Camping

Our family loves camping (especially Max and especially if his cousin Zachary is going too). I even enjoy camping, but with two 6 month old babies that's a whole other story. Also, with a bigger family it's a lot more work to pack and unpack just for one night of camping. We wanted to camp at the Valley of Fire, but sadly it was all full. The same thing happened last year so we found another campground not too much further past Valley of Fire by Lake Mead called Echo Bay.
The kids were just happy to get to a campground even the babies had a great time camping during the day, nighttime was a different story. I was nervous for the night because I know that with one baby and camping I usually nurse all night, but with two I wouldn't be able to do so. Danny and I didn't get much sleep, Walt wanted to nurse all night, Daisy did pretty good but still wanted to be held so Danny got a little taste of my camping trips with a baby. Hopefully, they'll be better at our next camping trip in August at the beach because that one is a whole week.
The kids had a fun time playing at the lake before we headed back home.

I love camping! I can't wait until it is warm enough here to go.
You are a good sport to take two little ones along.
