CAMP'N

We spent the weekend camping and enjoying the BEAUTIFUL weather. I've been looking forward to this weekend for so long, but at the same time was very nervous about how Ethan would do. Every other time we've been camping, Ethan has woken up in the middle of the night and has not been able to fall back asleep. Worried that we'd wake up all our friends, we've ended up driving back home in the middle of the night. Well, it happened again. Friday night I drove back with Ethan around 1am, and Saturday we just went home around 8pm, figuring it would probably happen again, so we might as well just get a good night's sleep at home (which we did not - he woke up there too! At least he only woke me up, not the whole campsite). But aside from sleeping issues, Ethan did AMAZING! He is a natural camper. The boy LOOOOOOVES being outside! He just walked around the campsite, finding rocks, sticks, grass, bugs, etc. (which he surprisingly did NOT eat!). Aside from taking a ball, we didn't really take any toys for him - he was so happy just walking around, enjoying God's beautiful creation!
