a very camping birthday weekend

 The day my parents left, Jeff's parents came up to go camping.  Heidi wanted to go camping for her birthday and we have been trying to find the time to go all summer.  Jeff's parents were nice enough to let us share their trailer and that made it so much easier with little ones.  I am sure they were regretting it when the girls took turns being awake all night both nights.  Either way, we had a wonderful time.

Heidi insisted on bringing her doctor stuff and I was glad in the long run that she did.  She played doctor whenever we weren't four wheeling.
 Besides not sleeping well, Savanna was mostly her happy little self.  I was so grateful for the trailer at her age.  Where she doesn't walk yet, she would have been shoving handfuls of dirt and bugs into her mouth all weekend if we didn't have a nice place for her to play.

Since both girls didn't sleep very well, every time we got on the four wheeler they were both completely out.  It was pretty funny.
 Grandpa and Grandma stopped by our house on the way home to give Heidi her birthday presents.  Heidi absolutely adores her grandma and grandpa.
 They got Heidi this pretty new dress, which she was thrilled to wear to church on Sunday.  She looked so pretty, and so grown up.  I seriously cannot believe she is three.  In the last month she has lost what was left of a baby look and looks like such a big girl now.
Grandpa and Grandma also gave her a scooter.  She has had a blast learning how to use it and likes to give Jeff a refresher course every time she rides it.  Between my parents coming, going camping, and celebrating her actual birthday, we feel like we have been celebrating for a week and we have loved every minute of it.  We are so, so, so blessed to have Heidi in our home.  Now can time please just stand still??  It is all just going way too fast.
