Aidan's 1st Camping Trip

This weekend we went to Sly Park for our first family camping trip. It was such a beautiful weekend. As usual, Aidan was a wonderful kid. He loved the dirt, the rocks, the trees, the campfire, the whole experience. He's easier to camp with than some adults! We look forward to many more trips to come. :)
Notice the pacifier in the mouth. The next two pictures might explain why mommy gave him this special treat.

rocks. rocks. twigs. rocks. mouth.
insert pacifier.
going for a hike around Jenkinson Lake.
20 minutes into the hike.
all bundled up for the cool night. Waving to the fire. Waving is a new thing he's finally learned how to do. Of course, he waves to everything that catches his interest.
such a tired man

bed head like no other! Gotta love that wavy hair!
loving waking up in the tent!
a new day and more exploring to do!

such a dirty boy. Notice the ring around the pacifier! It went a little something like this, pacifier down, pacifier with dirt in the mouth. :) There was lots of scooting and walking in the dirt too.
Oh, and for those of you that know of Aidan's horrible gag reflex...we finally got something solid in his mouth! (not including the rocks!) We've convinced him that Gerber Banana puffs are yummy! Such progress! He even signs more for them!
