First Campout

Kind of. Nate was planning to camp out in the back yard with Trey on Friday but ended up having to work. I was feeling adventurous, so I decided to try it on my own. Thing started out pretty good. I got the tent set up a lot quicker then I thought I would on my own. This pic is only half way.
I think I would have gotten done even quicker if Trey didn't keep running away with the tent poles. I chased after him, but I think he thought it was a game.

Still with the poles...
Ta da!
No afternoon with Trey would be complete without a few tears. This is him after I finally got the pole for the rain cover away from him.

I gave him a cheese stick to cheer him up. He fed almost all of it to the dogs, but it did cheer him up! :) I think the dogs liked it too.
Here's the set up. Trey in the play pen and me in the sleeping bag next to him. I even brought out a chair and a flash light so I could read for a while after i put trey down.


Here he is relaxing in my chair before bed. The plan was to get him dressed for bed, read some books, put him in the play pen, and say good night. Same routine as usual, just in a tent. While we were getting dress Trey started to show me how quickly and easily he can get in and out and in and out of his play pen. That was my first clue that it might not work out.



Two hours later I was getting very sleepy, but Trey was showing no signs of slowing down. Camping is just way more exciting then I realized. We abandoned the tent and both had a very good night sleep in our own beds, indoors. Maybe Nate will have better luck next week.
