Our Hunting Camp Adventure!

Since John Turner came home from the hospital Carlton has been trying to talk me into taking him to spend the night at the hunting camp. I told Carlton a few weeks ago that if he would clean the camp from top to bottom(hunting camps are not usually known for their cleanliness!)that we would spend one night there with him soon. Well, he did get that camp cleaned! It was virtually spotless as far as hunting camps go. So I reluctantly agreed that we would spend Friday night with him at the camp. Well, this trip didn't quite go as we had planned! Here is the story!

Carlton got off work around lunch on Friday. When he got home we loaded up all of our stuff. This took about an hour! I think we packed the whole house since John Turner was going with us. The ride up there was great! Not a peep was heard out of the little one. We arrived at the camp, spent another hour unloading everything we brought, set up the pack-n-play(aren't those things supposed to be easy???), and settled in for the night. Carlton decided he would go hunting for a couple of hours. John Turner ate and took a nap. I sat and did what I like to do at the camp-- read a good magazine! Carlton got back and we ate supper and played with John Turner. Well, around 8:30 it was time to eat and get ready for bed as we always do at that time. We fed him, wrapped him up, and layed him down in that wonderful pack-n-play we brought for him to sleep in. We usually hear nothing from him after that. Well this time we did. He began screaming! We tried everything. He screamed until after 11:00! At that point Carlton and I had had enough of our hunting camp adventure. We decided to pack up and head home. So... we spent about another hour loading up everything we had brought while John Turner continued to scream! Once we got on the road John Turner was completely quiet. When we arrrived home we changed him, wrapped him up, and put him in his own bed. After that we did not hear a peep until 6:30 this morning!

Moral of the story: John Turner needs to be in his own bed at night to sleep!
I bet Carlton won't be trying to talk me into bringing him to the hunting camp for a while!

I did get some cute pics before all of the chaos began!!
