I recently had a week off of work so we decided that it would be a great time to take our little guy camping for the first time.  Many of Chanin’s family members have memberships to the Silent Valley campground so we made the necessary arrangements and headed up into the mountains.  Luckily, Chanin’s parents have a travel trailer that we were able to use.  It made things much easier to deal with and little Gavin was comfortable.  There’s nothing like having beds, a table, stove/oven, microwave, private bathroom, etc to make things nice!

Once we were up in the mountains I turned off my cell phone (well, actually sent a couple emails but after that I left it off) and never booted a computer for 6 full days!  Taking a ride in the wagon was Gavin’s favorite activity, and the only place we could get him to take a nap.  Chanin and I enjoyed eating (of course!), playing mini golf, hanging out in the pool, and taking our little dude for walks.  Gavin also loved the pool so we spent a couple days there. For a change of scenery we took a little trip up to Idyllwild where we bought some yummy beef jerky.

Later in the week Gavin’s Nana and Papa, and Aunt Lori/Uncle Eric came to visit.  The Aunt Martha’s were also camping with their brand spankin’ new trailer.  We all celebrated Labor Day with a BBQ and margaritas.  MMMmmmm…
