Addy's First Camping Trip



We took Addison camping for the first time a couple weekends ago. I wasn't sure how she was going to handle it but, in true Addy fashion, she adapted and enjoyed herself. As soon as she got out of the car she started exploring. She found a log near the campfire that became her seat and she helped us cook and collect firewood. I was being eaten alive by bugs that weekend so I applied bug spray liberally and often. Addy thought the bottle of bug spray was a cool thing to have if Mommy had it all the time so she spent a good part of the weekend carrying it around like a doll and pretended to spray her arms.

Our campsite was in the middle of a big four-wheeling area (which we did not realize at first) so we did a little off-roading in the truck. All of that bouncing around would keep most people awake and holding on for dear life, but not Addy, she settled into her car seat and passed out!

Addison spent the weekend covered in dirt. After the first evening I just gave up trying to keep her face and hands clean. She wore jeans the whole weekend because of the bugs and she still managed to turn every diaper black with dirt. I have not figured out how she managed to do that.
