We survived

We survived our camping trip.  We ended up leaving later then originally planned, but it was nicer because the temperature had started dropping so it wasn't as hot.  We had a big enough tent that we were able to bring her pnp, but she only slept in it about 30 minutes.  It was still nice to have because we could set her in it instead of being in her stroller all the time.  We moved it outside under the tree during the day.  We did have trouble getting her to sleep, but part of it was that we lost track of time and tried putting her really late and she was too tired.  I think teething was another factor.  She was constantly biting during feedings, so i would stop feeding her and then she wouldn't fall asleep.She only woke up once during the night, but we again had trouble getting her back to sleep, but not as bad as the first time.  The next night she slept from 11:00-9:30.  She did decent the rest of the time, but she did not like being in the stroller or pnp while we tried cleaning up.  After cleaning up we went swimming in the lake and she had a blast.  Other then it being really hot and her somewhat fussy it went pretty well.  We might try it again if it gets cooler before I go back to work since h and I have different weekends.

We want to go camping but I am not brave enough to have Ashley sleep in a tent so we will probably go up near Zion and get a cabin. Sounds like you have a great time though. Hopefully you got some good pics?

unfortunately my camera quit working right before.  I got a few on mobile, but not as many as I wanted because its hard to get good mobile pics after dark.  We did get some video of her swimming for the first time in deep water and her seeing a fish that I caught.
