Emmie's first camping trip

We took Emerson--just days shy of her first birthday--to Hawn State Park for an overnight camping trip. We improvised a 'baby containment system' that consisted of a moderately sized inflatable kids pool.

Once escape was thwarted repeatedly, Emerson grew frustrated with this arrangement.

Clyde took it all in stride. However, he is a little bit on the "short bus" end of the intelligence spectrum when it comes to exploring by himself while on a long tether.

Swinging helped calm Emerson down. It was all we could do to keep Marantha off the swings herself.

Wheee!
