Camping with a baby?

We went camping TWO times with our little lady this summer. The first one was the annual Palmer camp. It really didn't turn out great for us. Savannah had a horrible time which made ME have a horrible time. Good thing I go for Keaton and was committed or we would have bailed :) Not too many pictures of our family on that one due to Savannah being in tears most of it.

Why did we try it AGAIN 2 weeks later? I had put together a camp for my Mom's family. I really felt like I couldn't get out of it :) It was MUCH better on Savannah....SO better for all:)
Here is my Uncle Drew and his "adventure scouts". Have I told you about Drew before? He is a real live Peter Pan. Don't we all need one of those in our lives? He never wants to grow up. That makes him Grandpa/Uncle of the YEAR. He had our little collection of 3 year olds going. He took them on a tent stake rescue mission, had them imagining the twisty Aspen trees were snakes, and told them about "Monkshood" flowers to name a few topics. Keaton LOVED it. I {heart} Uncle Drew.


Here we are at Silver Lake, what a great little walk!


Keaton trying to fit in with the girls :)

Keaton and Savannah...best buds.


I had to laugh, on our walk with the girls my cousin Launie is working on letters in the dirt with her girls. Keaton...has scurried 1/2 way up this wall. The differences of gender!

Oh! Can I just say I {HEART} Uncle Drew, too!?! Miss living nearby. Camping with a baby...don't know that I'm that brave, but hey, I did find it interesting to see Isaac come out of his shell when we went earlier this year. It's amazing how boys work.

So sorry we missed it AGAIN! I couldn't pass up the cash from that job.

We had fun too. Glad you could do it. We have had so many tell us how much they love and appreciate your taking charge of the Hansen event.

As your grandma Donna would have said, "Well, there's another star in your crown!"
