Camping with A, Part Two: The Campsite

We lived in a tent with Amelia for two days.

Here's the site before the tent was set up.



Amelia loved playing in the tent and throwing herself around on the air mattress.



As one would expect, her sleep in the tent was not great. She actually did pretty well the first night, if you don't count being woken up by a barking dog an hour after she fell asleep. The second night, she cried a lot and loudly, and so we let her sleep in the air mattress with us. Unfortunately the air mattress had a slow leak, so we slept--to the extent that we slept--in a sort of U with baby A in the trough.


We were glad to see the mornings come. But it was chilly in the mornings, so Amelia wore her 80's legwarmers.


We had a great view.



Overall, we enjoyed camping. Dean and I are more used to backpacking than car camping so we were excited to have loads of things we couldn't have taken on a backpacking trip, like the aforementioned pillows and a bottle of wine. But we still made a long list of even more stuff we would take if we went again, like Amelia's high chair (she spent mealtimes crawling over her food in search of rocks to put in her mouth) and perhaps a soundproof box for the Pack and Play (haha).
