Hudson's First Camping Trip

This past weekend we took our first camping trip of the summer. Make that our first camping trip since we've been married and obviously since Hudson was born. We went to Twin Bridges (near Ririe, Idaho) and stayed for a night. Super simple campground- no running water, more or less outhouses for a bathroom, and no electricity. The weather was perfect-high of 80 and the company was even better.

Hudson LOVED it! He explored all over the place Friday night and learned about staying away from the camp stove and the fire.

Here is a little video that shows some of our adventure.


Not shown in the video:
-Scouts that were camping next to us that were loud as we were trying to fall asleep,
-Hudson refusing to sleep until after 11 (he's always in bed by 8)
-Our air mattress not holding air for longer than 10 minutes leading to my poor pregnant hips dyingggg all night long.
-All of us sliding towards the pack and play during the night. You know the pack and play that Hudson refused to sleep in haha.
-A long walk to explore the campground
-Hudson continually tripping over everything possible
-Mosquitos eating us alive because I forgot to buy bug spray. So far I've found 5 bug bites on just one of my legs.
-Terrible charcoals that did everything they could not to light nearly ruining our dutch oven dessert

Lessons learned:
-Check the air mattress before going camping. Oh and buy the right size batteries for the pump so you don't have to spend a ridiculous amount on batteries at a gas station.
-Buy bug spray!
-Bring a laptop with a movie for when you're stuck in a tent because your toddler won't lay down without you in the tent.

It was SO much fun, and I am already dying to go again!

  1. Oh man! Sleeping on a normal bed when pregnant is hard enough, but on an air mattress that won't hold air?! That sounds miserable! Haha but it also sounds like you enjoyed yourself, anyway, so I'm glad about that :)
