mountain {dew voltage} man
i have a completely irrational fear of camping alone. and by alone, i mean just me and my husband. my fear is that the crazy woodsman living in the forest is going to come and mass murder the whole campground in the middle of the night. which is why i have never gone camping alone with bryce despite his many efforts to convince me.
it's quite silly, really. but still.
but camping with friends? strength in numbers... count me in. what's more silly is that it's probably more irrational for me to go camping 8 months pregnant, but that didn't stop me. it should've though... what was i thinking?
our weekend was spent in cooler weather, eating junk, letting our kids run wild, laughing and enjoying ourselves amongst dear friends. the best part is that our kids love their kids, too, which makes for a good time all around.
and a good time it was.
well, until i had to sleep on our air mattress without my beloved body pillow that i opted not to bring, to avoid looking so overpacked and laughed at by my husband. my 8 month pregnant self regretted that decision the moment i laid down.
we returned home filthy and completely exhausted and yet somehow, refreshed.
but more importantly, alive.
(and still pregnant.)

i feel the exact same way about camping! seriously scared. something about sleeping in the vast dark openness with no locks, creepy!
HAHA!!! i am the same way. i LOVE camping, but i will not go with just cody. i fear we would look like a couple of adolescents watching our niece and nephew while our parents were away and the bad guys would come right in and start the slaughtering.
you are an adorable pregnant lady.
so excited to see the newest denton beauty.
You are too funny! Love to camp, but agree lots more fun with a group of dear friends. You look awesome!
you know i'm jealous, even though camping with little kids might be in my top 5 worst experiences ever... something about miles head getting stuck between the side of tent and the air mattress MULTIPLE times - only funny in retrospect.
how are you 8 months pregnant? teeny girl.
Yeah I'm pretty sure I can say I loved every bit of this trip except for the hours of 1am and 7 am. No sleep. Or the craziest intermittent sleep- which is NOT awesome. But I did love the fresh air, the lack of monsters in the woods, campfire, and tin foil dinners. This is my kind of livin. I just need to do this for more than a night next time. It is so much effort just getting all packed, unpacked, repacked and unpacked again just for one night.
