Camping with the family!

We had a really fun weekend camping near Grande Prairie with my family! We drove up to Edmonton Thursday afternoon and stayed at Brian's parents for night - I thought it might be better for Lynsey if we split up the trip. The drive to Grande Prairie wasn't too bad - Lynsey required some attention on the drive, but we really only made one stop. The weekend was tiring, but really enjoyable. Lynsey was in her element with all the attention she was getting from her little cousins! They were walking her around and playing with her and she was loving every minute:). She slept okay at night, but didn't have the greatest naps - mostly catnaps in her stroller throughout the day. Oh, well - I guess that's the way it goes when you're camping! We had rented a trailer from the campsite and we were really thankful for it - I wouldn't have wanted to tent it with bottles and baby food and diaper changing etc. - I don't know how Mary and Dave did it! Another thing that was confirmed about Lynsey this weekend (besides how much she loves attention and is not shy in the least bit!) is how much she loves the outdoors! She was all over the grass (which wasn't nice and soft at all) and she even loved playing in the gravel (had to make sure her soother was in at all times!). We left the campsite on Monday morning and drove to Edmonton. Lynsey slept almost the whole way - wiped out apparently! We stayed in Edmonton for the day and hung out with Brian's parents and left for Calgary at 8pm, so she slept the whole way to Calgary as well - worked out great:). All in all, travelling with her isn't too bad. I hope she's getting used to the long drives because next week we are off to Manitoba!
