the birthday camping trip
we're back! and pretty tired. *yawn* but isa had a really great time, so the sleep deprivation was worth it. we are glad we motivated to go camping this time of year too, as it won't be too long before it gets awfully cold up there at night. and given that isa doesn't like to sleep under blankets, it would get even more cold for her! speaking of sleep, this time we decided not to bring the pack n' play, as isa refused to sleep in it last time anyway. and while this made for easier packing, it meant that isa had the run of the tent when it came to bedtime. that translated into her playing steamroller for several hours before she finally passed out.
while mommy and daddy could have done without that part, the rest of the trip was great. isa really enjoyed being out and about. she helped us identify whatever she saw on the trail sunday... "rocks. bugs. sticks. trees. flowers." which was entertaining to say the least. we hiked in to a little lake on sunday and enjoyed hanging out and watching people fly fish. isa did her fair share of rock throwing (oh the number of rocks a toddler can throw into water!) and looking for nemo, whom she was convinced must be in that lake somewhere! then we hiked back out and set up camp by the big lake, which meant more rock throwing and nemo searching. all in all a good time was had by all!
you'll see isa's birthday present, a wooden barn with animals, in the tent pictures. we decided to save this gift for a few days and give it to her on the camping trip. this turned out to be a great idea, as it was really entertaining in the tent when daddy was packing/unpacking and the mommy wanted a break.
