It became a tradition a few years ago for Brent and I to take an annual camping/boating trip to Lopez Island - our favorite of the San Juan Islands. The weekend is usually spent drinking coffee, catching crab and salmon, eating crab and salmon, driving around in search of our country home where we will retire and sitting around the campfire drinking good wine; ahh the life. This year was a bit different as we invited along our friends Chris and Amber and had the challenge of learning to camp with babies. Both babies did very well and survived sleeping in the tents on some very cold and wet nights. There were a few lessons learned for next time but I am very pleased with how adaptable Bennett is to new situations.
Taking the ferry across from Anacortes (and both babies being more interested in something other than the camera).
All bundled up and waiting for coffee after surviving the first night.

Bennett did not love the boat...but I think it's because his life jacket was the size of him and and bit too snug around.
Yum, dinner!
Bennett slept in two pairs of jammies, socks for mittens, a hat and two blankets. Snug as a bug!

We also celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary on the trip - had a picnic at the local farmers market.
Diaper changes camping style!
