We took Elliot on his first campout! He did great! It was really cold up on the mountain, and not just for us wimpy Arizonans. It was in the 30's at night. We were all bundled up, but getting up to nurse a baby in the middle of the night in freezing weather wasn't the most fun. I dragged the sleeping bag with me, put on my coat, and sat in a camping chair that fit inside the tent. It wasn't too bad.
I thought that we would never get to use that red hat. I was proved wrong!
The campout was quite fun. We went up to a church owned girl's camp on Mt. Lemmon. They have a bunch of tent pavilions and a (heated) lodge. We played games in the lodge at night. Elliot slept in his carseat, which was convenient- we kept him with us in the lodge then carried the whole seat out to our tent at bedtime. The next day there was a Twister tournament. I have never seen such competitive Twister playing! Things got cut throat. The Lewis' also brought some awesome nerf bows & arrows that were used dodgeball style.

Elliot started spontaneously laughing as we drove away. I'm not sure what was so funny- he was by himself in the back seat. Maybe he liked the bumpy dirt road? Aaron reached back with his phone and managed to catch some of it on video. This is also good documentation of his new favorite hobby- drooling all over the place.
Here's a few pictures from the drive up the mountain:
Your baby is adorable. Excellent work. Also, thanks for bringing back all the awesome/awkward memories of my Girls' Camps up there.
