The Osburns: ...Ry's 1st REAL camping trip...

We went camping last year with my family in cabins with running water and a kitchen to cook your food in and bathrooms... so thats not REAL camping! We decided since Ry sleeps so good through the night, and she loves to be outside that she was ready to go camping!!! Ya, maybe we should have re- thought that one!

Our friends Ambre and Jovy came down to go with us, so I was super excited to see them. We live closer then we did in NY, but I see them way less... go figure. Anyways we got everything packed and ready to go ( thanks to my dad who made sure we hadnt forgotten anything!!!), and headed up Payson Canyon. About half way up Ry puked everywhere. I felt bad for Ambre and Jovs cause they were right next to her in the back, so they got to smell it the rest of the way up. I think she got car sick. I used to always get carsick going up that canyon. You're probably thinking no big deal, just change her into something else. The problem with that is, I always overpack, like really overpack, so this time I didnt. I didnt bring one extra thing for her to wear. Just what she had on, pajamas, and an outfit for the next day. This is why I overpack people!!! We stripped her down, washed her jeans with bottled water and lotion, and let them dry by the fire. Rylee didnt care that all she had on was a diaper and her sneakers. Thats what she would love to wear all the time! That night my dad and my brother John came up to eat with us. I love being in the canyon right as the sun goes down... its so pretty and the the tempature is perfect! After we ate, and my dad and John left we were all so exhausted that we just sat around the fire talking for a little bit, and then headed off to bed. I figured Rylee would sleep good through the night, so I was looking forward to a great nights sleep. That all crashed and burned at about

3 am when Miss Rylee woke up crying and puking. Then it started raining and blowing. We were good in our tents, but I could hear Jovs and Ambre getting a little frieked out! They didnt want to get in our tent, so they stuck out the scary night by themselves. Fianlly at 6 Rylee went back to bed. Usually I would just let her cry herself back to sleep, but there were people camped all around us, so I couldnt this time. We played with her glow worm for about 2 hours and then looked at books the last hour. I never need to hear that glow worm sing again. Rylee doesnt like to keep balnkets on her, so when she woke up ( both at 3 am and again at 8 am) she was FREEZING! The bottom half of her was fine, but the top half was an icicle... poor girl! She was so happy to get out of that tent and go walk around in the dirt. I got her to sit long enough to eat some breakfast- a piece of cheese. Then she was on the run again. She kept going to Ambre and Jovy's tent and yelling at them. When everyone finally got up we had a great breakfast... nothing like breakfast in the canyon, cleaned up, packed up, and headed home. Its so much work for just one night. Next time we are going the whole weekend, with no baby!

Not the best picture of any of us, but I love Rylee in the background

She loved watching the fire. We had to watch her real close!

Just getting a little milk drunk while her pants dry

Hanging out with dad!

Our little camping family.

She was in heaven carrying around her shovel and pail picking up rocks!

Can you tell by all the dirt and candy on her face that she had a great time?!

Great picture of my dad and John

The Boys

I was thinking this was when she got up at 3, but it was right before she went to bed. She thought the flashlight was pretty fun to play with!

Awwww... a sleeping baby.

Grrrrr... a baby up at 3 am!

Rylee's new thing is this-

She will dump a little bit of her bottle on her hand, rub it in like lotion, and then put it all over her face. All I can think of is that she has watched me put lotion on, and is pretending to do the same.
