First Fourth with two kids

Well, I was reminded that camping is a bit harder with a baby – boy there is a LOT to pack. And naps are not easy to come by. Even in our little air-conditioned pop-up oasis. But mostly the kids were happy and had a lot of fun.

As usual it took me a little time to adjust to camping life – oh yeah, I have to walk a block to the bathroom and uh, how am I going to wash these dishes? Things like that trip me up at first but by the end I always have a few ideas about how it could be better. Like for one – I will not put our little booth up again until necessary because leaving it down creates a great little play space and room for bags.

Anyway, we had loads of relatives to visit with and tons of kids for Ella to play with. One of Ella’s sweet little cousins, well 12-years-old, not THAT little, took Ella to the bathroom so many times, we started to call her our nanny. Thanks Melia!

Otherwise we swam, and ate very well (thanks Shirley and Bryan!) and visited downtown and baked in the sun and enjoyed the fireworks on the beach and celebrated nephew Rylan’s birthday. Good holiday.

Photos to come.
