logan had his first camping trip the weekend after his first birthday. it was a family trip. an extended family trip. aunts, uncles, cousins, my parents, nieces, nephews, second cousins, etc. there were about 30 of us total. some of us camped in tents. some of us stayed in cabins.
chris, logan, and myself drove up to san jose to meet up with my parents first. then we drove the rest of the way to pinecrest. we camped in our new tent, which was much better than last time. logan even had an area to play! logan spent the first night camping in our bed with me. chris slept on the floor that night. the next 2 nights, logan slept in a pea pod chris had gotten for him. he slept right next to me, which i think helped.
logan did fine with the dirt, which is what i was most worried about. he was fussy for the entire trip because he had a big molar coming in. poor guy.
the first day at the lake, logan did not want to venture into the water. so he and i hung out on the beach for most of the day. the second day we actually got him into the lake, with mommy close by of course.
it was so nice to see family and the 4 new babies together! we made the long drive home straight from pinecrest to temecula. we were so happy to be home!
