Camping

Friday night we went car camping with some friends and had lots and lots of fun. We went to a place not too far away, it was great, you could hear the insects humming, babies crying, cars zipping past on the freeway, an ambulance here and there....you know the usual camping noises. So, it was Sadie's very first camping experience. She loved being outside, crawling around on the grass, eating twigs and trying to crawl into the fire, but she HATED the tent. hmmm..... Everytime we'd go near the tent to try and put her into her bed (pack-n-play), she'd scream like crazy. Really, she just absolutely hated the tent. We tried so many times to rock her and get her so sleepy that she'd forget where she was but everytime we'd lay her in, she be okay for a second and then she'd remember! and she'd cry and cry. So eventually after lots of trying, we brought her out and let her hang out by the fire. Her eyes were as big as saucers she was totally zoned from no sleep. Around 11pm we were finally successful with getting her to sleep and were pooped ourselves so we all hit the sack. The night was fairly uneventful and we woke to a tasty breakfast of pancakes, hot dogs, and smores. mmmm delicious. Hopefully we'll be doing that again sometime soon!
