Last weekend Jeremy, Justin and I went camping for the first time since Justin was born. We went with Geoff, a friend of Jeremy's from work and Geoff's Mom, who was visiting. We got two sites side by side in Table Rock State Park.

We were short a few things necessary for camping. So, we went to the store and loaded up on all the necessities not already in our possession. For Justin, we bought him his very own kids size Camoflauge sleeping bag and kids size camping chair. I think he liked both.

We weren't sure if Justin would like it or if he'd be bored to death. There were times where I think he got a little bored and started getting into a bit of trouble, but for the most part he really enjoyed being outdoors. 




We brought a bike, ball and a couple little toys for him to play with. The bike was good, but the campground was a bit hilly, so he didn't get to ride it much. At one point we had to run down the hill to stop him before he got going to fast. Same with the ball :) He enjoyed playing with the dirt and leaves, the tent, the fire, and of course Geoff's Mom's dog. We did go to the playground for a little while when Justin was getting a bit restless. I think we all enjoyed it. He also liked to play in the tent and sweep it up, but he did not however enjoy sleeping in the tent. The first night I had a hard time getting him to go to sleep and stay asleep through the night. The second night was much easier...I drove around in the car until he fell asleep then picked him up and layed him in the tent. He stayed asleep through the night and actually slept in a bit.

Jeremy and I still had to watch Justin all the time, but it was nice to relax outdoors for a few days. The bugs didn't bother us at all and it was hot but not too hot. We mainly sat around the fire and talked, cooked, ate and threw anything and everything into the fire to see how quickly it would melt.

The food was my favorite part :) We had hot dogs with chili, pancakes, bacon, BBQ sandwiches, eggs, bagels, and carne asada burritos. Jeremy had lots of fun cooking.

We had a great time and hope to do it again soon.
