Let's Go Camping

I had no idea that when I mentioned "camping trip sometime" in my prior post, that it would come sooooo soon. My husband came home early on Friday afternoon and said "Hey, let's go camping!" What????? I personally have not been camping since before the kids have been born . . . . way over 6 or more years ago. In fact, I would say it may go as far back as 8 years. WOW. It's not that I don't like camping, but I have put it off because I figured it would not be fun with little ones to chase around in a public outdoor, cramped up setting. Plus there is the whole sleeping thing with the little tikes. They are used to sleeping in their own beds and how do I explain that sleeping under the stars is much more relaxing? Ha! So, I knew it would mean alot to my husband if I would just go on this last-minute adventure . . . . and it did. On the way, he said "I've just fallen in love with you all over again." WOAH!! That was a pretty sweet sentiment. I didn't know that it would mean THAT much ;-) OK, mushiness aside. . . . our little 2-year old enjoyed walking all over the place and being outdoors, just as we expected. However, he did wake up at 2:30 a.m. and was out of his element, of course. He had a lot of difficulty getting back to sleep; and my husband went in the truck with him and got him back to sleep, off and on . . . . for the rest of the night until daybreak. Then we pretty much came back home. Soooo, it was a one-night adventure. But it was family time and it was an experiment I guess. I can now say that I've been camping with the four of us, in a tent, and sleeping bag!

My camera decided to break just at the start of this entire adventure! I think it's broken for good. :-( Getting a new camera is definitely not in our budget . . . but oh well, maybe we can find a good deal soon. So now I don't have any pictures to share with you of our camping trip. Just imagine wilderness, tent, and dirty kids!
