Conner's First Camping Trip

Steve got the camper out of Storage this week and brought it home to De-Winterize it. We didn't know when we were going to go camping, but we needed to get it ready. Well, At 11PM Thursday night, we decided we wanted to go this weekend. So we made camping reservations for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at Lincoln. Nothing like making Last Minute plans. Those are sometimes the best. So, Friday afternoon, on Conner's 3 week Birthday, the three of us headed to Lincoln City, IN. We invited Mom, Dad, Steph, Tim, Sophie, and Andrea up for Dinner on Saturday. We had the best weekend. I think Steve and I got more sleep this weekend than we have since Conner was born. It was so relaxing. When Conner slept, we slept. No laundry to do, bathrooms to clean, or grass to mow. We needed the peace and quiet. Other than some Showers Saturday, the weather was just beautiful. Conner did so well camping, we won't hesitate to pack up and go again soon. We realized that this will for sure be the last year for us in this camper. What used to sleep 9 (mostly little people or kids), now barely holds the three of us. There is so much stuff to take for a newborn, we were packed to the gills. We are now pretty cramped, but it is will work for us for the rest of this camping season. When Conner is a toddler walking and into everything, we hope to have a camper with slide-outs so he can roam freely inside without bumping into things. Right Now, It fits our small family perfectly.

Sophie finally figured out what that extra compartment on the back of her stroller is for.

Conner's Umbilical cord stump finally fell off Friday. So that means a real bath, which happened to fall on Saturday. So, what to do, but throw him in the camper sink. He really seemed to like it. He didn't want to hang out there all day, but there were no tears.

Conner caught up on some Z.....Z....'s this weekend.
Oh Wait. He wasn't behind on Z....'s. It is mommy and daddy who are really tired.
The night weather was perfect for cuddling Andrea and her "Little Sister" Tristan
