Nixon's first Camping trip

At the end of August, we were invited by some friends in our ward to go camping with them. Jordan and I both like to camp, but since Nixon has been here, we haven;t been brave enough to try out our tent with him. We decided to give it a go and see what happens. It was such a fun weekend! We had delicious food, great company and lots of fun. Nixon was a pro camper and didn't make a peep either of the nights we were there. He even slept straight through a rain storm. We were seriously impressed and excited that we can now resume camping!
One downer of the trip was the Nixon had his first near death experience. We were camping in Hobble Creek Canyon at Jolly's Ranch. It has a nice little playground there for the kids, so we had gone over and were letting Nixon and the other kids play. He was at the top of the tallest slide, when he started to back up and fell down a hole that was in the center of the top. We hadn't realized there was a ladder that went to the center of the platform, and Nixon fell right down it. He fell about 10 ft and hit his head on all the rungs of the ladder on his way down. It was one of the scariest moments of my life to just stand there and watch him fall. He landed right on his back and didn't move or make a sound for a minute. He had bitten his tongue and was bleeding, but at first we didn't know where the blood was coming from. Thankfully he wasn't hurt too badly other then a few bumps on his head and his tongue. Other than that, the weekend went without a hitch and we had such a blast! Sadly we didn't get many pictures....live and learn!
