Ray is another year older (although he won't admit it)

For Ray's birthday we went camping. He's been wanting to go camping all summer so it seemed like a pretty good birthday activity. Since it was Labor Day weekend there were a ton of other people who had the same idea, but we still managed to find a cool campsite. Per usual camping mishaps, at least for me, we managed to forget a few things we needed. But I guess that's the fun of camping, you have to make do. The girls had fun. We randomly ran into some friends of ours. It was a good trip.











Ruby's camo hat works pretty good, if she had the rest of the outfit to match, you probably couldn't see her:

Since we were camping I didn't get to Ray's cake until a day late, but I still made one:
Now, if you're looking at this and thinking, "What kind of a cake is that? It just looks like a pile of junk." Well, thank you, that's exactly the look I was going for. If you weren't thinking that, just what did you think I was going for?

And if junk on a cake doesn't make any sense to you at all, go here for a moment and see if you can figure it out.

Happy Birthday Ray!!! Thanks to the link about the cake - it all makes sense now. And that camo hat did work well!! Maybe you can post some pics of "where is the baby?" when she has the entire outfit on!

What a beautiful area for camping! How fun. I hope Ray had a happy birthday!

Yup. I can totally tell he is a year older. He totally looks it. From the last photo your posted of him to this one ... He has aged. You should tell him. Maybe he can use some anti-wrinkle night cream or something ... ;)

I love the cake. Nice website, too. And that is a beautiful campsite. For a moment, it made me want to go camping, then I remembered that I don't love dirt...

Cute camping pics!

And hey, I won't be admitting I'm a year older in a month either...

Those chocolate donuts on the cake look very tempting. Why am I so far away?
