I love camping....I really do...

Well...she's officially a camper! Madelyn did great on her very 1st camping trip at 7 1/2 months old. We went to Sugarloaf lake and camped for 3 nights in a rather large tent. Oooohhhh gosh, I decided tents suck and I won't be camping in another one again. I think I've really only actually slept in a tent once or twice before this week but never minded doing so. The weather wasn't the BEST but it wasn't bad either. The thing that crushed my attitude for tents was the rain. I think it rained twice. One evening it stormed for about 30 minutes. A bunch of us all cramped in my inlaws camper, Madelyn was getting cranky because she was overdue to nurse and all the kiddos were going crazy, acting hyper and getting their dirty nasty feet all over the beds! (haha- i'm a bit of a neat freak) Luckily it wasn't my bed so it could have been worse. The next night it rained again and this time Madelyn was already sleeping in her pack-n-play and we were trying to go to sleep. Of course the baby never made a peep and Robert fell asleep super fast and I lie their wide eyed, scared outta my mind that we were going to be struck by lightening. I seriously was on the verge of tears but it eventually stopped. Nobody understood why I was so scared either......oh well, it's over and we're safe.

Madelyn LOVES the water and splashing herself and watching the kids play. She got a little tan this time from being out so much. It's cute, her belly is so white and her arms have a tint to them. (don't get the wrong idea, I slathered 50 block all over her many times)

She enjoyed taking her bath outside using the spout from Aunt Julie and Uncle Steve's fifth wheel and having an audience of 20+ everytime.

As much as I was ready to get the heck out of there during the rain....it was a little sad packing up on Sunday. We had a great time. Can't wait for next year!
