Chapter 121: Camping
Visited Derek's house and had dinner, and then Melissa drove the car, because Zhang Dawei drank some wine, of course he couldn't drive.
Melissa hummed a song and was in a really good mood. Because the music training school she prepared is now in the preparation period, which makes her full of expectations, which naturally makes her feel quite good.
And now it's time to prepare, to get ready to go camping on the weekend, which is definitely a project that Melissa enjoys.
Camping is popular in the United States, and most of the scenic national parks, state parks, and local parks have designated areas for people to camp, and most of them are well-planned and well-equipped.
Many campgrounds have clean water, public toilets and even bathrooms with hot water, and campsites have separate driveways and parking spaces, picnic tables and chairs, fire pits and barbecue grills, and more.
Zhang Dawei did not choose an RV camp or a wooden house campsite, and chose the simplest tent camping site. Although it is relatively not as comfortable as a RV or wooden house, it is not the best time to camp in summer. But since you choose to go camping in the mountains, don't deliberately pursue the quality and enjoyment of life.
And tent camping, the basic conditions will not be so bad.
I didn't choose a quiet and romantic beach camping spot, maybe you can consider it later. But now, it's camping in the Ko Dalen National Forest, and then rowing, fishing, barbecue, and playing games together, and that's pretty much it.
"David, we can take the baby out on more trips in the future, take her to see the waterfalls, see the mountains, and the baby loves the sea. Melissa was in high spirits, packing her belongings, and gushed, "I'm sure the baby will be happy, and our sweetheart loves nature." For her, going to Disney is fun, but even more fun is being in touch with nature!"
Zhang Dawei nodded and said with certainty, "Of course, if we have more experience in camping in the future, we can take the baby to other unique camping spots." Desert-style camping spots, canyon camping spots, or going to the seaside, canyons, ...... I'm sure it's going to be quite fun, and every camping spot has its charm and character, and I'm sure it's going to be fun!"
The baby is happily rolling on the sofa, and the little girl is very energetic now, and she doesn't want to take a bath or sleep. Zhang Dawei naturally knew that the little girl was having a good time, and it was also because Zhang Dawei knew very well about the baby's careful thoughts.
The baby just wants to delay a little longer, although the baby has now developed the ability to sleep alone, but the little girl still wants to sleep with her parents. Babies often take a bath and run to Mom and Dad's room to play games, roll happily, and then naturally get into the quilt, but often are carried away by Mom and Dad.
"Mommy, baby misses you. "The baby who has taken the bath begins to behave again, and the little mouth is very sweet," Mommy hugged the baby and slept fragrantly. ”
Melissa kissed the baby and was very happy, "Let your dad dry your hair, you go and discuss it with him!"
Zhang Dawei was blowing the baby's hair, and the little girl also stretched out her little paws to help her father fix her hair. The baby likes Zhang Dawei's long hair style, and always stretches out her little paws to help her dad straighten his hair.
How good is this, before the little girl can't speak, before the little girl can't walk, this restless little girl doesn't pull Zhang Dawei's hair and doesn't let go. It's a habit to get used to Dad's long hair style.
The baby happily got into the quilt, Zhang Dawei and Melissa did let the baby sleep more alone. But the two of them didn't exactly want the baby to sleep alone, and occasionally they would take the little girl to sleep. The baby is very happy, looking at this little person, Zhang Dawei and Melissa don't feel extremely happy and satisfied!
"David, do you need to bring a bow and arrow?" Melissa was a little curious, a little teasing, "We all know that the safety of the camping area is not much to worry about, but you still need to be responsible for keeping us safe. ”
Zhang Dawei was amused and whispered, "Bows and arrows are not easy to hide, although I don't have a gun license, but I will secretly bring a pistol." The most important thing is that we have daggers, fruit knives, and that is enough. ”
Bow and arrow still forget it, although Zhang Dawei also wants to practice marksmanship well, and is more interested in hunting prey such as teals. But he knew very well that he really didn't have that ability now. For Zhang Dawei, hunting may be better at fighting, if he wants to hunt water ducks and the like, Zhang Dawei needs to continue to improve, and he is not a hunter yet.
Get up close and personal with nature, wildlife at hand, and hiking trails of varying levels of difficulty right at your feet. So whether it is for adults or children, this is really a great help for physical and mental development and cultivating sentiment.
Meimei slept well, prepared a nutritious breakfast, and then set off with Xiaobai and Xiaoqiao. The task of the lazy sheep is very simple, it looks like it prefers to stay in the pasture and run in the grass.
