Camping

 We had a ward camp out last weekend! It was our first time camping since Norah's been born. Yes I went when I was 8 months pregnant, sleeping on an air mattress in a tent. I figured I could last one night plus I wanted the family to have the experience. And it was a good experience.

Our camp hosts, the Holleys, were amazing. They fed us and cleaned up after us. Even their daughter followed the kids around so we could set up the tent or relax. We loved getting to know other families in our new ward.

So the night was a little rough. I have my sweet toddler to blame, not so much my mattress. Norah slept for the first 4 hours in her pack in play, but around 2 in the morning she noticed mom and dad sleeping next to her and decided she wanted to be with us (you might be able to tell these photos were taken after we woke up the next morning).

 She got a second wind and thought it was great fun to laugh and roll over on our heads. Daddy wrangled her up in his arms and she was soon fast asleep on top of him. Great that she was asleep. Not so great that Benj had to stay in the same position for the rest of the night.
 Logan was totally loving the freedom of getting dirty and running around. He had a little friend from his primary class there and the two were inseparable. He was a great little sleeper too. Great job Logan!

 It was a beautiful campsite. Its owned by the church and near Kamas called Aspencrest. We hope to go there again and maybe check out some of the hiking trails nearby.

Logan had run off so we didn't get a picture of the 4 of us. Norah was asleep within 10 minutes of driving home and it took us a couple days to recover. 

But we would do it again. We'll see if we're brave next year.
