1st Camping trip



So we ventured out with the rest of our ward to brave the wild for a night (as wild as it gets at Cascade park). I had tried to convince Allison into letting me take Topher to the Father's and Son's camp out. Since Topher was only a couple weeks old, she said no.






We were the first to arrive which gave us the responsibility to chose the spot, move picnic tables, and start the fire. We decided to make tin foil dinners so the fire was high on the priority. When others arrived they would make comments like "don't pitch the tent next to the Nelson's... they have baby". Fortunately we have an amazing baby and was well behaved. Unfortunately for others, we had some "bears" aka snorers... LOL






Topher loved watching the fire and we enjoyed talking to our friends, roasting marshmallows, and sleeping on the hard ground. (ok maybe not the last part, our inflatable mattress has a hole). Whatever the case we were well equipped with camping gear which we inherited from our parents.


This is Toph's personal tent........ I know...

Wow, what a cute little tent! Where did you find that? Glad you had fun on the campout... we were nervous about taking three kids along (yeah, we're wimps)... although we probably wouldn't have pitched your tent next to yours either... not because we would be worried about the baby waking us... more worried about our kids waking your baby! :) He's a cute kid!

What a mean wife you have. Not letting you take a 2 week old to a campout! Ever since that campout Austin will only sleep in his own room all night if we let him sleep on the floor. So we let him. Better than in our bed.

It was fun to have you guys there. Your baby is an angel. It's cold, he had to eat (cold) formula, the smoke gets in your eyes and mouth, and yet I never heard him complain!

Now if the teenagers in the tent next to us could have been as angelic...
