So we took our first attempt at Camping in our new camper this year. Karlie is 3, and Luke is 1 year and 4 months. The first night was not that great. It didn't take us long to set up camp being in a trailer is really easy, but the kids would NOT go to bed that night and it was just me, Mom. They finally crashed around 11pm, Luke was up 3 times in the night crying, finally I took him in bed with me and Kar, and he was up at 6:15. Crabby! He wanted to go outside and it was raining, he woke up Karlie, and they were both sitting there crying. Mom loaded them up and we went home, not even 24 hours later! We went home took 3 hour naps (all of us) and took a bath and headed back out. By then the sun was out and all was well. The rest of the week went great! I think they just needed to adjust, its all new to them, its alittle scary away from home, and they loved it! We had a great time. The weather was perfect, dad came to stay a few nights, and even though mom was DEAD tired herself and it is alot of work with 2 little babies, it was all worth it. The worst part: coming home and cleaning up and getting back to life! I could sit by a campfire all night long!
It was great spending time with my kids alone, playing, riding bikes, going to Arts and Crafts fair, getting icecream, walking the pier and watching the fishermen....Just soaking up the beauty of this earth and all the Lord has blessed us with. I can't wait to do it agian!
