Happy Campers and Not-so-Happy Campers

We went camping at Ensign Ranch this weekend. It was our first time with kids so we knew it was going to be an interesting adventure. We knew the nights might not be good but we were hoping for the best. So I am posting this today because we only stayed 1 night instead of 3. Our newborn slept through the night but our 2 year old most certainly did not go to bed easily or sleep through the night. No worries, we are hoping to switch him to a big boy bed this week so he can be used to sleeping without walls. We haven't done this yet because he's had so many changes with the move and a baby brother and well, honestly, he sleeps so good usually. So even though we'd love to be with our friends right now and we had this awesome campsite where the kids could wander in this secluded cul-de-sac type setting, we enjoyed the 2 days we were there! We went on several nature hikes, threw lots of rocks (Max says to his cousin Drew: Drew you would've had so much fun), saw lots of fun creatures and played with good friends. Ensign Ranch has horses, a slip n' slide, canoes, rope swings, and more. We're definitely going to get this camping thing down! :) Click on the slideshow to make it bigger.

  1. We missed you for the rest of the trip!!! Let's see, you missed a near-drowning and leeches galore. Oh, right- we did have some yummy s'mores and fun on the waterslide. :) I'll post pics on my blog later this week. Hugs!
