The First Expedition

All loaded up and ready to hit the road on our first pop-up camping expedition! We even threw in a canoe :) Our van is working hard for us, haha!
We got to the campsite around lunch time, and while I took care of Andrew, Joe set up the camper! We finished putting on the awning just as Andrew fell asleep in his pack-n-play in the camper. Whew!
That night we enjoyed foil dinners...Andrew even tried a bit, and I think he wants to have these every night from now on. It got quite chilly that night, but as you can see, we are all bundled up and stayed very warm. (Not to mention, we packed a space heater that helped!)
Hey buddy! You are all smiles for the camera! And that is quite a feat, considering we just got out of the canoe here, and you were NOT a happy camper while we tried to paddle around the lake. But you did like it when mommy sat with you in the bottom of the boat and sang songs and let you wave around a couple of sticks that were floating by in the water. Hmm, perhaps we will wait awhile until our first canoeing trip to the Boundary Waters :)



Molly loved coming along on our trip...so many new smells, sights, and dogs! She is so good with Andrew!
Enjoying some time together by the fire....


Overall it was a short but sweet first camping trip for the 4 of us (counting Molly) and we look forward to doing it again. The camper makes all the difference when you have a little one, thats for sure. Thanks for being a trooper Andrew! You are an outdoorsman at heart, we just know it :) Can't wait to take the next adventure together!
