Well this weekend we were very ambitious and packed up the boys and tents and our cooler and more snacks than we needed, and headed out for our annual MOMS club camping trip.

This is usually something I look forward to every year – but this year as I am really starting to fight some major morning sickness and I’ve been so tired I can’t see straight really so we knew it would be a challenge.  To boot, the weather was calling for showers where we were going so we knew it could be even more of a challenge.

I was really looking forward to getting the kids out of the house though, they have been a bit cooped up with mom feeling ick so often – plus their MOMS Club buddies were going to be there and that was an extra treat for them, and Reece was just thrilled that we were going to “go to the woods”- our little outdoors man longs to wander free.

In the end we did alright, It rained a quite a bit, but was not enough to make us miserable and it was really pretty warm so that helped with the whole being wet thing.  I brought my NEW CAMERA, that I’ve been so excited to learn – (I was all ready to buy that Cannon S3 when a friend said, why don’t you just buy my Rebel XT  instead?)  I was really thinking it would be a great chance to learn all about my great new camera, but instead it was so rainy and wet that I could barely even bring the camera out to play (not to mention that even taking pictures seemed like more work than I could handle).
Here are the few pictures I did get:

You can see just how MUDDY the boys were, lots and lots of wet dirt to play in, and the boys took advantage of it

We really did have a good time, although I swear it is going to take me WEEKS to recover- and I don’t know if it is the exhaustion or what, but the morning sickness is hitting hard this week.  A good sign I know because it is more evidence that little baby Clingerman is setting up shop in there, but WOW it is kicking my butt – still not puking so that is good, but gosh the waves of nausea are just as bad I swear.

And with that I’m heading to go lay down again, must recover a bit so i can start the four million loads of laundry that we generated out there in the wild .
