We camped with friends last weekend at San Clemente for Reed's first birthday. I don't know why I don't have ANY pictures of any of them, but there were 5 other families at the campsite, plus Sean and Nicole (Wade's cousin) camped at our site Friday and Saturday night. It was so much fun, I'd love to make it an annual thing. The boys had a blast, Reed was a tough age since he's not walking yet (or at least wasn't walking at the time) and therefor if he's on the ground he just gets filthy... but I borrowed a play pen and wore him in the Ergo a lot and managed just fine. Ian would want in the play pen to play with Reed - it's really great seeing them start to play together. Friday and Saturday we went down to the beach for most of the day (or at least some of us), and Ian loved the ocean. The waves were strong so someone literally had to be right by him or he'd get swept back out to the sea - but I think he enjoyed the rough waves and ran in and out of the waves for hours! We all sang happy birthday to Reed a the campsite (barely made it before he crashed before bedtime) and when everyone started singing he was just in awe staring at everyone singing to him. I forgot how Ian did that on his first birthday, too.

Oh and Kyla came on the trip, too! The perfect MELLOW camping dog! I love our camping adventures and it's so fun to be able to share these experiences with our boys now, too!

GOT A DECENT PICTURE OF THE TWO OF THEM!!! 

Wagon rides around the campsite are a true highlight of the trip (as well as bike rides for Ian).

Reed Garrett on his first birthday - as cute as can be!!

This is why it's so hard getting pictures lately - here's what Ian will do (among a hundred other things) when we try to take a group picture. <insert eye roll>

We celebrated again when we got home on Sunday with Enid and Whitney and she brought the most delicious cake from Everything Bunt Cake - so yummy!!
