Happy Camper

LB experienced his first camping trip last weekend- in a tent on an inflatable air mattress that kept going flat through the night.  We rough'ed it while his grandparents & aunt/uncle/cousins (PC's side) stayed in their fancy campers, which we are now in the market for too since LB LOVED it!  He slept better on the deflating air bed than he has at home in weeks and he only cried when his body reached the sleepy stage and he was too afraid to miss out on something.  
His cousins (tween and teen) took him for stroller rides, fed him, and took turns changing diapers.
His grandparents fought over who he was reaching for and smiling at the most.
His aunt sang him to sleep and his uncle tossed him high up in the air. 
With all of those helping hands, PC got to go on a few bike rides around the campground and I got to take a long shower, which felt good even in a bathhouse!
He had a bite of a peach, biscuit, blackberry jelly & strawberry shortcake.  
He was big stuff in the swing!
He was big stuff in the pool!
There was a fair in town and LB was in awe of the sights and sounds.  We "won" (okay, just paid $5 for the souvenir) a Boots inflatable and it made our little guy so happy.  And guess what other souvenir LB came home with?  A bottom tooth!!!  Exciting times around here:]





Smiling because I finally cut that bottom tooth!

That sounds like so much fun!! And it's great that you had all that help and were able to enjoy the trip yourself too, rather than stressing over the idea of camping with a baby. First tooth!! Ahhh!! He is so darn cute. :)

SUPER cute pics. Yay for a bottom tooth! I'm waiting for Leah to catch up. :)

This sounds like such a fun trip!! I would love to take Alidia camping sometime soon! :) So nice that you got to spend that time with your family. Yay for his first tooth! How is he handling it? He looks like such a big boy swimming in the pool! :)
