Looked Good On Paper

It’s been a while since we went camping. The last time I was pregnant with Conner, we went to Dinosaur National Park in Vernal, UT. I was only 5 months along, was feeling great. We had a good time.

The next time we went to Flaming Gorge in 2005 before my brother Lucas left. I wouldn’t call it “camping” since Conner, my mom and I slept in a motel nearby but we still had a great time. (I just read this after publishing it. I guess the Flaming Gorge trip would be the last time I went camping, duh)

Last week we spent 1 night in Yosemite. What a beautiful park! It didn’t go as planned because instead of the 3-4 hours Google maps told us it would take to get there, it took us 7 hours. So we got there at midnight, Ben set up the tent and went to sleep. I was worried that Dallas wouldn’t sleep well since he never spent a night in a tent, I was having visions of me chasing him all over the campsite, or telling him for the 100th time that it was time to sleep, but nope, he did great. I guess 7 hours strapped in a car seat do that to you…

The next morning we had some time to explore a little, so we drove some more and took some pictures.

A trip is never complete unless he throws a fit!

Quick! He’s smiling and not trying to grab the camera! Take a picture!

After getting some snacks, a magnet (a staple souvenir in our trips) and a sticker for the car, we headed back home. But not without getting lost first! That day I went 2 hours late into work. Oops.
