Despite the severe thunderstorm warning for Friday night (which amounted to some distant rumbling and rain), we took the family camping with three other families. Braden is the youngest O'Donnell (at 4 months) to experience one of our favorite summer activities. Looking back at our camping journal, Tegan was 8 months on her first camping trip and Finn was 11 months. Well technically, we camped when Tegan was still in the belly, and last summer exactly one year ago this weekend we were camping when we announced the news of a new baby in Mommy's belly to Tegan and Finn at this same campground. Braden made a great camper - slept well whether in our arms, a carrier, or the tent and never complained once!
All the kids had such a great time hanging out together - they were busy digging, being "woodsmen" chopping down (hitting) trees with sticks, playing hide and seek, swimming in the rain, hanging around the campsite, and enjoying the large playground.
As for swimming, despite the drops of rain to add atmosphere, Braden went in for the first time. He loved it!
Smart guys - a little shelter from the rain!
