How 'bout we go camping

Our first foray into camping with Emi was necessitated by Yeti's Tribe Gathering. We sourced a new tent to accommodate Emi's Pack-n-Play along with along with all the gear that goes hand in hand when travelling with a small child. An 8-person North Face palace!

With no dry run and accompanied by friends from Denver and the Pacific Northwest, we headed off to Winter Park to give it a shot. I had this bad feeling we'd be renting a room somewhere in town when Emi decided she had had enough.

Emi, however, decided she loved the experience. She loved playing in the dirt, walking in the stream and exploring the corners of her new tent. She made a game out of climbing on and off our inflatable mattress, watched Gibson as he wandered in the outdoors and had a fantastic time. Not to mention that she essentially slept through each night.

She had such a good time that we packed into our car the following weekend and headed off for an overnight trip to Buffalo Creek. This kid loves being outside!
