Leda's First Time Camping..


Andrew, Leda and myself went to Fair Havens from June 23rd - June 27th.
I have gone to my parents house with Leda and spent the night and we have gone across the border once, but this was Leda's biggest trip and I think with any new baby you are curious about how they are going to do. Leda is a fairly adaptable baby and I was not really concerned, but she exceeded my expectations (in a positive way of course).
Leda slept in her play pen in the "add-a-room" and a couple of the nights she slept better there then she does at home. It rained a lot while we were there and I think she liked the sound of the rain on the roof. It helped to create some fantastic white noise.
The trailer was great and it was nice having somewhere to be while it rained and we did not feel cramped. We still made our way out in the rain for walks and Leda was nicely protected under her rain cover.
It was fun enjoying Leda in a different environment. Sometimes I feel we go stir crazy in this little house and Leda always seems happiest when we are out and about. The same was true for camping.

 Leda enjoyed watching all of the people and did well with the long walks in the stroller. Now that Leda is eating finger foods it is a little easier to distract her sometimes. I am very thankful for Baby Mum-Mum's. One of the highlights of the trip was the awesome splash pad. Leda loves the water and she is a little trooper.

The water was chilly!!



Leda is never to sure what to think about water on her face.
A beautiful picture of a beautiful girl :)
lol...I love the look on her face :)

Some Things I Learned About Leda While Camping

  1. Leda loves hummus
  2. Leda hates the texture of hamburger
  3. Leda LOVES Johnny Cash and his music makes her stop crying and also helped put her to sleep on the way home :)
  4. Leda's newest favorite toy is her tambourine and she is really good at smacking it and trying to make music
Here are some more pictures of our trip..

I love Leda's Valco highchair. It folds up flat and easy to bring on trips.

Andrew and Leda watching a church cheering competition. It was pretty entertaining.

I love Leda in purple :)

lol...Leda and her tambourine. Leda knows when I am going to take a picture now and closes her eyes because of the flash.

Leda all bundled up for sleep. She looks like an angry little doll.

On our way home we stopped off at The Apple Factory and they had some farm animals to watch.
