Camp Campos goes Camping!

This week was our maiden voyage of taking Damian camping with our new camping gear.  We decided to head to Newport for one night to see how they all would do!  
It took us a couple tries but we got our tent up no problems.  I love the new tent, we can stand up inside!  
 My parents and Joan came down for the day.  Us ladies and Damian went shopping while the boys did some coastal golfing.  Pop was on bean stirring duty :)

I think Damian got confused when we said we were having roasted wieners for dinner and started eating poor Charlie dog!


Damian did really good going to sleep, but at 1:30 in the morning he decided he wanted to play.  Not sure why he felt the need to do this as he never does it at home!  Oh well, at least he wasn't one of those screaming/crying babies at the campsite.  I have decided that a tent is like a giant pack-n-play.  They can't get out of them and there are no hard surfaces to bonk him self on.  I should set it up in the backyard for him to play in!

The next morning, after a pancake breakfast, we packed up and headed to the Marine Science Center.  The new octopus Ursula is a little shy still and was hiding in the corner but there was still lots for Damian to look at and touch.

The poor fish on the left was missing one eye and these other two never moved.

 If you have never been to the Marine Science Center in Newport I highly suggest it.  There is lots of hands on activities and fun things to look at.