As for Xiaobai, he has to take it with him wherever he goes, otherwise he will definitely lose his temper. Little Joe is clingy, it is definitely a real pet in the family, not so 'maverick'.
Driving off, although there are indeed some camping items at home, but they still need to add a little more; Zhang Dawei and Melissa have already done some homework, and this time is naturally more targeted, they know what is missing, and they know what to add.
Joining Derek's family, who were also ready, the two families didn't think about renting an RV or anything like that, and set off directly to the camping site in the Kodalen National Forest, which is close to Kodalen Lake, because this is the most beautiful scenery.
From the entrance of the park to the campsite, it took nearly half an hour along the winding road, which is also considered to be a relatively deep part of the forest. Since spring has just arrived, the fallen leaves in winter have not yet been fully converted into soil, and the green leaves on the trees are still in the period of preparation, and the whole park looks a little desolate.
But overall the view is good, surrounded by woods and a clean, clear lake in front of you.
The blue sky and white clouds overhead, the dead branches and fallen leaves under your feet, the sparkling waves in front of you, the air is full of earthy smell, and the whole environment is still very close to nature with birdsong and dog barking, which is naturally the fun of camping.
The baby was happy, and when he arrived at the camping spot, he threw himself on the small wooden table, which naturally has no shortage of fixed wooden tables and chairs, because this is prepared for the picnic.
"David, let's get busy!" Derek said he had plenty of camping experience, "Let's set up the tent first, so the kids can take a break when they're tired of playing." ”
It is definitely necessary to set up a tent, not to say that it is necessary to set up a tent when it is time to rest, which is completely different from going into the mountains to hunt; hunting in the mountains is to set up a tent for the night, but camping early to set up a tent can be simply to nest in the tent and take a break.
"Vivien, take care of your brother and sister. But if you have time, you can come and help us prepare lunch, or go and help the two gentlemen set up their tents. Gina laughed and said as she looked at the children cheering and running at the camping site.
Vivien thought for a moment and said loudly, "I don't want to learn how to cook!"
That's what Vivien thought, and even more so Miles, who had already run off to help set up the tent.
The baby girl is now in a dilemma, she wants to help cook the rice, because the baby wants to eat meat. But the baby also wants to help her father, the baby knows that her father is not particularly good at setting up a tent, and if there is no help from the baby, her father will definitely be very sad.
The baby with a frown and a bitter face thought for a moment, and then lowered her head and began to run; this little girl sometimes runs like this, with her head down, her little hands clenched into fists, and she runs forward vigorously, although the speed is not very fast, but it is quite cute.
Seeing the baby running to Zhang Dawei's side, Melissa was not depressed, she said to Gina with palpitations, "Thank God, if the baby comes to help, I will definitely be in a hurry." I'm pretty bad at cooking, and if she comes back, I'm sure I won't be able to do the job. ”
"The baby has an excellent appetite and is envied to see this little guy every time he eats. Gina laughed, she naturally knew the baby's appetite, "But I don't think I need to worry about the baby's weight, she's not fat." ”
Melissa is extremely proud, the baby's little face is fleshy, and the little arms and calves are also fleshy. But it's nothing, it's baby fat peculiar to children, it's not fat!
This is not Melissa's own child's own boasting, Melissa is still truthful when she says this, because the baby is chubby, revealing a cute energy. In the usual physical examination, the baby is not considered fat or needs to lose weight, etc., and the little girl is a wild eater who does not grow meat.
As long as you continue to maintain this appearance, the baby will definitely become the envy of many beauty-loving little girls in the future. You don't need to go on a diet, you can taste the food unscrupulously, and you don't need to worry about your body at all. This is definitely the dream of many beauty-loving girls, but there are not many girls who can do it both ways.
The matter of setting up a tent is not particularly good for Zhang Dawei, but it is not without a clue, seeing that Vivian and Miles are busy, it can be seen that Derek's family has a lot of camping and experience.
When he turned around again, he was immediately happy, and his baby daughter squatted next to him with Xiaobai and Xiaoqiao, holding several tent poles and connecting buttonholes in her hands.
"Baby, give me that pole. Zhang Dawei was happy, he naturally knew the baby's careful thoughts, "Baby, can you be my assistant? If you don't help me, I won't be able to set up a tent." ”
The baby nodded happily, and the little girl's favorite thing to do was to help. The baby is a sensible little girl, she is the best child!
