Good Times Camping

September 30, 2007 (2:56 pm) by Erin

Our annual camping trip was great! We had an amazing weekend with clear skies and sunshine. We only did one night this year and it proved to be enough for our kids. Although overall they did great, Ethan had a rough night of sleep on Friday. It got pretty cold at night (low 40’s) and since this little guy is still pretty active when he sleeps he kept rolling out of his sleeping bag and, many times, would end up on the cold tent floor. :( Poor guy. Lucas, on the other hand, did great! He slept so much better than I thought and barely changed positions all night. I guess Ethan should have been in the pack-n-play instead of Lucas. So needless to say, Ethan was pretty tired on Saturday but ended up taking a good, long nap at the campsite in the afternoon.

We spent Saturday eating some great camp food made over the fire and took a walk down to the lake and enjoyed a few games of rings. And of course spending time with good friends is priceless. And we’re already planning our trip for next year… maybe we’ll be able to get in 2 trips. :)

The boys in the morning, brrrr….
