Playing Tents

This weekend was our first real camping trip with Munkey B. Munkey Daddy and I scouted out a road that runs between Diamond Fork and Highway 6 and found a nice spot in the woods to test out our new 4 wheel drive and it looked perfect for camping. We loaded the car with too much crap and made a night of it.

After we set up camp we went on a short hike in which Munkey wore her first shoes.
I don't know how he saw this but Munkey Daddy spotted a nice tarantula hanging out in the grass. After we let Munkey B pet the tarantula, it was time to go back to the camp site to start a fire. After gazing at the fire for a while, it was off to bed.

We told Munkey she was "playing tents" when we got in the tent. At home we play books and toys and when I put her in her crib she plays blankets, so this was Mukeys first time to play tents. She thought it was kind of weird to be in a tent, she kept looking up at the netting and scratching the nylon with her hands. We slept on the air mattress and she slept in her contoured changing pad, strapped in for safety. She had a hard time sleeping but I'm sure it didn't help that there was a vivid lightening storm and loud rain pounding on the tent for part of the night.

The next morning we got up early and decided to head for home and get some real sleep. Before we left, I saw a large moose in the meadow but I didn't get a picture, darn.
I hope we play tents again soon. Thanks for the weekend adventure Munkey D and Munkey B.
