9 Months and Camping

Mayson turned 9 months old during the last week of August, and to celebrate, we decided to take her on her first camping trip.  We packed up the 1976 Pilgrim and drove to Penrose Point State Park near Gig Harbor.  We had a nice little spot in the woods, and settled in for some fun times.  Mayson loved it at first and had a great time exploring her bunk...for about 10 minutes.  Then the tears started.  We really thought she didn't like camping.  It wasn't until after a sleepless night that we realized she had her first tooth come in overnight, had a cold, and was suffering from her 9 month shots the day before. So, we're going to assume she actually likes camping and it was the pain combo that was the problem.  Too bad we were so slow to figure things out, I think Tylenol might have helped.  Oops. We did have a great time stopping at Pt. Defiance park on the way home for a fun beach outing. Note in the all the pictures she is trying out her new tooth!
