Norah's 1st Camping Trip!

Last week, my family and I got to go camping at beautiful Pinecrest Lake. It was Norah's first camping trip and we had so much fun. My family has been going to PInecrest since I was a little girl so I couldn't wait to take Norah there and start the tradition with her, plus Casey and I have never had a chance to go camping together since we have been together so it was a first for us too! We went from Sunday to Tuesday and got to go with my parents and Casey's brother and his family. It was my nephew's 5th birthday so we got to celebrate his birthday while we were up there, which was a lot of fun!

I love camping and I love camping gear, so this year we bought a really nice tent at my favorite store, Costco, and everyone thought I was hilarious to buy a 10 person tent for 2 adults and a baby, but I knew we would grow into this tent with future kids and plus I loved that it has a screened section I could see Norah napping in and I could also stand up in it, which was so nice when changing Norah and getting dressed. Once we got there and set it up everyone wanted our tent, I laughed, I guess I wasn't that crazy after all :)

It was so cold at night so we layered Norah up like crazy and I had purchased a fleece snow sack last winter on clearance at Old Navy before Norah was born for this winter. It was a little big on her but worked since she was layered underneath it. I planned on having her sleep in her pack-n-play, but it was so cold I was worried she wouldn't be warm enough and so we put her in between us to sleep. We have never allowed her to sleep in between us because I worried about us rolling over on her, plus she likes to sleep on her belly and I was worried she would try to roll over, but she was so bundled up that she fell asleep and slept all through the night, she did so good! She looked like a little Eskimo baby, it was so cute :)

Casey made our nephews hammocks for them and surprised them when we got there, they loved them and had fun with Uncle Casey hanging in their hammocks together.
