Camping!

Oh. Camping is so very tiring. It's fun, don't get me wrong, but sleeping on an unfamiliar bed and eating way too much and doing way to little, staying up too late, rising too early all contribute to exaustion. Not to mention a seriously upset digestive system. We were only gone for two nights and we didn't even have our own kids to worry about, but I am tired. My stomach has been upset most of the day and I am sunburned. I know, I should have put sun screen on instead of relying on staying in the shade, but I forgot. Thankfully I wore pants all weekend and big t-shirts that had the arms that go clear to your elbows, so the only part of me really sun burned is my nose....I look like rudolph. I'm sure too, that it will peal.

I did try to be very good this weekend though. I brought my own water and tried to choose that over soda for most of the day. I quit drinking soda regularly sometime in March. I was the biggest coke drinker ever. I could almost polish off a two-liter in a day.... every day. I have since switched to drinking crystal light and have even started doing half flavored water and half regular water. I am trying to be more healthy, camping is not really the best environment for that though.

The girls didn't miss us at all. Figures. They were happy to see us, but they had a lot of fun swimming with Mimi and Papa and probably causing all sorts of ruckus. Kyra was asleep in the van a few minutes after we left their house and only woke up to change clothes and go to the bathroom when we got back. Well, even if they didn't miss us, I missed them. It is good to get away and remember that we love the little stinkers...even when they are stinkers!
