Camping

Paige has been asking to go camping for like 2 weeks. My cold is finally gone and my morning sickness is almost gone too. (Hopefully for good.) So on Saturday we went camping. She really wanted Alex and Faith to come, because she knows they like camping, but they couldn't stay. They DID come up for the day though.
Paige is an EXPERT camper. As soon as I woke her up and told her we were going she jumped up and got dressed, picked out pajamas, and told me we needed her sleeping bag. She wanted to hike and climb rocks NON-STOP. She'd get back from a hike with Jess and ask to climb the big rock at our campsite. She's really good at it, even though I was terrified the whole time. They got plenty dirty.
Cason was a good camper too, although he was a little more content to just hang out most of the time and eat.
He did love the cave near our tent.
He fell asleep pretty early on my lap, which of course turned out to be a late nap.
We roasted marshmallows......and Paige told her first scary story, which was a carbon copy of the one Jess had just told. So cute. She made him tell stories for like an hour straight.
We finally got in the tent and they were JUST about asleep when some teenagers drove up and ran around talking loudly. Right when Paige and Cason were wide awake because of the noise, they all left! They weren't even camping. They drove up to the campground area at 10 pm for like 10 minutes and left. Annoying. But it was okay, because Paige and Cason were pretty hilarious for a while. They finally fell asleep, and Paige slept peacefully ALL NIGHT LONG while the rest of us tossed and turned in misery like usual when you're camping in a tent. She's the best camper ever.
Paige asked to go hiking the second she woke up. We had pancakes, she got to climb a few rocks, and we came home and all took like 3 hour long naps with piles of dirty clothes all over the house. This morning she said "I wanna go camping MORE!"
