Camping

This weekend we went camping for the first time in our marriage! We went with some of our friends from church and celebrated Emma's 9th birthday. Abby thought it was so wonderful to be outside with friends for so long! I brought my camera but unfortunately the battery was dead so here are some pictures from my phone. Here we are in the morning with Abby hanging out in her stroller next to our tent.


We fit our air mattress and Abby's Pack 'n Play in the same tent. Abby went to bed at 9pm but when we came in at midnight she woke up and wanted to sleep with us for the rest of the night. She woke up at 5am with her diaper soaked through. We had to change her whole outfit as she screamed from the cold. We stripped the blanket off the air mattress and John took Abby for a walk to calm her down. Sorry to all the families who had to hear Abby. Thankfully, she went back to sleep until 7:20am when we got up and had a community breakfast of breakfast tacos, pancakes and fruit. Yum yum! Abby loved to crawl in and out of the tent.



Abby ran around in her pajamas and acted like she owned the place.


Thank you to Kellie who watched Abby for us while I went wakeboarding on Friday and then left to play softball in our co-ed league. Abby loves Kellie so much that she prefers Kellie and calls her Mommy even when I'm around. On Saturday morning, we took Abby for a boat ride on the Gonzales' boat. I'll blog about that later with a video and some pictures. It was quite the ordeal. More to come!

Love all the updates. Glad to see John is still stark white, and Abby is still a go getter. Cute family!!!

Abby's first camping experience. Yeah, rough sleeping, but great way to start fun memories. How great that you have such good friends and Abby loves them too.
