The Weils In The Wild

Here's just a few pics of our 4th of July campout. It was David's first camping trip and while he enjoyed spending so much time outdoors I definitely don't plan to attempt it again until next year. Even at home he's been sleeping really poorly at night so we opted to stay in a tent to spare everyone else David's nighttime screaming (as opposed to my parents' trailer). There wasn't really room for us and the playpen in the tent so Derek and I got killer leg cramps from having to sleep so scrunched up. Then it wound up being so cold that we had to put David in our sleeping bag anyway. And yes he still was up every couple hours screaming which isn't too different to what he does at home now, but it's alot more miserable to have to deal with it somewhere else.

So for now I think we're going to plan more daytime outings and try to avoid overnighters. We still managed to have some fun though. We managed to go on a short hike together and enjoy some incredible scenery. Then later Grandma watched David while Derek and I managed to get out for dinner and a fireworks show. I hope everyone else had a great 4th of July.

Wow, you guys are ambitious! I am impressed that you managed a baby on a camping trip! Looks beautiful though, and like you had a great time during the day :)

Ah, camping with a baby. We never seem to sleep well with our kid in the tent with us (even when she's sleeping fine...). Maybe someday. Or someday we'll just have a "kid's tent" and a "grown-up's tent". Excellent.
