<\/a> <\/p>\nThat\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a low of 45 in our tent. And a high of 115! <\/p>\n
We got to Santa Margarita Lake campground on Friday. Lacking the perfect temperature Caleb was used to, he got very little sleep that first night. He kept tossing and turning. And talking and moving. So much so that he only got just over 3 hours of sleep that night. 45 degrees might be a little to cold for a boy who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s used to perfect temperature in his room. Caris didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t sleep well either, but she just slept on me the whole keep and I kept her warm. Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s how they looked in the morning.<\/p>\n
Caleb was not in a good mood that morning. We hoped he would get a good nap at least in the afternoon. Not quite. With the sun blazing down upon our tent, the temperatures soared inside. Again Caleb normally sleeps in that perfect temperature room with barely any light. Here at camp, he had the bright sun shining on top, heating up the tent. After 40 minutes of sleep, he awakes to the bright lights and hot tent. The temperature is about 90 degrees. Good thing he woke up. He might have died in the 115 degree tent.<\/p>\n We had thought we dressed our children warmly the first night, but these kids don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know what cold really was. And neither did we. To combat the immense chill of the night, we decided dress our children in every single warm piece of clothing<\/strong> we had. Both of them must have at least 8 layers on them. Rebecca Chan can attest to that.<\/p>\n It doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seem like a lot, but I think he was sweating under those clothes. Maybe he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s warm enough, and maybe he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s gotten comfortable with our tent. But finally he sleeps.<\/p>\n Caris is still cold, but she loves Daddy holding her and keeping her warm. Caleb gets a good night sleep, and they look much better in the morning.<\/p>\n Notes for next camping trip:<\/p>\n It is currently 42 degrees outside our house. Tonight’s overnight low is suppose to be 38 degrees. This is what I would call beyond cold. But at least we’re inside our warmer house. 67 degrees is nice for me, but still bundle up weather for Yvonne. We haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t been in this type of cold since… … <\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n
