Father's Day Weekend Camping Adventure

For Father's Day, Jarred wanted to go camping, so we packed everything up and set out to Red Canyon which about an hour and a half from Albuquerque.  Far enough away to feel like you aren't even in New Mexico anymore.  This is our 4 person tent we just purchased.  It worked out great; we put Caleb's pack n' play (portable crib) on one side with the dog kennel (Penny's house) and Jarred and I on the other side.



We invited our good friends, David and Sarah to join us for our first camping trip with Caleb.  It was so great to have to another couple with us to give Jarred and I a little break holding and entertaining Caleb.  Caleb was obviously very comfortable with them!  :)


 Here we are hanging out around the campfire.


 Yes, I am a crazy nut-carrying both my backpack and Caleb-it was a pretty good workout!
We had a great camping.  Caleb did awesome-slept all night and even took a nap during the day so when we got home, he wasn't too much of a crab.  We managed to get in a great hike while we were there and Jarred's knee felt really good which was great.  Overall, Jarred had a good 1st Father's Day I think.  Caleb and I spoiled him with some gifts Sunday morning and took him to dinner than night.  (He really liked Caleb's painting!)  It was certainly a memorable, fun weekend!
