Camping

We made our first camping trip as a family of 4 + the dog at the end of April.  Luckily we had gotten a new tent from James' parents for Christmas so we were all able to fit comfortably.  Jillian was at the perfect age for camping it seems.  She never complained despite the falls and lack of nap.  She enjoyed riding her bike down to the bathrooms and playing in the dirt.  Grayson did well also.  He would sit and play with his toys and we he started fussing you knew he was tired and it was easily fixed with a walk around the campground in the stroller to put him to sleep.  The only downfall from the weekend was that it was VERY windy.  I woke up in the middle of the night on Saturday to find that the tent was falling in and was getting very close to where Jillian was sleeping.  I quickly woke up James and they were able to fix it.  It was so windy that 2 of our new tent poles bent but luckily we were able to replace them for free.

Had to rig the tents up to the tree to keep them from blowing down in the wind
