Camping

The weather here in KC has FINALLY turned nice....actually BEAUTIFUL!  So, my hubby and I decided to take advantage of the holiday weekend and pull out the tent.  This is the first time we have camped with LO, so we kept it close to home....really close...the back yard.  We learned a number of things:

#1....Fire is FASCINATING....LO loved looking at the fire...so much so that she didn't want to go to sleep. :(
#2....Queen size air mattress...not big enough for LO, Mommy & Daddy to be comfortable on :(
#3....air mattress FUN to crawl on.
#4....I am so glad that for the first time camping we decided to stay in our own back yard....at 4:00a.m. LO and I went to our normal bed....just wasn't comfortable.  This was a good thought, one we plan to repeat this coming weekend.
#5....stupid dog barks all night (sorry neighbors)...she barks all night because the stupid dog behind us barks all night.  Shutting one up (mine) helped keep the other quiet.
#6....coffee tastes better when made on a campfire, but coffee made in the auto coffee pot tastes pretty good when sitting by a morning campfire.

I have always been told that camping with a nursling is great and easy...I agree on a few different points: #1, nursing is so easy...much better than the measuring and mixing bottles....#2...not so easy if co-sleeping....just saying.
