Finally it's warm enough to go CAMPING! 5-30-08

We have been waiting for a while for the weather to warm up so we could go camping. We finally got a good weekend the end of May and headed out to Big Twist by our hometown Beaver. The kids started out pretty unsure of what was going on. They have really hated grass in the past and will cry anytime we try to put them down on it. Not just an "I'm unhappy" cry either, it's full blown "I'm freaked out" cry. I put them out on a blanket while we unloaded and they cried the whole time. Finally they ventured out off the blanket and realized that grass wasn't so bad and that dirt was pretty cool. Porter really enjoys chewing on rocks. I haven't noticed him swallowing any yet, but he loves to chew on them. Porter hasn't been too sure of the dogs up to this point, and out of the blue he started petting and laughing at the dogs like they were old pals. They got real adventerous and crawled all over the place. They both really liked watching the fire and we had the all important discussion about "hot".

At night we put them in our mummy bags and scinched up the top so only their heads were poking out. They slept pretty good. Autumn woke up a few times in the early am, but we didn't hear a sound from Porter. When we woke up he had scooted his bag across the tent floor and was about six feet from where we left him. He was still sound asleep.
