Brad and I decided to take the kids camping and we invited his parents to come with us. We went up by Stawberry Reservior to a spot called Renegade. We laughed as we pitched the tents cuz Bob had this old tent he said he got when he was just out of high school, they dearly named The Legend. It had a big hole in the bottom for his pole when he went ice fishing and a big hole in the side from an apparent fire when ice fishing. Greg, Colby and Nathan got to be the sleepers in the legend, well for half a night. The next morning I get out of our tent and Greg is on the ground next to another tent a few feet away from his own and Nathan is in his sleeping bag under the tables next to the fire pit, both with many complaints about the noisy sleeping partner still left in the tent. Wyatt was the best helper in setting up the tents, mostly because it required the use of a hammer!
Brad, his dad and brothers all took their pontoon boats for fishing but it seemed that everytime they tried to go out it got really windy and the lake was too choppy. Brad took the girls fishing off the shore and they rode the wheelers and explored the mountain area we were at, colored pictures and played with their dolls.
Wyatt did pretty good. The first night(his first ever not sleeping in his crib)he didn't want much with sleep. He didn't cry but he was all over the place, and maybe slept for a total of 3 hours. The second night he did better and fell asleep pretty fast, couldn't have anything to do with the fabulous nights sleep the night before. But then he woke up in the middle of the night and decided that his sisters were great targets sleeping next to him. He would say, "sis eyes" and proceed to poke them in the eyes and once when I thought he was asleep I turned out the light and then could hear the rustle of his bag and turned the flashlight back on and he was halfway across the top of the tent on his way to Emma. He is a Hyde and therefore-not the least bit quiet and wanted to know where everyone was in the pitch black. Hopefully the other campers didn't mind the little toddler voice asking where Daddy was sis were all night long.
It was a good trip and the kids had fun...I think I'll still take a stay in a hotel over camping...
