New tricks for camping with a baby

As Lily is getting older and more interactive with her environment, we've had to add items to our camping repertoire to help keep her entertained. Enter, the playmat and the crash pad...

I bought the playmat for her last week and she totally loves it! There are all sorts of toys to grab and put in her mouth plus a music machine that has fun flashing lights and a mirror. She is quite content to lay on her mat for long periods of playtime. We've dragged the mat to parking lots in Fernie and Panorama and brought along Scott's crash pad for her to lie on. We've also purchased a patio umbrella to help keep her out of the sun when she's lying on the ground. We've got our system pretty much dialed now so it's almost a shame that the resort riding season is almost over since we'll have to create a whole new entertainment system for next year's riding season when she's a year old and not interested in lying on the ground on a playmat!
