Yuba Lake - Camping

Monday and Tuesday we went camping with my dad and his family at Yuba Lake. His wife has a boat and so we all spent the 2 days boating and playing on the beach. It was a lot of fun! But a lot of work with a 5 month old! He loved it though! We of course brought his Jumperoo and set it up in the sand under the shade canopys and he jumped away while looking around at the water and everyone!


The weather was perfect except for the annoying wind that would kick up out of no where! But the temps in the shade were amazing. Me and Jaxon spent most of the time in the shade with our toes in the sand and hanging out! :) But we did take him swimming for a little while -



My sister Stef introducing him to the water!


LOVE his little toes in the water! :)

We did have a little life jacket for him, so we decided to take him on the boat with us for a little ride. He was not a huge fan of the life jacket... and this is how well the boat ride went....


He slept pretty much the whole time! :)


Jaxon also got to meet his great grandma (my grandma)! He thought she was HILARIOUS! I can not even describe how hard she got him laughing! It was too freaking cute!!! I am so glad they were able to come down and meet him!





Monday night we ate dinner and hung out around the fire and played games and stuff! Stef was a sweet heart and put Jaxon to sleep in her lap, and then we laid him in his stroller and covered him with a blanket. Once we got to bed and everything it was cool.... but not too bad. But I had Jaxon well bundled! About 3 in the morning he woke up fussing a little in his pack n play and I was FREEZING my butt off!!!! We forgot pillows and Joel had to use our big comforter for a pillow! Anyway to make a long story short I pulled Jaxon into my sleeping bag and he slept with me... him and his 3 blankets kept me much warmer :) I loved cuddling with him all night! :)




We all slept as good as can be expected when your on the ground... but he did wake up early! :) We hung out in our tent for like an hour at least cuddling and talking! Awwww



After we got up and packed up our tent and everything he was ready for a little nap. I laid him in the stroller again and he fell asleep all through breakfast. I had to post this picture because he looks so comfy and warm! :)


I am not a huge camping girl... but I did have a lot of fun and am thankful Joel convinced me to go. Jaxon was an angel and even though I wanted to rip Joels head off because I was so cold all night - I got to spend time with the 2 guys in my life I love the most! And sleeping with Jaxon on one side of me and Joel on the other was really special!!!


Thanks Dad and Celeste for planning everything and for getting us a really nice campsite! We had fun!!!
