Camping...with a baby!

Camping with a baby was totally not what I anticipated. I thought it would be miserable! SJ did so well and I'm so happy to report that it was a success. So much a success that our play group has now planned a fall camping trip...not really because it went well for us but because we all enjoy each other and enjoy camping. I cannot wait! Anyway, back to this weekend's camping...
My favorite thing to do in the summer while growing up was spend weekends at the lake swimming, skiing, and camping. As I've gotten older I have always worked in at least one weekend per summer of skiing. I LOVE it. This summer I had relinquished any plans of camping/skiing because of Sarah. BUT, my parents bought a boat, Labor Day 2010 set up to be a great weather weekend and my sister and parents wanted to spend the weekend camping. I thought, "well, I'll suck it up and see how SJ does." This is how she woke up after our first night camping...
She slept 10 hours! SUCCESS!

I had a blast! We need to do that more often. It will be so fun next year with the babies.

I'm TOTALLY motivated by this! I really hope it works out for us to all go!!! Crossing my fingers...
P.S. Sarah is too cute.
