On June 15 -16, we took Milo to white river for camping.
Since this was his 1st camping trip, we decided to do easy camping: a designated campsite, warm camping, lots of blankets for cozy sleeping, easy cooking etc...
Oh, should I have said that we were supposed to do so!?
It ended up having lots of OOPS...
1) Boy scout no.1 motto... "Be Prepared!" so we put everything together for Milo
including an extra blanket!!!
... and we forgot to pack our sleeping bags...
oops...
2) We went to Fred Meyer and bought 2 sleeping bags... cheapest ones at $14.99...
Their temperature rating was 40 degree! When we got at the campsite before the sunset, it was already 40 degree!!! Imagine how cold it got at night!!!
oops...
3) We picked a campsite next to white river. On the map, it looked like that the campsite could be accessable from both side of the river. So, we took one of the routes and we ended up driving on this:
It's hard to tell by the pictures, but the path was really steep and narrow. There were so many unstable rocks, and we seriously thought that the car would be flipped over...
Oh, the gate at the entrance of this path, was kinda halfway open...
oops...
4) Finally we got to the river!!!!
and found out the campsite was on the other side of the river...
Yes, on the other side of this...
Not even a bridge...
oops...

Anyway, we were there, so we decided to camp there...
Nice set up, huh!?
Before we left our house, we discussed what was the best way to keep Milo, who cannot sit by his own, at the campground. This was our best bet:
Plastic bin!!!
An instant crib/play bin!!!
It worked great... (did not look great, though...)
We got fire :-) One of the best parts of camping.
Even in the tent, it was cold, so Milo wore his socks as gloves.
We borrowed Milo's extra blanket... Seriously, it was freezing!
He got hyper at 2 am...
He woke up every 2 hours... Silas did not...
So, Yuri took Silas's blanket and gave it to Kippie ;-)
This was our 1st day/night of the camping...
To be continued...
