CAMPING!

We went camping last weekend with Christopher. Our first camping trip with him. We went to Saratoga Springs (about 1 1/2 hours north). We went with David and Jackie Smith and their two munchkins Asha (3 1/2 and Aiden 1 1/2). There were a couple other visitors that came and went.

We arrived late Friday night. We pop our two-bedroom tent, got the mattress blown up and I put Christopher down. He slept all night till 6:30am. Perfect start...

We played Saturday at the camp site, the kids played, the adult tried to make coffee and breakfast. Later while mommy and junior took a nap the rest of the group hit the pool. For dinner Jackie had made brisket that had been slow cooking on our camp site fire all day. YUMMY....

Christopher when down at his normal bedtime, out by 8pm, up at 6:30am. He only woke up when our car alarm when off right by our tent. Oh... 2 feet from his crib...

We had a great time... and will definately be camping with Christopher again.

It was so warm and muggy. I could only get him to sleep in his diaper and on me. Not good habits but it was too hard to get up without waking him up.. not worth the risk.

Plus I needed the nap.
