The boys experienced their first camping trip this past weekend. I was a little nervous (mostly about how well they would sleep) but the boys did excellent and we all had a nice, relaxing weekend. Adding two little boys & all their stuff in the camper packing job really makes it a whole lot bigger of a job. I packed little by little all week but there are certain things that just have to wait until the day of, so I spent a couple hours Friday afternoon getting everything ready to go.
We went camping on some friend-of-the-family’s land about 30 minutes from our house. My parents were also camping with us all weekend. My sister & nephews came to visit Saturday-Monday morning – so it was a fun weekend with family & friends.
Friday night brought a little rain so the boys were not able to enjoy the campfire at all before bedtime. Sleeping arrangements had Colton on the fold-down table and Wyatt in the Pack ‘n Play (which was pushed up next to the table as a “gate” for Colton). I’m sure this arrangement will have to change over the summer as Colton becomes more mobile but it worked great for us this weekend.
Saturday and Sunday were both pretty nice (with just a few scattered showers) and the boys were able to spend some time outside on our new
outdoor blanket (which I LOVE!) playing. It was a good change of scenery for them from the normal living room/playroom scene. The only trouble was trying to keep them from taking their hats off. Sometimes they acted like they didn’t even notice it was on and then other times they’d rip it off as soon as you put it on – we need to protect those little heads from the sun boys! They also got their first ride on a 4-wheeler with Daddy on Saturday, which they both seemed to enjoy. Wyatt had a big smile on the whole time. Colton didn’t show as much excitement but wasn’t scared of it either. (They also both got another ride with Grandpa or Grandma on Sunday too.) We all were able to enjoy the campfire right before the boys’ bedtime, both Saturday & Sunday night.
They napped well and slept well all weekend – great job boys! We have at least 3 more camping trips this summer already planned so with one successful weekend behind us, I am really looking forward to the rest now!
