G took is first camping trip! We took the fam over 4th of July weekend with Greysen's BFF Bennett (and his parents Amy and Rory) to the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forrest near Wise River. He slept in his own "tent" (inside our tent) which we've dubbed the Phil & Ted's Excellent Adventure. 
We got rained on, eaten alive by mosquitoes and woke up to frost on the outside of our tents. Yet, G was a trooper - had fun being outside and slept beautifully (for the most part) each night we were there.

We took a hike while camping over the 4th of July weekend. Greysen wasn't able to hike on his own (doesn't have hiking boots yet), so his Papa carried him in the Baby Bjorn.
G LOVED it - stared at the trees, smiled and cooed at the sun and even hung out on the rock that we now call the Poop Rock for obvious reasons. 
We hiked for 3 hours and it was only at the end that he fussed a bit and wanted to get out of the contraption on his Papa's front. Good little boy!

We went to Elkhorn Hot Springs on July 4th. For a short time, we had the hot springs entirely to ourselves. We even took G's Excellent Adventure into the hot springs so he could nap. 
He got a little too much sun on his cheeks (though we slatherd him with sunscreen) but other than that, he was a content little boy for the better part of the afternoon while we soaked in the sun and the hot springs.

In all, G's first camping trip was a success. We had a great time with the Ruff-Pearson family and hope there will be many more camping trips in the future. 
I love these pictures! Also, Happy Anniversary!
