Fridays with Fin :: Camping Cranks

We had our first camping trip as a family! We decided to head up to Door County, WI for two nights of camping at Peninsula State Park. The hubby and I use to camp there during our pre-baby days and LOVED it, so thought, "why not"!

Here's a pic of Finny on the way up... and then on the last day... You decide how well it went! ;P
Let's just say we learned it is a LOT different going camping as a couple than with a toddler! When the first morning bird chirped, our boy was UP and at 'em! He did NOT care if it meant it was 4:52am! And in general, he was just a real crab {which I'm blaming on teething and maybe some of dad's genes, hahah, just kidding!} So, then our time was spent basically pawning Fin off on each other so we could give the other time to rest! But as usual, I'm being dramatic, and there waaas a lot of good moments too!
We enjoyed lots of walks, time on the beach and some shopping {yes, that pic of Fin and daddy in the chairs is Fin in "time out", hence the scowl on daddy's face!}.
Mama and Fin enjoyed being our goofball selves! But, believe me, mama needed that wine cooler in the pic above! 
A woman near us on the beach came up to us and said our family was so cute that she had to snap a pic of us! So, I guess we were fooling everyone that we were a happy, fun family! :)

Fin's favorite place all three days of camping??? ... inside our car. 
And now that it's been a week after the whole camping experience, I look at those faces and moments captured and realize how amazing of a trip it really was! In the moment, it was challenging, but it was a time we'll never forget! 
Sorry, I had to end with these pics... Yep, Fin's doing what you think he's doing! Happy weekend y'all!

  2. well, first off, you guys are totally adorable!!! Love all the pics and glad you had fun! There are always rough spots to a vaca/getaway but it's the fun memories that make it worth it (and I'm sure camping comes with more rough spots too...I'd be looking a little like Fin's crying pics!).

    I can't believe you photo'd and shared poop pics! LOL!
