Camping in the Rain

 We went on our last camping trip of the summer...and it rained, and rained, and rained. Fortunately, we went with some friends who have a trailer with an awning that provided us shelter, and we were able to seek refuge inside their trailer. Callie LOVED the rain boots our friends were kind enough to buy for her. So much so that she insists on wearing them around the house as well and wanted to take them to bed. I had to tell her the boots needed to go night night to get her to leave them alone.

Although it was fun to splash in the puddles and try and take a shower in the drip from the corner of the awning, I think she was ready to go home by Sunday. The rain had slowed down, so we figured we would pack up our stuff. Every time we opened the car door, Callie said "car seat?" So we ended up leaving a little earlier than planned. And she was tired because she slept for almost 2 hours in the car, which is unheard of.

After our last long car ride, we decided to buy her an MP3 player in hopes that we could sing just a little less. We love singing to her, but one can only sing "The Wheels on the Bus," "Ring Around the Rosie," and "Elmo's Song" so many times. It was a huge success. We didn't have to sing once!
