our camping trip

We just got home from a week of camping in Doheny Beach--we used to go there starting when I was about Makena's age. So we decided it might be a fun place to revisit. We went with my parents, my sister and her boyfriend and had a site right on the beach. It was a great time, but a little tough with a 15 month old--there is not much relaxing when you are constantly making sure she doesn't meander into the fire, or eat dirt, or fall off of something she decides to climb. Not much napping took place that week--too much action I suppose! And this kid normally thrives on sleep--at home she tells me she is ready to take a nap and goes right down no problem. So you can imagine how cranky she was come evening time! But overall it was a good trip, I am sure we will do it again next year.
