Camping & Padres Game

We went camping up in Mount Laguna for one night last week. Jordan had gone mountain biking up there earlier and decided he wanted to take us back for our first little family camping trip. It was surprisingly cold for being the middle of June, especially at night. But it was so beautiful that it was worth braving the weather. Clara slept great in the tent, and we want to keep this up so she stays used to it. While we were up there, we did plenty of hiking, roasted marshmallows, relaxed, and had some yummy camp food. We even stopped in Julian on our way back for a late lunch.

I've always wanted to frolic through a meadow ;)

We also went to a Padre Game for my brother's birthday. This was Clara's first baseball game as well. It was a pretty long day. We had a firefighter chili cook-off at the Embarcadero to benefit Muscular Dystrophy earlier in the day, then we walked over to the stadium. I think Clara enjoyed the crowds and excitement, and the Padres creamed the Seattle Mariners with a score of 7-1! It was a great game!

If it seems like we have been doing a lot lately, it's because we have...Jordan is going back to work this week...sigh. For as much as I griped and groaned in the beginning of his leg injury, it really has been a wonderful time having him home. He has been home for most of Clara's life, and I know he is going to miss her on those long shifts. But I think we are all ready to get back to normal, we have been spoiled for way too long!
