Shaffer Butte Camping Trip

We just came back from our Ward's camping trip. I was a little worried about how Bennett would handle this outing. This was his 3rd time camping, but he used to sleep inside his infant car seat before. We brought along his pack n' play and thankfully it did fit inside our tent. The start of the day was pretty rough. We had to drive to the top of a mountain just to get to the campsite, Bennett had missed his nap and wouldn't rest after we got everything set up. So we just listened to him scream for a while. But he went down very well when it was time for bed. Ironically I was the only one who didn't sleep well. It wasn't that anyone kept me up, I just was no longer tired for some reason. The following morning, the guys went paint balling with slingshots and the girls played Bocce Ball. Then the infamous Boise heat started getting to us so we broke camp. Enjoy the pictures!

Awww, I just wanna squish him!! Seriously, I LOVE LOVE that boy! *hug, hug, hug* We bought the same car seat for Jonnie when he outgrew his infant carrier at the age of 5 1/2 months. (Yes, he was THAT chubby.) The view made me miss my Idaho camping trips INSANELY!!! *sigh* Homesick and close to delivery. =P Thanks for sharing. lol
