What an Adventure

This past weekend we decided to take Taft for his first camping trip. It was just one overnight with our friends Dan and Leslie and their 2 kids. Now, in all my years of camping I have always been somewhat of a simple camper...small tent, sleeping bag, a change of cloths. You know, the basics. This is NOT the case when you go camping with a 5 month old! You need pretty much your entire house. If you were to look at our car for this 1 night camping trip you would have thought we were going away for 2 weeks or on a cross country road trip...We are still learning what we absolutly need and what we or should I say T can go without.
The upside to car camping is you can pretty much feel right at home. We ended up borrowing Stephen's parents 6 person tent that was the size of a small apartment. We were able to fit a pack and play, our 2 sleeping pads, mick, all our bags that contained diapers, cloths, food and toys comfortably and still have room for a small coach if we wanted to have a little sitting area...

It was a nice tent!

Taft loved being outside! He pretty much was content to just sit in one of our camping chairs and look at the trees above him. Stephen and I were very proud. We were a little scared that he might hate the great outdoors and then what would we do?

He also loved being around the other kids. Kaelah was so sweet and would always try and give him his toys or play with him.

Over all a very great trip!
