Camping Fun!

We survived our first camping trip with Drew! What a weekend it was, but we had a lot of fun. We went camping with most of the Christensen family. The weather was beautiful, nice and cool. We camped just past Christopher Creek and it was a perfect area for our big family of 20! Drew had fun but got frustrated having to be held a lot and not having the freedom to explore. The only time we let him down on the ground was when he played with Julie's toys she brought...thank goodness she brought her toys. It allowed Drew to have a lot of fun. We now know of a few things Drew needs for Christmas. So, we brought up a big tent and a pack and play for Drew to sleep in. The only problem was Drew would wake up to any noise and we finally couldn't get him to go back to sleep in the pack and play, so I tried to lay him next to me and he was out. So, Drew slept next to me the whole night and everytime he woke up from a noise I would just put my arm on him and he would go right back to sleep. I was hoping he would sleep in because he went to bed late and woke up a lot but he was up at 6 AM. But that's OK. My favorite part was roasting marshmellows and making Smores! I think Ryan's favorite part was having fun keeping the fire going, he loves to play with fire. We took off pretty quick after lunch so Ryan could go to the Priesthood session of Conference. Next time we have a campout, hopefully we won't be in such a hurry to get home and we can have a little more fun!
