Long Camping Trip Planned

We did our trail run with Micah last weekend in the camper and let's just say it went "ok." He had a hard time sleeping because his pack-n-play was in the middle of the kitchen overnight. No private bedroom for him. It was also hard for him to nap because we had to move his pack n play into our bedroom during the day, which has more privacy, but is still not the best. It was hot and he had to be held quite a bit.

It was hard putting him down to play too because he was just in the middle of everything. We never put our table up all weekend, and we ended up putting him on the table to play most of the time.

Now that we know how things work in the camper, we went ahead and planned our yearly trip to Illinois to see some old homeschooling friends that moved away a couple of years ago.  We will probably be gone for about a week, so we will see how that goes! I am a little scared!

We are going to be driving 425 miles to their house in two separate cars. As of now, we have decided not to buy a new towing vehicle, so we are going to be taking two cars. I will be driving the van with Micah and I don't know who else will ride with me. I guess we will see when the time comes!

We will probably spend about a week there like we usually do. We may head into Chicago one day and be tourists. That's always fun. :) 

I just have to remember that Micah is just a baby this year and next year will be better. Next year we will be chasing him everywhere!
