Easter







We decided to go camping this Easter. This was going to be DJs first camping trip. We went someplace local and not too far "just in case" something should happen. Boy, we were sure glad we did that! We went on the Friday before
Easter and set up camp. We went for a hike had some dinner and a camp fire. The weather was pretty decent mid 60s and breezy. The whole time we were concerned about DJ...if he was too hot, too cold, uncomfortable, hungry and so on. He did great. Took everything in stride. Didn't complain much except when we wouldn't let him crawl in the dirt. Otherwise he was a good camper. After we went to bed in our tent around 9 the wind started to kick up and then it started to rain around 1 in the morning. The whole time I kept on getting up to check on DJ to see if he was arm enough, he was fine. As time went on it started to hail, it got colder, and our tent started to leak on our pillow. 4 am came around and DJ woke up and wanted a bottle, I didn't bring any breastmilk with me and brought formula instead. No sooner does he finish drinking it he throws up all over us and our blankets and then promptly falls back to sleep on us. We covered the throw up with towels and tried to go back to sleep. Didn't happen. We were too tired, too cold, and it smelled like vomit. We decided to get dressed and get in the car to sleep. As soon as we opened the tent there was snow everywhere and it was sleeting. We got to the car and noticed it was 36 degrees outside!!! Needless to say we packed up after it got light outside. Took us about 2 hours to pack everything away. We kept on having to get back in the car to warm up since we didn't bring any winter clothes! Oh well!

Sunday was DJs first Easter. Nothing too exciting. Just another day for him. He was barely interested in his Easter Basket!
