Lisa, Emily and I went camping over this past weekend. Incidently, the weekend also included my birthday. We had a great time! It was fun because it was the church campout, so we arranged to be next to all the other families with small children. The adults got to hang out while all the children ran around and played together. It was a blast!
On my actual birthday (July 16), I got up early and went crabbing in Newport harbor. (We were camping at South Beach, just south of Newport.) We caught 9 large sized (a.k.a. legal size) dungeness crab and 19 red rock crab (no legal size minimum). That evening we boiled them up and ate them along with my birthday cake. Delicious!
Emily took to camping pretty well. She woke up a few times crying for "Mommy" and "Daddy", and of course she wanted to sleep right next to us. Overall, Emily loved playing with all the other kids, running around as much as she wanted, and eating camp food.
The only question I have now is when can I go camping again?
