So, when we woke up on Sunday, July 5th, Lachlan's face was covered in mosquito bites. I felt so bad for him. When we got out of the tent, the devilish little bugs were just waiting to attack...literally sitting on the tent...waiting...I hate mosquitoes! We just happened to have one bug jacket that Shayne got for me one Christmas. Lachlan was the lucky one who got to wear the bug jacket. But...from the pic above...he would probably disagree on how lucky he was. He was not a big fan! :) But...after seeing all his little bites...he didn't have a choice. I covered up as much as I could as well...it was actually really warm, but the bugs were atrocious so you had to cover any exposed skin!
In fact, while Shayne went and checked out the river and fished, I put Lachlan down for a nap. While he was sleeping, I put on the bug jacket, tucked my hands inside and took a nap in the chair. You should have seen the bugs swarming around my face. But...I had a nice nap. We went on a hike later in the day, and they weren't quite as bad where we went. I'll post pics of that next. But...when we got back to our campsite, there they were...waiting to suck all the blood from us...and the poor dogs!
The bottom two pics are while Shayne was starting a fire to help ward off the mosquitoes and start supper. Lachlan was eating a cracker while hanging out in his bug suit. Shayne was actually so incredibly awesome during this camp trip...he did almost ALL the cooking for us. I was usually fixing food/feeding Lachlan, or trying to keep him entertained and out of the rocks. He is such a good husband/dad!
