Camping with Grandpa and Grandma Nelson

Grandpa Leroy and Grandma Cathy have property out towards Belfair (think towards Gig Harbor but FAR!)…We have been wanting to visit the property since they bought it but had never made it out there…Well Sunday was the day!  We packed up, what felt like everything in our house, and headed out.  The drive was pretty and Bridget did awesome.  She just sang along to dad’s music and looked out the window. 
Grandpa and Grandma did not know we were coming (in all fairness we say we are going to go out there and then never do because the drive seems too long) so they were pretty stoked when we go there.   Grandpa took Brendan for a tour of the property and told him all of the plans for it.   Grandma, Pixie and I went to the fire to sit and snack…because this is what we do when we camp.   This was the first time Pix saw a camp fire which was fun…she got just as mesmerized as we all do.  She sat in Grandma’s lap almost the entire time.  

We stayed for a couple of hours and then headed back home with everything smelling of smoke…YUM.  (sad report: no smores…but next time!) As you know, she is not a sleeper.  She has to have her own bed, it quiet and dark to sleep…she is like Brendan this way!  After an hour of fussing she finally feel asleep in the car! She has not done this since she was an infant.
