Last time we went camping was 3 years ago, when Jonah was right about Benett's age. It was a short lived trip, due to sleeping problems.
Who can blame a baby for poor sleep at a time like this? If you are used to a quiet, warm, and dark room to sleep in, and someone puts you in a bright, cold (or piping hot for naps), noisy, strange place, it's bound to cause problems.
So no shock that our super sleeper was a complete train wreck this weekend. Thus, we headed home after dinner the second night, but we still enjoyed the opportunity and the company.
We made sure that Jonah was able to enjoy the best things about camping at his age:
smores

jiffy pop

mini cereals
(or "wi-toe che-we-ohs" as he calls them)

eating outdoors


relieving one's self outdoors

campfire lounging

and of course,
fishing

Thanks for a fun trip!!. If you had stayed the 2nd night I'm sure Benett and Emma would have kept each other awake all night - as Emma was awake a few times. Still trying to catch up on sleep, but who am I kidding.
I love your pictures from the trip. You really caught the good moments on camera:-)
