Camping trip

We took Mason camping last weekend for the first time.  We were so anxious to go anywhere far just in case it didn't go as planned... we really wanted to go to the Teton's since I have never been, but decided to meet our friends in Idaho Falls and just find somewhere to camp close to that area.  We camped at this cute little place called Kelly canyon.  It was a pretty campground right next to a river.  It felt so good to be in the great outdoors.  It was so peaceful (besides the pesky mosquitoes that is).  Mason did great on the drive up and slept the entire way.  We made tinfoil dinners and just hung around camp.  At Mason's original bedtime I went and laid him in the tent just in the pack and play that we brought up.  He loved just laying there looking up at the leaves on the tree that were blowing right above him.  It soon got really dark and he fussed a little bit before drifting off to sleep.  When Heath and I went into bed he felt so cold, so I picked him up and cuddled him for a few hours.  I just stared at him during those hours in the still of the night.  I just took in his beautiful, perfect face and his perfect features.  He has the cutest little button nose and lips that are just perfectly pouted.  I couldn't help to feel the absence of Boston and him not being at our first campout as a family.  I felt his little spirit near as I cuddled Mason that night.  I didn't get much sleep, but sure had fun cuddling that baby of mine.  We can't wait to go camping again!  Mason loved being outside and seeing all of the new scenery.  I loved getting away with my little family and can't wait to go again!
