Spring is in full force here in the Piedmont of North Carolina and we've been enjoying it tremendously. This last weekend we spent a night camping on the Eno River, just 15 minutes from our house. It was great! We hiked about a mile into the woods to our campsite and had a great time exploring and telling stories. This was the first time Hazel had been camping in many months (since she was around 5 months old) and it was very exciting (turns out that settling down in the tent all together on the very slippery fabric of backpacking sleeping bags is pretty hilarious). Lena also had a blast and enjoyed hiking in on her own two feet, carrying her backpack, and telling lots and lots of stories about a couple mischievous squirrels. Here are a bunch of photos we took during our short trip. 
Some turtles communing in "Bobbit Hole".
A beetle Paul became very enamored with.
Lena and Paul attempting to build a boat on Sunday after a big thunderstorm the night before caused the river levels to go up. Here they are before the maiden voyage.
Unfortunately it was a bit "drowny" as Lena put it.
There is that cute little beetle again!
