Our camping adventure

This past weekend we went camping.. and we took Jonathan! It was a blast. He love being out doors so we had no problems. As we packed up the van I realized I probably over-packed for Jonathan, Nathan would said I DEFINITELY over packed. I brought:

pack n' play

swing

stroller

Bumbo chair

2 diaper bags

feeding bag and the

chest carrier

Needless to say, I USED THEM ALL!!!

I set up out huge tent nice a neat. The front half was Jonathan's side. I had the pack n' play on one side, a chair and the swing on the other side so I could nurse him if he woke up. On the back side we had out 2 cots pulled together to make one big bed and our suitcase. (I wish I had a picture of this!) It was a nice little homelike set up. I wish I could say it stayed that way the whole night.

We had a HUGE rain storm that night. As it turns out, our tent is not as waterproofed as we would like... it's not water proofed AT ALL. I woke up with Nathan saying 'I'm getting dripped on". So we looked around, sure enough, one small drip above him. No big deal, right? We moved the cots over more and put a towel there. A little while alter we noticed one corner of the tent had water building up and roof was sagging. Now I'm getting worried. Nathan used the flashlight to push the water off and we went back to bed. A little while later Nathan turned the flash light on again to check the other corners. At that time Jonathan was in his swing. AND right above him the water was pooling and the ceiling was sinking it. I quickly jumped up and got him out of the swing and put him in the pack n' play. Of course he woke up... bummer. After getting him back a sleep I tried to sleep, but of course I needed to go to the bathroom, so I got the umbrella and make the trek to bathrooms... stepping in just about every puddle there was.

Finally back in bed, I thought I could get more sleep. Boy was I wrong, I heard drips. I looked up and water was dripping onto Jonathan, so I pulled the crib closer to me. He stayed dried the rest of the night. Unfortunately, I had a drip over me. Now at this point, the walls were seeping in water and the floor was flooded because the water was coming up through it as well. I didn't have anywhere else to move, so I slept with the drips. We woke up at 12:15 from the rain, and it stopped raining at 3, and Jonathan got up at 5. LONG NIGHT!!

But besides the night it was so much fun. Nathan and I went biking with friends of ours 5.6 miles. And the two families went for a hike to town (Fish Creek in Door County). It was a long walk, but fun. Oh yeah, I did fall of the bike within 1 min of getting on, twisted my ankle, but it's okay now. My parent's loved having Jonathan with them.

Our parents took us and our friend's to Wilson's Ice cream place to celebrate our anniversaries. Theirs is only a few days before ours.

Jonathan did great, he loved looking at the trees, and loved laying on the blanket with toys and he's friend Gabby!

We left Saturday night because it was suppose to rain again... and we bought a new tent Sunday for our next camping adventure in 4 weeks!
