Camping

So last weekend was the Ross's family reunion. It is up at Bear Lake and its always a lot of fun. However, this is the first time Anna has slept in a tent...or should I say tried to sleep in a tent. The first night was a nightmare. She cried so hard when we put her down for bed. After TWO HOURS we went on a drive to get her to sleep and then put her to bed. She woke up wailing 2 hours later and then again 2 hours later. I think she would wake up and not know where she was at. She ended up sleeping with Ross and I, but still had a hard time.

Taking naps was even hard to do. Every time we got close to the tent she would scream. But the second night was much better..we just let her sleep in her car seat (in the tent), but she didn't wake up once. By the end of the weekend, she was exhausted...and so were we. But it was good to see all of Ross's family and we still had a good time.

Here is Anna NOT taking a nap.

Anna didn't like the sand too much. After a few seconds she ended up liking it a whole lot though.

She loved the lake. She just sat there and splashed in the water for the longest time.

I think she had a hard time too because she is used to crawling and rolling around everywhere, which is hard to do outside. So we would lay down our towels or sleeping bags to let her play on...but it just wasn't the same for her.

Ross's cousin Lauren was Anna's personal babysitter - Lauren wanted to hold her and Annabelle was having a good time; so was I :)

The kids all do tie dyed shirts as an activity...Chelsea made a shirt for Annabelle and Danica...but Ross didn't get a pic of them together. I will have to get one and post it...it's pretty cute. By the way, little 2 week old Danica did much better at camping than Anna. Oh well!
