I wasn't a ton of help, as i still have lifting restrictions in place after my surgery. Adam had to do most of the heavy lifting and that included taking Cori to the playground so she could swing. I was in charge of food. That is a very important thing to be in charge of!
Cori loved camping. She loved roasting hot dogs, visiting the nature center and playing with the other kids. We had 6 kids at our campsite. Cori was by far the youngest and all of the children catered to her and helped her and doted on her. What a rude awakening Cori had when we came home and it was back to routine as usual! hee hee Swimming was out of the question. The lake has been taken over by a turquoise colored algae. When the temperature gets warm, the algae "blooms" and it is pretty disgusting. I can't describe it to do it justice.
To stay cool, the kids would play games or be crafty in the campers with the A/C on high. For whatever reason, the adults stayed out doors and sat around the fire talking and just sweating our butts off. The kids were certainly the smarter group in this instance!
At night it took Cori forever to go to sleep! That kid heard noises from everywhere! And ever time there was a noise, there was a question from Cori, "What's that noise?" The third night we got smart and let her fall asleep in a camper watching a movie. Then all Adam had to do was pick her up and carry her to the tent. Next time we will know better.
Our camping adventure was fun although HOT. So fun in fact that we are looking at campers. Nothing fancy, just something that will keep Mommy and Daddy from sleeping on the ground. And ok, i admit it, something with some A/C so we can play cards without the cards melting as we play!
