Starting our Camping Vacation Updates

So.....the last two weeks have been busy for us. Just so you know. I will be dividing these vacation updates between between my two main blogs. This one and Fish and Cans. This is so that I don't overload one blog with too many pictures.

We've been away camping and doing day trips.

One of the things we chose to do before leaving was to pick up a special traveling toy for our son Justin.

What can I say? Take along Thomas was a HUGE hit. He played with it everyday. He took the trains to bed with him. He had so much fun it was worth it.

One of the other things that we were thrilled with was that Justin didn't need the playpen to sleep in anymore. A bed rail and drawn curtains kept him safely confined to bed.

We tended all to go to bed at the same time, and it was funny. Most nights we would hear "hi! hi!" emanating from behind the curtains. We would respond with "good night Justin, time for bed". Silence, rustling, you would think he had settled down then would come "hi! hi!" with an accompanying giggle. "night night" Justin we would say. This would repeat up to ten times before he would finally settle down.

Most nights he would sleep well until 730 a.m.

Naps were harder. He was having too much fun to settle for naps. We often ended up going for after lunch drives so that he could at sleep in the van. Then we could be guaranteed at least a one hour nap. Makes for a much happier boy.

For those who might be curious about a rant, or a Meme well then follow those links over too. :)

Yes, I'm being a bit lazy in just referring you over, but it saves the copying and pasting and such like. :)

So we're off today to go camping.

Jim preaches in Kingsville this Sunday so we'll be at Weatherly (i think that's the right spelling) park for 3 nights, then home to London (Eva's place) for one night and camping at Fanshawe Conservation Area. Feel free to come and visit us there! :)
