Okay, tis under consideration- barring scheduling conflicts or the baby eating our money, we're thinking we will try to come out as playtrons for AHE at least, possibly opening and AHE

We will likely be camping in Patrons, though, as we still don't know what the disposition of our loft we built over the shop will be. I'll need to know where Fraser is so that I can camp on the other side from him so that he doesn't scare the baby with the snoring of doom ;D

Wait, how long have I been gone...59, seriously? Seriously? I don't have anythin of the sort to get prepared, but still, seriously? Time flies when you stick your head in the sand until faire gets close.

I just realized that we will likely have to camp... for the first time in nearly eight years... with an infant  :o

Anything you even THINK you might, possibly need... bring it!  And make sure that whatever you generally leave the house with when you have the baby... pack at least 4 times that.  Plus all her cold weather gear AND her hot weather stuff AND her in between stuff, because you'll need it all.  And you already know it's not really a great idea to bundle a baby up when they're sleeping because the covers can get bunched up around her face, so if it gets really cold at night (which it's likely to) you might find yourselves knocking on someone's trailer door...  Oh, and a propane tent heater might not be good because of the possible fumes, so a ceramic heater that can be plugged in to one of the generators you will be surrounded by is a good idea, along with an extension cord and something steady and non-flammable to set it on so it doesn't catch the tent on fire or melt anything.  There will be ways to heat water there (bring your own pan and water, though), but the easiest way to get her clean will be wipes... lots.. and.. lots.. of wipes!  I have found a ziplock baggy full of wipes will warm nicely if tucked in next to the parent's skin for a while when it's chilly out, so she doesn't split your ear drums when that cold wipe hits the warm bottom! 

You will learn things you never even dreamed were important...  Have fun, and good luck!  :D
