Memorial Day weekend we went camping with the Walker side of our family for a few days up on the Rim. It was COLD! We camped at a new spot we have never been to before and it was the best for a pregnant mom with a 14 month old baby.! Why you might ask? Because there was a giant grass field for Paige to play in with the dogs and basically no one else around.
I've come to the conclusion that nights/sleeping while camping are just always going to be awful when you have littles. The first night I slept maybe 3 hours and it was either in Paige's tiny pack n play with her or on a small bench in a trailer right next to her. Thankfully it was toasty warm in there! :) The first morning, Paige woke up at 4:45am. Yikes! We "tried" to sneak out of the trailer but there is no sneaking when you have a baby and 3 dogs (two of which are 7 month old energetic puppies) all trying to play. I spent the morning cuddling Paige by the fire and I must admit, I think that was my favorite part of the whole trip. If you know my child, you know she doesn't sit still... hardly ever! She must've sat on my lap for close to an hour and half then fell back asleep on me.
I think this was my favorite camping trip I've been on since being married to Colton. We went on little walks, played baseball and fetch with our dogs, watched Paige explore, rode the quads (which Paige was a HUGE fan of!), ate way too much junk food and delicious meals.
Special thanks to my sister in law and her husband Pat for letting us sleep in their trailer and invade their personal camping space. I'm getting spoiled, I might never sleep in a tent again!
Thanks to all the men and women who have served and do serve our country to protect us!
Happy Memorial Day everyone.
