what Carrie says!) Here is the evidence of the fun times we had:

Sleeping in front of the fire in our sleeping bags on Friday night

After setting up the sleeping bags and pads, Abby said, "this is way more
fun than I thought it was going to be with you, Dad!"




On Saturday we went to the Powder Valley Nature Center. Abby's favorite part was the animal puppets, Katie the "big green frog," and Daddy the large fish tank full of largemouth bass!



We had fun, just the three of us. But, we all can't wait to have Mom and Alex back home!

It looks like you had a really fun time and its going down in history now that you blogged about it! Your new family photo looks great (even if Alex isn't too happy about it.)
