Riley and Avery

So we went camping Aug. 30- Sept. 1 in order to try out Rudi's new (to us) Nissan Pathfinder. We only went about 35 miles south of Colorado Springs to Pueblo, where the Colorado State Fair was taking place. More on the fair at another post. Anyhow, the winds sure howled on our second and last night at the campground. The winds were at least 60mph and LITERALLY FLATTENED OUR TENT TO THE GROUND every thirty seconds. I was in the tent trying to get Riley and Avery to sleep. At first, their eyes were wide open, but not scared. They eventually went to sleep in the middle of it. I wanted to leave the tent but didn't want to leave them in there alone with the winds, so I lay there protecting them as much as possible, making sure they could breathe when the tent covered their faces, and hoping that the wind wouldn't snap one of the tent poles and become a projectile that would harpoon us in our sleep. This went on for more than an hour. Otherwise, camping was pretty fun, but next time we will bring an inflatable mattress since laying on my side to breastfeed all night on top of rocks is not comfortable to say the least.
