The North'sWell, Ella had her first real camping experience over the weekend. It was kind of a trial run for both the Prak and North family. Since both kids have never slept in a tent before. And both family's have big camping trips coming up for mid summer. We really needed an idea on how it will all go down. Ella and Alex did great! The only thing that was tough,was that it gets really light outside around 5AM, and they both would want up. So when the time came that Ella was staring at us with a HUGE smile. We brought her to bed and to our surprise she fell back asleep. It was so nice to have her sleeping beside us. I just wanted to keep my own eyes open to watch her angel face. The whole idea of camping with my OWN family was kind of surreal for me. Dave and I have been long time campers thanks to our parents. And it felt really great to have her there with us ,spending time around the fire and getting dirty. Mostly just watching her actually enjoy being in the outdoors....I would do it again in a heart beat:)

looks like it turned out wonderful! We took cole last year and it was awful, (he wasn't weaned yet) so we are anxiously awaiting two weeks from now when we try it again in tofino! Did Ella still take a bath? and go to bed okay?
Everything things was exactly the same as home with bedtime,bathtime and nap time.The only thing different was that she woke up at 5:30 AM everymorning,from it being to light outside. Next time, were bringing a blue tarp to put over the tent for night time, it will make it darker. Good lucky Amy with Cole, it will be fine:)
