Six families from our Sunday School class went camping together last night. We have never been with the kids, so I was hopeful and thought much of the time would be fun, but knew sleep could be non-existent.
We got out there and set up our tent. Isabella couldn't figure out that if she went in the tent she would have to take her shoes off, and then put them back on. We only did that 10 times. And then she promptly had an accident all the way down to her shoes. Thankfully we still had her pool socks in the car. Isabella loves her new sleeping bag and was very excited to sleep in it and to eat hot dogs which was her mantra as soon as the tent was put up.
Zach stayed up later than usual, but I fed him and he went right to sleep in the pack-n-play. Isabella ate 4 marshmallows and played with the other kids, but went to sleep easily while listening to her VeggieTales on the portable speakers and iPod. Zach started "talking" at 4:45 a.m. and of course Isabella woke up. I couldn't feed Zach back to sleep, so we talked and played quietly in the tent, trying to not wake Daddy. Isabella finally got antsy so we got out and got dressed, Zach had food, we went to the bathroom, and discovered others of our friends had awakened. We enjoyed breakfast burritos by the fire and despite the somewhat short night, called the trip successful.
We are looking forward to going again. Happy Birthday to me. I'm sure Chris will be posting some photos.

We're glad it went well. (Relatively!) I'm sure you all made wonderful memories to cherish for years to come. Thanks for sharing some of them with us.
Sounds like you all had a great time minus sleep but building memories are more important sometimes than sleep. Glad you had a good time.
