Ross & I always said we wouldn't camp with kids who wore diapers. Alex has been out of diapers for 2 years now, so we figured we were due for a journey into the woods. Ross took Andrew camping back in the fall with the scouts, but I haven't been since we were first married (9 years ago)! There's a reason for that: I am a city girl! I like showers and brushing my teeth and air conditioning and cleanliness. :) Needless to say, I survivied our weekend outing to Lake Sommerville. The bugs in the bathroom numbered in the millions, and it was a little warm for my camping taste (88 degrees). Alex threw a tantrum that had the entire campground watching as he screamed that we were "idiots" thru the tent (while in a time out). We also woke up to rain on our last morning, so Ross & I took down a wet campsite while the boys watched a DVD in the van. But the boys had a blast fishing and playing with their friends. Ross enjoyed poking the campfire for hours on end. I enjoyed smores.....and then coming home to a/c and a hot shower! Next time, we'll reserve camping for winter months (in Texas, that's Nov-March). Live and learn! :)
