It's almost time!

I'm so excited! It's almost time to go camping. A couple more weeks and the weather will be perfect. My boyfriend and I love to go camping, we can't wait to bring Maire with us. This will be her first time out in the wilderness. I can't wait to see how she's going to react to the idea of sleeping in a tent. I hope she likes it and will sleep ok. This is going to be a great opportunity for her to go out and explore brand new things she's never experienced. One thing that I am worried about though is the bugs, especially bees and mosquitoes. I just hope she's not allergic. Oh I'm so excited I can barley wait! Our next year I'm going to see about canoeing, or I might just wait until she's five. We'll see.

  1. You will love going camping with Maire! We have taken our kids camping since they were little and in general they have loved it. Gracie especially has loved it, but she's a real outdoor girl. I was always stunned, however, by how incredible DIRTY she would get. Luckily, I'm not much of a clean freak so it wouldn't bother me. She would just sit in the dirt and play with it. Her favorite camping toy used to be cups or buckets of any kind. She would load them with dirt or grass or dandelions or stones and then transfer them from one cup to another. It would keep her so occupied but, boy, would she get messy!!

    I agree with your saying it will give Maire a chance to explore new things. Experiences like this, especially outside, are so good for them. I could practically hear the brain cells expanding and growing with my kids. It's awesome! Have fun!:-)
