Sophia's First Camping Adventure

This weekend Marty and I took Sophia on her first camping trip. I was very concerned all week about going, thinking that Sophie would not sleep and would make the trip miserable for all involved. Not the case, Sophia was a trooper. She was the happy baby that she almost always is!!! The only time she really was upset was when she got hungry which is no big surprise. She even slept just like she does at home, the only difference was she awoke about 6:30 each morning after taking a bottle about 5:00 because of the light coming in the camper. She did fall back asleep both mornings after a little coaxing.

Marty and I really enjoying being at the campground as well. It was so nice to be outside and hope it is something that we will be able to do a little more often. I think we are going to try a trip to Gatlinburg over Fall Break in October. We went with Mom and Doug and had dinner with them both nights. Sophie had a great time getting attention from Nana and Papaw, she did lots of smiling and cooing. She also loved checking out the trees around the camper and loved to go for walks around the grounds. Marty, Doug, and I went on a 6 mile canoe trip Saturday with our friends, Joe and Meiko. I had been canoeing before but not this stretch of Elkhorn. It had a lot more rapids to navigate, but we got through most of them without any injuries. It certainly was a great way to spend the afternoon. Sophie stayed with Nana at the campground- Thanks Mom!!!!
