We finally took Ernie camping. We like to wait for cooler, less buggy weather, and we didn't want to take him before he was old enough to sleep with a blanket. So on Saturday we drove to Hamburg, Iowa to Waubonsie State Park. The weather was perfect, and Ernie loved being outside all day and saying "camping! camping!" over and over. He slept great in the tent . . . Until Mom and Dad joined him at 10:30. Then he played jungle-gym on our sleeping-bagged bodies for the next four hours before somehow finally falling back to sleep himself. Apparently we're just too much fun to sleep through. Several times I woke up to a giggling boy saying "Pac! Pac!" (short for pacifier, of course) and jamming a Soothie into my lips. He's still recovering from the lost sleep, but he loved camping nonetheless.

You guys are so brave. Ernie sure is lucky to have such rockin' parents.
That is one of the cutest pictures I have ever seen. You guys are such great parents, taking him on so many adventures!
We both love the pictures. You had a great weekend to try this.
I wish I could've been there! He looks like he's having loads of fun.
