I should be unpacking

but this is more fun. We got home from our trip today, we went fishing/camping on the Missouri River with Monte's parents. I know by now that traveling/vacationing with a little one is not all that much of a vacation, at least it's not too relaxing. But this trip was different, it was very relaxing, and Isabella did so good with all of the adjustments to her schedule. We stayed with Monte's parents in their camper. My main concern was how she was going to sleep, because there was no room for her pack and play in the bedroom of the camper. And we didn't want to put it out in the main living area because she goes to bed so early, and we needed to use that space. So we put her to bed on the big bed, and it worked every time!! I layed down with her for a few minutes the very first time, but every time after that she layed down by herself and went right to sleep. She still took her two naps every day, too. Then when the rest of us were ready to sleep, we just set up the pack and play in the main area and moved her out there. My mother-in-law and I took turns staying back at the campground with Isabella so I got to go out on the boat for two days, and she got to go out for two days. Also, the meals were really easy while we were there because both my mother-in-law and I spent the day before we left making salads, appetizers, and desserts to bring along. The weather was beatiful the whole time, and the resort we were at even had an outdoor Mass so we didn't even have to leave! Isabella had so much fun with her mama and boppa (grandma and grandpa) and she was even crying for her mama tonight because she missed her.

Isabella's first boat ride, it only lasted about 15 minutes and she fell asleep!

I did not have good luck fishing, this little guy is all I caught. But my father-in-law took pity on me and let me reel in some of his fish.

Monte had much better luck than his mom and I had, he caught several of these.

She was outside playing every day starting right after she got up.

Taking a break from the heat, and playing inside the camper.
