Snowy morning at Camp Shot-ski

Beautiful day at Birch Lake

Strawberry and a 1st tooth

This Memorial Day weekend we attended our 5th Spring Strawberry Music Festival. It was Forest's first camping trip, and we had a blast! Our normal crew did not go with us,and we missed them, but we had a blast with other friends and new camps! We set up camp Shot-Ski on the edge of beautiful Coyote Meadow, and couldn't have asked for a better place to spent the 5 days and 4 nights. We got the expected snow on Thursday night, and woke up to a gorgeous dusting of the white stuff all around us, and crystal clear, bright sunny skies. Last year Jorian bought a heater for the tent-trailer, so we were toasty throughout the entire night. I was of course nervous about Forest, so I spend a majority of the night listening to the snow hit the roof and checking to make sure he was warm enough. He slept perfectly all 4 nights, and the weather was beautiful for the rest of the weekend!
Sunday night we were hunkered in at Music Meadow with our crew of friends listening to the music when Forest started screaming like we've never heard before. We immediately stripped him down to check for bug bites or hair tangled around a toe but found nothing. Jorian grabbed him and headed for camp and I grabbed what I could in the stroller and followed. He spent the next hour or so screaming, then falling asleep only to wake up screaming again over and over:( He finally fell asleep for the night and we were left wondering what was wrong. The next day we arrived home and he had a wailing session again. I checked his mouth for teeth.... and sure enough, there was a bitty little tooth popping through. Mystery solved.
I am so glad to have our first camping trip under our belt... and it was in the most brutal conditions we will ever camp in, so now we know that we can do it all:)
