Hello to the 2 people who care about this blog! Ha ha! So I really enjoyed blogging the firs tcouple times and then wanted to blog more and just never got around to it! But Im back now! I know you're excited!
So the second week in June we had our firs tcamping trip with Broden! We went with my parents and my sisters fam! We went down to Brown County. And not to Mark and I's surprise the second we pulled onto the campsite it started POURING rain! Not just a little no no no! It flooded the campsite! Everytime Mark and I go camping it pours! So campers beware of camping with us! But anyway. It finally stopped and we were able set up camp. Broden had just started to army crawl so it was a bit challenging to get things set up and keep Broden from escaping!
The Indiana humidity did not escape us though! So we were wet from the rain and sweat of working to get things set up! And then to add to the fun Annabelle (my sisters 3 year old daughter) was having some girl issues and had to be taken to the local clinic to get some meds to help her feel better. So as they got in the truck to take off we found that as the rain fell the truck got a little stuck. So as my mom floored the gas my dad wisely stood behind the truck to make sure things were moving along and then....SPLAT! He was covered in mud! It was funny to see my dad covered in mud. What made it even more funny was that he was wearing the only pair of shorts he brought! So much for "man packing" being the smartest option! Luckily he and Mark are about the same size so he didnt have to stay packed in mud for long! :)
For Day number 2 My mom, siter, Broden and I went into town to shop and hang out. It was a bit hot but we definetly had fun! Mark, Dave and Eli went fishing and My dad and Annabelle stayed at the campsite to hang out and relax. But the drama for my dad continued! Dad wanted to stay at the campsite to relax and read his book which worked out so Annabelle could take a nap. However...Once Annabelle went to take her nap and dad went to get his book out of the truck he realized that the my mom had taken the keys with her and so he couldnt get his book! :( Poor daddy! The hits just kept on coming!
That night we all settled in for dinner and to relax. We had a big tarp and blanket set out for Broden to crawl around on. He thought it was great! Then we attempted to feed him! That was an adventure in itself. Papaw gave it a try but true to this trip it just didnt go well! I put some pics here of that craziness! Then the rumbles started in the distance again!! Dun dun dun (those were ominous drum sounds just in case you didnt catch that!) So there everyone went with thier technology! Everyone had thier phones out checking the radar. And just as Mark and I always expect when we camp, more rain! And not just rain but a HUGE Red blob coming straight for us! So we tryed to get the campsite and chairs and put up and protected from the rain and took shelter in our tents. As soon as I ducked into the tent the wind and rain started! This time it stormed really bad! We had limbs falling on our tent! Scary! And let me tell you thunder is soooo much louder when you are hunkered in a tent!! The first snap of thunder scared Broden! So I grabbed him and he and Mark and I huddled together until the storm passed! We survived!
So after a long night we woke had soem breakfast hung out for while and then packed up and ended our adventure! So now everyone is ukp to date on our first camping trip with Broden!
