These are all awesome photos people!
My wife and I adopted a boy recently and had no children prior to. We have been fosterparents since last Nov. when he was only 5 months old. His adoption went final in the begining of August. Well we hadn't had much of a chance to take him on a "trial" camping trip or 2 before heading out on the 2011 UP Overland trip. He turned 14 months old a few days before we left. We had no idea how he was going to do. Luckily, this was how he was most of the trip of 3 nights rough camping.
After he had been up in the rooftop tent, he started liking being up in it a lot too. He was just squeezed between the wife and I. Here he is picking out a camping spot at High Rock Bay.
One more of him patiently waiting for one of his favorite things; FOOD!
I wouldn't have believed it had someone told me in Sept. of 2010 my wife and I would have adopted a baby boy within a year. We didn't get that 9 month prep time most people get! We are both in our 40s (its not easy chasing a little one when you get older!) and have only been married 5 years but he has been a huge blessing to us and we enjoy every minute we have with him. Knowing our Sawyer loves camping makes it even a bigger blessing!
