-Meeting our "neighbors" almost immediately because we were trying to set up our "new-mansion-tent" for the first time in the dark with only three hands & one set of eyes. (I was holding a crying Andrew & trying to watch Henry in the dark).
-Getting the tent up & Henry saying, "Hooray! Is this our tent?"
-Andrew eating lots and lots of rocks.
-Swimming right off of our campsite.
-Steaks, salad, & wine for our anniversary dinner.
-Visiting with our friends the Svensons who encouraged us to go on the trip! (Kristoffer & Henry are friends from gymnastics last yr.)
-Andrew sleeping through the night on Sat. night! (Sun. was a different story--let's just say we packed up before anyone could see who had the crying baby CAMPING...)
-Henry playing with Kirsten (the "girl next door") & their dogs (except the pit bull).
-Looking up at the stars as we slept in our tent! (We didn't put the fly on...) Although, even with our star chart, Mike and I couldn't identify many constellations! Here's a pic of our mansion-tent:
The Svenson's were going to go again last weekend, but we opted out. I think Andrew needs to walk a little better (he's better EVERY day) AND sleep through the night consistently before we venture out again. Plus, I think we're staying close to home for a while now!
Oh yeah, we also learned two lessons in love this weekend:
1. True love is when Kirsten can come over, put a hand on Henry's shoulder, and without speaking get him to follow her under the clothesline to her campsite.
2. True love is when Sara Svenson (age 4) gives Henry someone ELSE's toy school bus to take with us as we were leaving the Svenson's campsite simply because Henry "wanted" it. What a good friend!
