saturday after the carnival, there's always a big water fight. mama and daddy said i was too little to play in it. i was SO mad! mama stayed outside and took pictures of everyone playing and daddy made me go in the tent to take a nap. remember, i only had a few hours of sleep the night before. boy, i cried and cried and they just wouldn't let me out to play. once the water fight was over, we all started to get ready for dinner. we cleaned up and ate and then took our family photo before it started to get dark.
that night was the talent show and daddy 'sang' and danced a song. everyone was laughing so hard, but i had finally fallen asleep. it was after 10 pm! mama held me until she got tired and then put me to bed in the tent. she got my jamas on and tucked me into my new sleeping bag and i didn't even know it. she and daddy went and hung out by the campfire until 1 am with all their grown up friends and family until i woke up. i did NOT like that one bit! it was dark and because it was so hot out all day i had kicked off all my covers and now i was really cold. i couldn't see anything and mom and daddy weren't in the tent, so i started to cry...it was a little scary (but don't tell anyone i said that). mama came to bed after that, but i didn't want to sleep. daddy was still hanging out by the fire, so i didn't want to sleep. i just got one of my books out and asked mommy to read it. she was not very happy with me, but she did read it. i finally laid back down when mommy got ready for bed and laid down in her sleeping bag. she actually fell asleep before me [at 2:30 am!!].
the next day, sunday, our last day was fun again. i woke right up around 5 am with the rooster again. i believe that gave me about 9 hours of sleep friday thru sunday. mom and dad weren't too thrilled. but, i got myself up and read and played until mom and dad finally got up and got me dressed so i could go back to the playground and play more in the dirt and sand. we had breakfast and spent more time with our friends and family and started to pack up. while we were packing up though, a huge thunderstorm came through and we had to leave everything out and go into the car. so, everything got soaking wet. mommy and daddy were running around throwing everything back into the tent and they had to cover the tent back up and close it all up. it didn't matter though. everything, including them, were soaking wet! i thought it was pretty funny. mommy literally threw me into the backseat of the car (gently, of course) with a snack and I watched them run around in the rain and thunder and lightning. you know that that meant....after the storm stopped, i got to play in the mud and run around more while mom and dad sopped up all the water that got in the tent and try to dry everything off so they could finally pack it all up. when we finally left, i was really hungry because it was a little later than lunch time. the storm kind of threw off our timing. we got some more snacks out so we could get on the road then get a carry out lunch. i didn't even get one graham cracker eaten before i fell asleep....it was a great first camping trip!!!
