Successful Camping Adventure

Our first camping trip was a great success. It took us 2hours to get out the Humptulips river and the car ride went very smooth. Lucy loved the river and especially the rope swing. I was amazed that she was able to do the swing. So we borrowed my in-law's trailer and that was an experience. The first night I had a difficult time sleeping because I was worried about Kate and if she was okay or getting cold. Eventually I brought her into bed with me and that didn't help me sleep either. Kate loved the jumper outside and she did really well the whole time. She actually slept better because of all the fresh air.
The drive back was something that we would like to forget however. Instead of the normal 2hours that it should have taken us, it took us close to 4HOURS to get home. We got stuck in so much traffic it was insane! Lucy was fabulous and we had no issues at all. Kate however just wanted out of her carseat. There was so much crying! After the whole thing we have realized that we need to do more camping trips. Next year should be great because Kate will be walking and Lucy will be able to do so much more.
