Camping with the Smiths

This weekend, we went camping with some of our closest friends.  There were seven families - 14 adults and 17 children...all under 5 years old.  Needless to say, it was a challenge but oh so fun at the same time!  The weather was perfect during the day but very cold at night (high 40's).  We were able to stay pretty warm under mounds of sleeping bags.  Heidi slept surprisingly well in her pack and play, bundled up in fleece jammies along with a fleece sleeper.  It's nice that she sleeps best with her face covered by her blanket, so I never worried about her head getting cold.  Tobin had a blast exploring with his friends.  They were using their imaginations and hunting for grass monsters, dinosaurs, and a "snake man."  There was never a dull moment for him!  His favorite part was roasting marshmallows and eating smores...he takes after his mother, after all!  It was a perfect first camping trip as a family!!  Here's some pictures of our adventure:

Thumbs up for camping.  This is Tobin's very best buddy, Noah
