David at 1 year

David Robert turned 1 year old on July 8th, 2012. The day before a whole lot of friends and family braved the heat and humidity to celebrate. The party was at "Maw Maw and Paw Paw's" house and everything was perfect. Everyone who came to "Camp David" was treated to BBQ, homemade chips and camping-themed snacks. The pool held more people that day than it might have ever had.

Thank you to all who helped make the day very special for us and David.

David is always watching you....

Mom couldn't have been any happier

Tons of fun is right!

By the end of the presents, he was getting good at opening them up on his own

David goes to the Zoo

David seems to really like all the things too look at and play with at the St. Louis Zoo. The Sting Rays might be his (our) favorite since he gets to put his hands in the water and splash around. Over the past month, we've been to the zoo 3 times and really working that Zoo Friends membership....

A whole lot of fish to look at!

First experience with the Sting Rays

You gota have your friends when you goto the Zoo, The Ponders ...

... and the Ballards

And sometimes you find some grumpy goats

2nd Annual Orange Pocket Knife Campout

In 2011 the family decided that every April we will go camping as a family in "Dad's Dream". For the first year we went to Meramec State Park. For 2012 we went to Johnson's Shut-Ins State Park and had a blast. We spent Saturday morning at nearby Elephant Rocks State Park. There's a decent 1 mile loop around the cluster of granite boulders that make it a fun trip with a little bit of exercise too. If you need to burn a day, Elephant Rocks is a great place to go.
