Before we went camping, I went to the grand-opening of the new kid/baby store in town to get some used winter jackets. 18mo, 24mo, 2T--we're set until the snow melts! In fact, we're set until next summer and for a steal! I'm glad I didn't go garage saling this year. But we did have to weave through 100+ other moms (I counted 2 dads) at the grand-opening to get what we came for--thankfully most people came for toys and furniture.
During our 4 hour drive to Tangle Lakes, which is located on the Denali Highway, we stopped at Birch Lake, an hour southeast of Fairbanks.

The boys were unloading wood as soon as we arrived, so of course, our son helped too
Here is a friend's cute daughter, about our son's age,
and her brother, making use of my son's Tonka dump truck.
Conked on the drive home. 5 dogs, 6 kids, 8 parents, lots of campfires and playing with rocks and dirt. We even went on an inflatable canoe ride. Our son and our dog were in heaven . . . and we had a lot of fun too!
