As promised...

I did promise to post a bit on our camping trip.
Even though it started off rough, by the end of the week, I was able to thoroughly enjoy watching Justin have fun.

Some of the things that he did:

He played with Sassy dog food bowl (yes, it was clean). He put his elephant, and various sticks that he found it in and then he would sit and spin in it! Such fun!














He also enjoyed (thoroughly I might add) playing in his rubber maid container with types of things. He had his plastic tub animals, as well as well...you can tell from the picture can't you! :)









One of the things we did almost every day was visit the house where Jim's mom was house-sitting. They have a pool. The three of them would go swimming. Justin enjoyed himself tremendously. One of the things he liked most was crawling in and out of the pool. He also like splashing the dog. Wiley is a old goofy golden retriever who let Justin do just about anything with him. Justin crawled over him, under him, took his toys, and had a blast. Wiley tolerated it all really, really well. :)


















One of the funniest thing I thought Justin did while we camped was....fool his mom-mom. I thought he was going over to check out our van, instead he decided that he should crawl across the road to another campsite! Fortunately I caught up to him as he was going over the road. When he got there, the garbage they left at the back of the campsite caught his eye and off he crawled as fast as he could. On the way there he came across this patch of long, really cool (as in to the touch) feeling grass. He stopped! He looked surprised. He turned and sat. Wiggled his bum. Turned and sat. He was just captivated by the feel of this grass. It was so nice, cool and soft to the touch. He completely forgot about the garbage (not that I minded) and just took in that grass. When he tired of it, dad-dad had made it back to our campsite and Justin thought we should go get him. Off we went!


Oh...we bought this screen tent for camping. We thought it would be a good way to keep Justin confined in a bug-free zone for playing. I had it all nicely set up. Justin played in it "properly" one time! And then he discovered it had a zipper! oh boy!!!! I can do that too!!!!! Up and down, crawl under, up and down, crawl in, up and down, up and down, up and down, oh...crawl out! Head for fire quickly (while loudly saying "ah") (have to warn mom-mom somehow!)

Silly boy.....
Had a blast. Made the whole camping trip worth while! :)

We took Snuggle Bug camping when he was about 9 months old and he really enjoyed it. We need to go again! :)
