We decided to try camping with Krew for the first time this weekend!! So, on Thursday at work, Sonia asks if we would want to do something spur of the moment and go camping. I thought, "what a great idea" it's cheap, and we can really feel like we went on a mini vaca!! We planned it all out and decided to leave around noon on Friday!! Yeah, who thought there was so much involved in getting ready. We ended up heading out at 4 p.m.
We get camp set up and start our evening with eating tin foil dinners. Of course I was a stress case the whole night and I gotta thank my girl!! She is always good at reminding me in the most loving ways!!! LOL
Nina: (as I am in the tent almost in tears because Krew is tired but won't go to sleep. I hurry and put him in his PJ's as Adam is patiently waiting for me to give krew some milk).
Sonia: Girl it's ok, just relax.
Nina: I know I can't until Krew is in bed, it's so stressful.
Sonia: (30 min later as I am still stressed and in the tent) Nina, should we just head back home!!!!!
Nina: (breathing and thinking Ok Nina just chill out or you will never go camping with friends again).
Thank heavens for friends that understand me!! Next time I will make sure to just let my kids get dirty, IT'S camping right!! That's the point!! We had the most delicious smores!! They are my special secret!! Nina's smores are the best!!
So, I didn't get any sleep because we got some late nighters that decided to set up camp at midnight. We thought we were going to get eaten by bears!! LOL. Krew was freezing and awake at 130 am so I tucked him in bed next to me to warm up and he fell right to sleep. I finally dozed off when the sun was coming up but our neighbors kids decided to wake all of Christopher creek up at 6 am.
So I got up started getting things ready to make breakfast burritos, realized the eggs were frozen and ate donuts instead. My hubby was a trooper making burritos for everyone. We then packed up and headed out to the creek before we came home. The kids caught crawdads and we went on a mini hike through the woods to a swimming well where kids were catching lobster size crawdads!! So much fun!! DQ was our treat on our way home!! I loved my weekend, and the people we spent it with!! Thanks girls for another fun weekend!!

Sounds like it ended up being an ok trip! I LOVE camping! You for sure have to just be chill when camping with all the dirt and no beds. My OCD mommy moment was last weekend when I was in CA on the beach with Ryker. There was sand EVERYWHERE! In the bags, the food, his hair, his mouth, his hands, all over me...everywhere. Plus, he didn't get a solid nap almost the whole trip and went to bed 2-3 hours past bedtime. Turns out he was totally fine with it all. We haven't done the camping thing yet but are planning on it soon. Will let you know how it goes. P.S. Did you two plan to where the same shirt?!
Good post Nina. I can't believe you posted about the night I asked if we should head back. I was laughing so hard. It was fun--I'm going to get you to relax girl.
