Indian Princess Campout

Last weekend, Maddie and Mikos went on their first ever, Indian Princess Campout. Mike was invited by our good friend Larry to join one of the Tribes of the Indian Princesses, a program organized through the YMCA. It is a program for fathers and daughters ages 4-10 and the goal is to bring them closer together through activities and special bonding times. I actually don't know all that much about it other than that they have a monthly meeting where they get together and do tribal activities and a craft and there are several events throughout the year they will do together. The campout is the first of several big events. Mike said it was awesome. He said it was really organized with activities and games and they had a ton of fun with the other fathers and daughters in their tribe. Maddie had such a great time. It was so fun to hear her talk all about it.

It looks like they had a GREAT weekend playing and making new friends and just being silly together. Maddie took the picture of Mike which I think is so cute. It was so strange being home with William by myself. We missed Maddie and Mike so much. The house was just not the same with Maddie gone. I missed her cute little voice that never stops talking and her great imagination. Wil and I actually went up to our friends house (in L.A.) Saturday afternoon and stayed overnight. That was great fun too. Wil got to hang out with his friends Fallon and Fletch. No pictures though cause the camara went with Dad but there is nothing cuter than 3 two-year-olds running around a backyard and house playing with bouncy balloons and riding trikes. Great memories in the making for everyone... especially Maddie and Mike!
