Rough night, nice morning

So, we're out camping this weekend. We came out to a little campground in Southern Alberta to hang out with Amber's family. Our 5 plus Amber's parents slept in a camper that "sleeps" 5 or 6.

Andrew was up all night. He was "sleeping" between his parents and seemed to cry every 5 minutes all night. We were trapped on a shelf and couldn't get out without stomping on the older ones. We finally got him a diaper and something from a dropper and he started to doze off, then Joshie woke up.

It's amazing how well D and J did though. They can tune out a crying baby as well as they tune out nagging parents. Daniel didn't move all night, but once Josh was up, he couldn't get back to sleep and I knew it was only a matter of time before he said those magic words, "I have to go pee!"

So, we got up and got our shoes and coats on and found our way to the "stinky room" outhouse. When we got back, we were both wide awake. I checked the time: 5:50. It felt like it was about 10•C so we started a fire and just hung out together for a while. We talked and ate some snacks and built up the fire. After a while he got a little chilly and I sent him back to bed. I brought out my book and read for a bit until Daniel woke up - maybe 15 minutes.

D came out and we had our time together. We read bible stories, did fire experiments and talked about the moon. Once the sun came out, Daniel went to go play in the sandbox. I was sitting in front of the fire with the sun starting to warm everything up. I had my own little worship time in God's beautiful creation and thought, "I could do this kind of camping."

Then other people woke up. :)
