This past weekend we went camping with Jacob for the first time. We went to Woods Canyon Lake with Grandma and Grandpa Downs. It was so nice to get away for a weekend. It rained every now and then, but for the most part it was nice. Jacob is getting so big! He's almost 6 months and is so close to sitting up all by himself! He was a great camper and loved the fresh air. I was worried that he might scream and keep the whole campsite up, but he was so good. We hope he grows up loving camping just as much as Matt and me.

On Saturday we went to a wedding and I thought it was a good time to take a family picture. It's so hard to get all three of us together because one of us is always taking the picture. And of course it's hard to get Jacob to smile for pictures. I think he's more interested in the silver shiny thing that's always pointing at his face.

So far this summer we've been able to make it out to San Diego twice. And of course we spent most of our time at the beach. Jacob seems to really like the fresh air, he slept most of time under the umbrella. We tried to splash around in the water with him but he did not like that. I don't know if the water was to cold, or if he was scared of the tiny waves....I don't know we'll try again next time.
