First 4wheeling trip and Mike's 1st Father's day

Last Thursday, we loaded up the camper with the ton of stuff for Allison, the 4wheeler, and all our other essentials and headed out to St. Joe's State Park in Missouri for our Annual 4wheeling trip.  After our last camping trip with Allison I was prepared for the no naps and not sleeping very well at night, but Allison loves outside so we were going to have fun.  We stopped at Hardees to eat before getting to the campground.  I get Allison out of her seat and realize that she has peed everywhere.  So Mike and I grab all her stuff and head into Hardees to order food and change her diaper.  I get into the bathroom only to notice that there is NO changing station.  REALLY!!!  Does Hardees not expect people to have kids and need to change their diaper?  So we head back out to the truck, which is not parked by the door mind you because we have a 25ft camper with it and it's hot, to change Alli's diaper and clothes.  I get her all set and we head back in to get food.  Alli was great while we ate!  Mike gets her out of the high chair and she has peed again all over her clothes.  It was mostly all over her pants, but I didn't have anything else in her diaper bag and I couldn't get to her clothes in the camper.  So i stripped her down to her onsie and back in her car seat she went.  We get to the campground and get the camper set up probably easier than ever.  Our friend Mona took Alli for a walk so she could fall asleep.  Alli took a good nap outside.  I went to take her over and change her and she had peed again in her stroller.  Her stroller was sopping wet so I had to put it in front of a fan to dry and change her clothes yet again.  I wasn't sure how this weekend was going to go after that.  I had quite the load of laundry and we hadn't even been there 4 hours.   There was a nice playground there and so Allison got to play on her very first playground.  They had two baby swings so we swang for awhile.  We took Allison's favorite toy, her jumperoo, and she had a blast playing in it outside. 





She is such a happy girl outside.  She got to visit with lots of friends.  She had a great time.  I can't believe how much she loves outside. 



There were a few times that it was hot so we went in to play.  She loves having her toys in her bag so she can play with all of them.






Allison had a rough night Friday night and was up from midnight to 6 am off and on.  But she was pretty good that day and slept ALL night Saturday night which was a first in the camper.  She really was a good girl and was so happy.  We have been blessed with such a happy baby.


Sunday was Mike's first father's day.  I would like to say that we made it super special by him not having to do any work and he got breakfast in bed, but that didn't happen.  Let's face it, I can't do much with the outside of the camper so he had to work a lot that day and then drive all the way home.  I did let him sneek in a little nap in his chair when we got home.  Sunday morning before we left the camp site, Allison and I gave Daddy his gifts.  Mommy got Daddy a Dad and Me camo picture frame for he and Allison's special times.  I got this especially for their first hunting trip together.  Yes I know it is a few years away yet, but it was just so fitting.  Allison got Daddy a gift certificate for Cabela's and lots of kisses.  I think he had a good day all and all.  I know he was really happy just having his baby with him.
