Alex's first camping trip

This past weekend we took Alex on his first camping trip.  I was a little nervous, because last weekend, we went to DC for the day and the car ride didn't go so well.  But, this trip went suprisingly well.

We took him wheeling this weekend.  It was so exciting for him that he slept through all of the rides. It was the first time he got to sit in the seat facing front.









The craziest part of the weekend was when Matt, Stacy, Andrew, Alex, and myself went looking for the mud hole.  Up to this point we had done some pretty technical trails and had some fairly tense moments when we thought the truck might not get to keep going.  But we had successfully done two day rides and one night ride.   Then we went looking for the mud hole.

We found a water hole, not the mud hole Matt was looking for, but it was fun.  Matt was driving and we being a wussy about going through the water.  We finally talked him into going through the puddle.  I wanted him to go one way, he decided to go the opposite.

It took a few minutes to get wenched out and then about another 30 minutes to get the car dried out.  We were very lucky and the car is fine.  Very muddy, but still working.
