Well, mostly... Overall, Caleb and Logan did great on their very first camping trip. I think they liked being outside so much and having lots of people to watch. They slept wonderfully the first two nights (together in their pack-n-play in our tent), but they didn't nap very well during the daytimes and by the third night they were just overdone and didn't sleep well.
We decided we're glad we went (it was actually the weekend we were in the hospital having them that we signed up to go...crazy!), but definitely wouldn't go if it weren't a group event. It's a little harder to take care of babies when you're camping, so if there weren't people to hang out with in between feedings, naps, etc. there wouldn't be much point in going. It really worked out well. We're the only ones in a tent and it really came in handy that everyone else had a camper. Due to limited space in our vehicle we were able to send some things with my brother and parents because they had plenty of room. We coordinated meals, and I was able to use my parent's camper for feeding the boys, which was great - the tent would NOT have been nice for that!
We were in Van Buren State Park near South Haven. Very nice park. We had great sites where we could all be together (Thanks, Emily!), and it was a nice walk to the beach. We went to the beach a couple times. We hung out around the campsites alot. It was quite a warm weekend. The very first night was chilly, but after that it was very warm. Saturday morning my brother Mike, Eric, and I went for a run. I did my 3 miles then my Mike joined in for a few. The three of them went for a 6 mile run this morning. Last night Mike, Mike, Eric, and my dad had a race up a sand dune. Eric smoked them. Dad made it halfway up, and in my husband's defense, he hasn't been running like Mike and Eric (he's just getting back into it this past week).
Lots of laundry to do - gotta go switch loads!
