Camping With Children

Cold weather, fussy baby, lost and found diaper bag (which included my wallet!) were my only complaints.

The first night was murder. So cold. Despite bringing every blanket we owned, we couldn't get warm. I could hear my grandmother in the back of my head repeating over and over, "this is wrong, you shouldn't have a baby out in this weather. When we made our reservations the week before it was in the 80's. Around midnight I ran to Wal-mart to buy a $90! electric blanket. So much for saving money on camping for vacation.

My attitude improved with the weather. My husband did all the cooking as usual. I only had to sit and hold the baby. Surprise, he did think to bring the stroller! Yeah! With my hands free and every one warm, I was able to have some fun. We went canoeing, hiking and fishing.

The trip was a success. We all got home in one piece and all were happy.
