1. Both kids fell asleep the second their head hit the pillow....(no rocking, no reading, no water, no "I need to go to the bathroom" and any other excuse Belle often thinks of before going to bed AND no waking 5 times for the first hour after putting Mark down for the night). Seriously can't get better than that.
2. They slept in until nearly 8:00 a.m.
3. Mark only woke once a night to feed.
It was about the greatest thing ever, although I still wouldn't say we got quality sleep in the tent, but much better than we expected!
We had a great time visiting with Danelle, BC, Noah, and Will and we were really thankful to Nana and Papa who watched the kids while Jamie and I got out on some beautiful bike rides! Here are some photos of our exciting 4 day trip to Turquoise Lake in Leadville.
The hike behind our campsite. And, yes it rained a little that night, so Belle insisted on wearing her rain boots.
Kisses from Will.
Happy 3rd Birthday, Noah!! Belle loves you! It's not a party without the party hats.
Dinner by the camp fire, followed by Noah riding his bike and Isabelle chasing him in circles for about an hour straight. Hmmm....could be why she slept so well???
Good Morning! (I couldn't figure out how to turn the picture)
Sierra slept like a gem too, if you can't tell here.
Loving her brother.
Mark's first camping experience and he loved every second of it.
Making s'mores for the first time.
"Ta da!" She liked it, but didn't love it, thank goodness :) She much preferred to just eat the chocolate.
What? You don't floss when camping?
Our hike to the Matchless Mine where Baby Doe Tabor lived and died. Mark's down there being smothered by Belle, which is not uncommon.

I'm beyond impressed that you went camping for four days with two little ones, the idea is overwhelming to me! It looks like so much fun and I'm so glad they were such good sleepers! Maybe we'll try it next year when I'm not such a baby :)
