SoJam
Last weekend we went to Raleigh to spend the weekend with Megan and Tim. Megan and I went to SoJam (an a cappella music event). This picture Megan made tells the story better than I could:
Camping
We finally got a chance to take Keely camping. We'd bought a nice tent last year, but it got too cold immediately afterwards so we never got to use it. So we finally planned a 1 night camping trip fairly locally, just in case Keely didn't handle it well. We drove up there (about 1.5 hours) and set up camp. The campgrounds were fairly grounded and it is just not the kind of camping I grew up doing. You know, with people around.
Well then we realized that we'd left our down comforter at home. Keely had a nice warm sleeping bag, but we had planned to use the comforter and we were left with no blanket. It was supposed to get really cold that night. Thankfully one of my friends lives fairly close (about 30 minutes from the campsite) so I went down and borrowed some blankets (thanks Janis!).
Keely and I spent some time in the must have hammock.
After dinner we roasted marshmallows. We told Keely it was her choice how cooked she liked her marshmallows. It ended up with her leaving them in the fire for about 2 seconds and then proclaiming them done. I think she just wanted to eat marshmallows. :)
These are the things we found in the little pouch over Keely's sleeping bag. This is what she thought was worth bringing/keeping. Two bracelets, a plastic spoon, a rubber spider, 2 lego candles, a leaf, and a superman ring. Love that girl.

First Ice Cream Cone
While Keely has had ice cream several times she'd never had it in a cone until my dad visited in September.
At first she wasn't sure how to handle it. She kept asking for directions.
But she soon realized she loved it!

Swimming!
I'm still working on catching up. Sorry.
This summer Keely took swim lessons with Ms. Kindall. It was great. After about 8 lessons she was swimming underwater by herself. Keely loves swimming. She would swim all day if I let her! We've been going to Lenoir City's covered pool about once a month just so that she doesn't forget how much she LOVES swimming and how good she is at it.
This video is from mid-July after about 6 lessons.
These two are from mid-August near the end of her lessons.
