We're Back

And another post that will be broken up into bits and pieces because we had such a great time and don't want to miss putting any of it down in writing.

We got off to a rocky start, which honestly, seems like so long ago! Anyway, we had a little EG incident before we left which set us back about four/five hours but we were determined to go anyway. We just didn't want the other kids to be disappointed. We were meeting three other families so the excitement was almost unbearable for them. And, as I had mentioned before, hubby and I were looking forward to a little R & R from routine.

We got on the road a little before dinner time and, thankfully, the camp ground was only about 40 minutes away. We got there in plenty of time to get set up and just in time for dinner.

We did have a rather rough start, though. We think because of EG's little mishap before we left, she started to throw up just about everything she ate. Part of it was excitement and part of it was she hadn't eaten most of the day and was probably eating way too fast. But, we were concerned.

Then, while I was tending to EG and trying to help hubby get set up, my friend K brought Boop to me, crying. He had been hit on the cheek with a baseball bat. It was big and bruised and it hurt. (His first official black eye and this picture doesn't do it justice.) He went to lay down. But, with EG's earlier mishap and then throwing up and then Boop with his face, it all made us consider locking up the camper, piling in the van, heading back to town and trying again the next day.

But, Boop perked up pretty quick. EG settled down and was noticeably better so we decided to stick it out. And the night turned out beautifully. Wonderful food, kids playing everywhere (14 all total), parents chatting, a fire burning, a big beautiful moon and S'mores.

A rocky start to be sure, but a perfect ending to a great start of a long Spring Break weekend . . .
