Camping

The last two weekends Dave and I took off to our family farm to go camping with the boys.  We drove separate so Dave was able to spend sometime with old friends on the farm while I took the boys to visit, Nan.  We haven't been able to visit Nan like I would like to but with two rambunctious boys it is hard to make that trip.  It was great seeing her and I think the boys had a good time ransacking her house. 

The first weekend of camping we hiked, shot guns, dug for arrow heads with Clark and Nana, roasted marshmallows and had a great time exploring around our campsite by the river.  Unfortunately though, despite are wonderful day we had one of the hardest nights with Jett ever.  He screamed almost the entire night.  He and we all barely slept.  The only way I could get him to sleep for just a bit was lying on my chest but if I moved an inch he would wake and scream for another hour or so.  I would have just put him in the car and drove home but my van was about half a mile away and I would have had to walk through the muddy fields in the dark to get there.  SO needless to say we were all stuck in the trailer for 10+ hours with a screaming baby.  It was terrible. 

The second weekend was Jett's last chance.  We again had a great day hiking and exploring the old house, and the civil war Cemetery.  That night I got pretty nervous but to our surprise it went great.  Jett slept great and even slept longer than Brody.  Now that we know Jett can handle camping we can't wait to travel all around in our trailer this summer.
