Our first Camping trip

We had our first camping trip on Friday night with our friends at Wolf River Campground. We had the rustic sites (only a porta potty). We had to pack for the camping trip along with the week vacation in MN so the car was plum full.

We had Joshua sleep in the changing pad next to us. I had him in a zipup sleeper and swaddled in one of those swaddle wrap things. Then another blanket, mittens, and a hat. It got down to 40 degrees that night. I was freezing, because I didn't pack enough for me. Packed enough to clothe Josh like 20 times... Nice.
He did pretty well that night. We did have to go into the car and turn on the lullabye CD to get him to quiet down, we were a bit rowdy at the campsite. We had packed 4 frozen bags of breastmilk so I could have a few beverages too. Unfortunately, we lost 2 of them because evidently the bags were not sealed properly or had opened. But again, these days I can't drink much anyway. 3 beers was enough!
We went to bed at 3am, yeah had no idea it was that late. Then woke up at 6am to feed Josh and pack up for the trek to Brainerd MN. It is a 7 hour drive - which turned into a long 10 hour trip for us. But we made it. Jim and I crashed as soon as we got there. Thank goodness for relatives who are willing to watch our little man and our dog. :)
