First attempt at camping

Over the weekend Dad had a BBQ competition at Alki Beach. We all left for Alki early Saturday morning, pitched our tent, and started cooking. Max did great, but we think it was all just a bit too much excitement, because we would not sleep at all. At 10pm, after two 20 minute naps all day, he was still wide-eyed and playing. We finally decided to go home for the night when everyone started up their smokers, there was a nice BBQ haze up and down the shoreline. Probably not the best for Max to breathe. Mom and Max packed up and by the time we drove a half block Max was sound asleep. Dad later reported that it was freezing at night, so Mom and Max were happy to wake up in a nice warm house. We then headed down the next morning for some more fun BBQing. Later that day Grandma and Grandpa Nick came down and picked Max up and then auntie Jennie babysat while Mom and Dad went to the Seahawks game (boo). Overall a great weekend, we will just probably have to wait until next summer to get a full night of camping in!
