Roughing it...kind of.

Recently we went camping, in a TENT, with a BABY.  Have we lost our minds, you might ask? Yes, probably.  The weather was actually quite nice which helped tremendously.  Why is it though you go camping to relax yet you come back more tired than you were when you left? It was extremely relaxing but it's just so much work.  Putting up a tent, gazebo, air mattresses, hauling tubs of food, gas tanks for the stove, a mini fridge, chairs, tables, fans, fishing poles, tackle boxes and coolers is not what you really think about when you want to relax.  Once camp was set up though it was great.  Dustin only got to stay two nights and had to go home the third night since he had to work.  Of course the day Dustin isn't there she was extremely fussy and cutting her second tooth (wooo whooo!).  Thank goodness I had my mom and step dad and sister there to help me out.  Overall, the trip was great but I've decided next time I'm renting a camper fo' sho'!

 Pick A Boo.  I see you!

My nephew "BoBo".  His name is Ethan but if you say that he will for sure correct you and say "No! My name BoBo!"

Couldn't have asked for a better weekend.  I'm telling you, we have had the busiest summer ever.  It has been packed full of fun weekends.  I am so ready for it to slow down though.  We leave for the beach next Friday so only one trip left until a slower pace.

Do you like to camp?
How do you camp? Roughing it or a Camper?
