Camping

The weekend of August 12-15, we took the boys camping with Greg's parents. We went to Fish Lake in southern Oregon, about 45 minutes outside of Medford. This was Caden's 1st real camping experience. He spent 1 night at Lake Tahoe when he was about 9 months old, but this was 3 nights and he definitely got more of the camping experience. Although this time the boys slept in the trailer with Greg's parents and were in the tent by ourselves. I have to say that was a nice way for us to camp. :)

It was really nice to have the trailer because we had a fridge for Caden's food and electricity for his nebulizer so we could give him his required breathing treatments. And, not having them in the tent with us meant that we actually got some sleep at night!

Caden had an incredible time! He LOVES to be outside so was thrilled that he could play in the dirt all he wanted. We spent some time in the lake also. Caden didn't seem to be too phased by the cold water. Kyler on the other hand, did not like it much at all. They both had fun playing near the shore, especially with the swim noodles.

I stayed at camp during Caden's naps in the afternoon and Kyler went on hikes with Greg and Grandma. Kyler also went fishing with Grandpa although they didn't catch anything. I think Kyler's favorite part of the weekend was eating marshmallows. He didn't want to roast them or make s'mores. But he wanted plain marshmallows. To each their own! It was a fun weekend and I think the boys made some great memories with their Grandma Mary & Grandpa Dan.
