So after our last camping experience I swore never to camp again. I was seven or eight months pregnant, we had a TINY tent, and I had to walk, in my opinion, WAY too far to go to the bathroom at 10pm, 1am, 4am, and 6am! Then it rained, aLOT! So I was not impressed. But a few weeks ago some friends in the ward said they were getting a group together to go camping up somewhere north of Houston and asked if we wanted to go... I really wanted to go to be social but wasn't so sure about the camping part of it since I am yet again pregnant. Anyway, we decided to go and had SOOOOO much fun! We borrowed Donald and Julie's MASSIVE tent (thanks!), camped RIGHT next to the bathroom (well not so close that it smelled- haha), and brought a lot of GOOD food! It was so much fun!
We got there late on Friday and just had a quick dinner and then in the morning everyone got together for breakfast. I LOVE this picture of Bailey's mouth WIDE open!
We went for a fun bike ride and hiked and then went over to the lake to do a little fishing! Piper got a new fishing pole and was SOOOOOO excited to fish - I'm not sure why. We've never really talked about fishing but about a month ago she said she wanted to go fishing - talk about random! So here was her chance. She didn't catch anything but had a blast just holding the pole. She was beaming the whole time!!
Bailey, on the other hand, found other things to amuse herself! haha - leaves and sticks! It's so funny...I was thinking, better yet worrying, about how I would keep them entertained with no toys or what nots but they were thoroughly engaged/entranced/preoccupied by EVERYTHING from sticks to dogs to water to trees to turtle to ALLIGATORS - you name it, they found some way to make it so much fun!

And Bailey was NOT impressed AT ALL with the canoe. She screamed the WHOLE time!
So that was our fun February camping trip! I may even concider doing it again sometime :)

Sounds like you guys had fun. Camping always sounds like a good idea, once you get over the packing part of it. Way to be adventurous and social!
I'm so impressed. Glad you gave it another shot. And I didn't think that camping trip was THAT bad but I wasn't pregnant. Is that all you're going to say about expecting a new little one? Hello? When are you due? What do you think you're having? Are you ready for 3? Hmmm, I think I just need to call you.
Awesome! We are so excited to take Lydia camping this summer.
