Pack the tent...

We are going camping!!!! Yep, we brought Madeline on her first camp trip this past weekend. Yes, tent camping...no electricty, no running water...well we did have both of those, but not anything to brag about!!!!! You will see pictures of that later! Friday night we decided we were going to try it, so we packed up our winter gear and Madeline's warmest clothes! Saturday we picked up some food and headed out to Huntsville State Park. It is just about 45 minutes from the house. It was a little muggy and hot when we got there, but soon got pretty cool. I think Madeline really had a good time! This was about the only thing that she can do that she hadn't yet. The next thing on her list is an Astros game! Hit! Hit! Maw Maw and Paw Paw...Season Opener! :)
When we got there mommy and daddy (mainly daddy) had to put up the tent so Madeline played on her LSU quilt for awhile. Daddy is so good at putting up the tent all by himself! :)

Madeline and mommy playing while daddy fixed up everything!

That is one HUGE tent!!!!! You can easily fit two queen size mattresses and two single ones in there and still have room! It is GREAT!!!!!Madeline playing in the tent while mommy and daddy unpacked everything! She really didn't like when the wind blow. I think it scared her a little. Poor baby! Thank goodness it stopped before bed time!!!!

Daddy and Madeline sitting in front of the fire She is actually awake. She is looking at the fire...she LOVE it!!!!

Getting ready to go on our little mile and half hike.

Daddy enjoying the outdoors. He finally got to go on a hike!

Madeline LOVED looking at the birds and the trees!

She fell asleep half way through our hike!

This was the first time that she wore mittens and she was SO confused by them. She kept looking at them and trying to figure them out. It was pretty cute! :)
