First camping trip at 8 weeks

Again this blog entry is a little old, but the photo upload is just now working for me. We had planned to go to the mountains for a camping/hiking trip, but decided on trying someplace closer. Horsetooth reservoir is just outside of the city limits of Fort Collins (so about 5 miles from home). We packed up the boat and the camping gear for Caleb's first camping weekend. He did great, slept just as well in the tent as he does at home, and seemed to enjoy being on the boat. Saturday was a little cool so he didn't go swimming, but Sunday he had his first swim in a non-chlorinated pool :) For those of you keeping track of his growth he was weighing in at 11 1/2 lbs.
Caleb in his life jacket , which he only wore on land. He really didn't like it that much, so he rode in his carseat on the boat

A little sunshine to warm up after a quick swim

Doug caught a good size small mouth bass, Caleb missed it due to taking a cat nap

Back at home, playing on the floor mat that Amber and DJ gave him, he likes to kick the ball (you can see it swinging back and forth)
