Larry and I used to go camping a lot before we had kids and it hasn't been something we have felt comfortable doing with the kids just yet. Now I know why. My girls have never slept well during the night as infants so that was out. Just when we thought Ashley could handle it (and Mom) our little Hailey came along. Hailey is all about her night feedings so the thought of me trying to get a bottle ready in a tent while not waking Ashley and Larry seems a little crazy. Larry and I are both really wanting to get back into it though (of course I would much rather have a luxury hotel room!).
Larry put the tent up in the back yard this weekend - went all out - air ma tress and everything. Had a handful of flashlights, sleeping blankets, etc.. Well of course the first time all year we actually had evening thunderstorms! Ashley is terrified of thunder. So we thought OK this will pass. Then we realized the sprinklers had gone off. So Larry switched out the wet sleeping bag for a bunch of comforters. Finally thought it was safe. I walked out with them, gave lots of reassuring kisses as the thunder started again.
It lasted 8 minutes - as Larry said "she did better then a bull rider on a bull"
We hope to try it again next weekend!
