Fructooligosaccharide?!?

My mom bought some baby special DHA baby food and Eva hated it. Apple delight, I think was the name. Since this was the very first food she refused, I checked the ingredients and fructooligosaccharide was the third (!) ingredient. Beech nut baby food is officially on my s**t list! Ewwww!!!

Glad to see my daughter has descerning taste :)

Back from the Trail

Well, we had a great time on the Rubicon! The kids did great. You can see from the pictures how much Darren hates the outdoors. Notice how Daddy is holding Eva’s hand while she sleeps…Awwww!

Eva’s favorite part was the shiny grommet on the tarp that was keeping her dry. It was quite rainy, and yes, we even got some close calls with the thunder and lightning. We were well prepared though, with our nice new tent and an easy up, so we kept nice and dry. I actually like going when it's rainy, because there is so much less company on the trail. I even got to drive for awhile! I couldn't reach the pedals in our old CJ-5. Can’t wait to do it again!

Off to the Rubicon

I am looking forward to a weekend of camping and bouncing around in the jeep! The forecast is for thunderstorms, but I'm not going to chicken out at this point. (If I get struck by lightning, just know that's the way I would have wanted to go. Drink Sierra Nevada at my funeral.) I'm pretty sure it will just mean more mud puddles for Darren to take advantage of.Luckily, I'll have my car at base camp, so there will be escape in the case of flood and/or frightened kids.













These pictures are from last fall. Eva actually came with us, but had a much cushier ride inside Mama's belly!
