This past weekend was our first time camping with a baby and our first time camping with a baby in a spica cast. I imagine it was a bit easier to deal with the spica part since we had no previous experience of what camping with a baby would be like.
In true Mackenzie fashion, she took it like a champ. She loves being outside so she really enjoyed that aspect of the trip. We brought her spica chair with us and she would eat her meals there. Our bed doubled as a diaper changing station. We went for lots of walks. And, besides that she didn't ever want to go to sleep for fear of missing any of the action, she slept through the night right until 7:30 am both nights we slept out there!

The only negatives really were that this weekend was the hottest one yet so we left a day early and on the last day spent some time in our friend's air conditioned trailer to try to avoid her getting sweaty. There were also a ton of mosquitos so when she was outside she was either in her stroller that has the net or I doused her in lots of California Baby bug spray.

All in all I'd say the weekend was a success! We are looking forward to hopefully doing some more camping later in the summer.
