5 weeks old and already camping!

Way back last fall on another camping trip, our friends and us had the idea to go to Callaway Gardens during the spring to see the flowers, in particular the azaleas blooming.  We made camping reservations forever ago. It was suppose to be a 6 family camping trip...but in the end everyone had to cancel except for us and one other family.  We even had to move our reservations back one day to get back home a day early.  We ended up being at the campground for about 24 hours alone...just our family of 6 which was kind of neat.  We had been so busy that it was nice to just reflect, relax, and rejuvenate together.  Caroline was only 5 weeks old at the time...We've never been camping that early with a kid.  We figured out that Emily was about 4 months old when we camped for the first time with her, J.D. was 5 months old, Molly was about 6 or 7 months old.  But really a 5 week old just sleeps and eats so it wasn't super hard.  The biggest challenge was being in a tent now and just figuring out sleeping arrangements.  We ended up taking the pad off the changing table and it was perfect for her to sleep on right next to our air mattress.  The weather was great...and the flowers (and pollen) were incredible.  The campground is really pretty and the kids had fun riding bikes.  We spent one whole day at Callaway and packed a lunch to eat inside the park....the boys had a Frisbee tournament on the Callaway lawn.   We cooked every meal at the campsite.  It was a good time had by all....even little Caroline!
