Bye-Bye Camping

Goodbye my camping friends. That's right, we've had our last camping trip for the summer. Gone are the days when Jesus and I could decide that we wanted to go camping last minute, throw the cooler, tent & dog in the car, and head off. I just dont have the energy anymore! Do you have any idea how hard it is to roll your big fat self over in a little sleeping bag? It's hard enough to roll over in my bed at the moment, not to mention trying to keep the sleeping bag from rolling over with me, not waking up the dog (or husband), or to keep from rolling off the air mattress onto the cold hard ground. I've given it up for now, my friends.

This last weekend, Jesus and I, the dog, and my parents headed out to Barview for the weekend. When we got there, the weather was nice, though windy. Purdy blue sky 'n ever-thing! Saturday morning was beautiful as well. Jesus & my dad went out crabbing & fishing while us girls spent the morning walking on the beach. Chica had a blast. As soon as she was off leash on the beach, she headed straight to the ocean. The tide was so far out, and there were small puddles that were perfect for her to lounge in.

That afternoon was not so hot. The wind picked up by the time my sister & her family arrived. It's hard to keep sand out of a one year-old's face when he's only 2 feet from the blowing sand. But fun was had by all, and it was a pretty relaxing weekend, all things considered. We had to stop by Tillamook Cheese Factory on the way back, of course. Baby wanted ice cream, and what baby wants, baby gets! I'll miss not being able to camp for the rest of the summer, but it'll be worth it in the end.
