Our Family Maddness: Family camp trip

Every year, my family says they want to go on a family camp trip, but no one steps up and plans anything. So this year, I decided to do the planning. Well everything was planned before the craziness started of my gram dying and me getting pregnant and having morning sickness, but we still went!

In attendance this year:

Sloans - Kali, Shawn, and Leili

Harmons - My mom, Kasiah (niece), Jake, Dane and Danielle (his fiance)

Monsons - Matt, Kara, me, and my inlaws

We went up to Ledgefork by Smith and Morehouse reservoir. My favorite place to camp and this was the last place we went camping as a family over 12 or 13 years before.

Matt and I with Kali and Shawn went up earlier than everyone else on Sunday to get a site. We ended up getting the double site at the back of the camp that was perfect for us. We fit four tents and four vehicles. I had assigned out meals before we came so each family was in charge of a meal and each family was incharge of providing your own lunch and drinks. Well, my mother-in-law only remembered that she was incharge of a meal, so they forgot their breakfast and drinks. Well everyone else over packed so we all shared.

Sunday - We had a big dinner (Matt and I were in charge) to celebrate Dane's birthday (31st) and my mother-in-law's (70th) birthday. We had hobo dinners and dutch oven cobbler. It tasted pretty good and nothing tasted good to me. We also told everyone up there that I was pregnant as there was no way to hide the morning sickness.

Monday - We played around camp, went on walks, played in the reservoir, played games, relaxed, and enjoyed ourselves. The weather was a little tricky with it threatening to rain off and on, but overall it was nice.

Tuesday - We only had breakfast and then packed as the weather wasn't liking that we wanted it to be sunny. It rained a couple times on us.

Camping while being pregnant and sick wasn't fun. I didn't feel good, had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, wanted food at weird hours of the morning (bears, so no food in the tents), my nausea pills made me need a bathroom at a moments notice, and I was tired alot.

Kara didn't do the best at sleeping either. She doesn't like to sleep under blankets, so trying to keep her warm was hard. She would sleep fine until she got cold. We tried to have her sleep in our beds with us, but she is such a worm and moves constantly.
