Being very brave and adventurous  we went camping with a 5 and 1/2 month old! We went back to Wellington Lake, a stocked private lake near Bailey, Colorado. We camped with our friends the Bertram’s and had a blast. The kids all played together and since we brought a bunch of toys for the kids to play with, they didn’t play with them! The boys got to go out on a boat and  do some fishing with their dads. We ate smores, drew pictures in the dirt, and even made camping donuts! Theo did well too, he had some trouble sleeping through the night, even though at home he had been sleeping fairly well. It was very windy on Friday night and the tarp made a lot of noise flapping around. The big boys seemed to sleep right through it, but Theo woke several times. Nonetheless we made the best of it and of course Theo got a big nap! Mom was too busy talking to take a nap. The wind kicked up again and the boaters had to come in and in fact it got so windy the boat  had to head to shore. The Bertrams headed home on  Saturday afternoon, and we planned to stay the night now that the wind was dying down. Mike caught 3 keepers and Stephen and Freddy helped him clean the fish. I was grossed out and kept my distance. As the day wore on I was very tired, and talked to Mike about Theo and I heading home, when Freddy burned his hand. Mike took it as a sign and we packed up to come home. It all worked out because everyone had a good night’s sleep and we had plenty of time to clean up and put away our camping gear. We hope to go back one more time this summer!
