Curtis Family Campout Day 1

It is Saturday morning and instead of being at the campout i am at home blogging! Why do you ask??? Because I am out of my MIND if I thought I could camp and be this pregnant. Now, I can be a TROOPER but when we get to the campground and my husband can't get the air conditioning going in our camper, that should have been my first RED FLAG that this trip wasn't going to be for me!! I decided to stick it out---the girls were having so much fun fishing with their dad and I was hanging out with my SIL Kelli so I thought, I'll be okay. When it was time to go to bed my dear, sweet in-laws let us sleep in their camper that had working AC! Well everyone was snoozing away and I was still up reading at 1am cause the bed was hard and I was having trouble getting comfy. I turned out the lights and laid there for about 30 minutes all the while thinking "I just don't feel any air circulating." At 1:50am I got up to check on the AC, went to flip on the light and ...nothing!! I woke Heath up to tell him that he needed to go check the generator. He got up but assured me that he had NO IDEA how to get it started, and of course WE DON'T HAVE A WORKING FLASHLIGHT WITH US!!! At this point I started crying and going over my options in my head. #1 Maneuver the bumpy dirt/grass road I had only seen in daylight and try to open the gate myself and Go home alone #2 Load up the girls and have Heath take us all home #3 SUCK IT UP!!! I rolled with #3. I went to my HOT camper and cried a little more and eventually fell asleep. It wasn't my bed at home but our camper is my space and so I knew that would be my best chance at making it through the night. Well, I did and I woke up bright and early this morning laying in bed trying to decide what I wanted to do. The simple fact that I had cried 3 TIMES-which is out of character for me, even pregnant--- was a sure sign that I was MISERABLE!! As these thoughts are running through my head Heath came into the camper and said he was gong to run home and let the dogs out. I decided that was my cue and I volunteered to go promising my DEAR MIL that I would be back by 7pm for the LUAU!!!!! I had no more than been home 10 minutes when Adler called with an earache and Crosby with some mysterious leg pain?!?! I think Chel was still sleeping off the night before's injury when one of her boy cousins was casting his pole and the hook caught her thumb!! (She wasn't sure she was going to make it!! She did have a little cut that we got all fixed up but the sight of her blood FREAKED her out big time! She was Shaking and Crying sooo hard! Poor thing!) We will see how long they last out there without the comforts of home and the lovin from their momma. I am giving them til about noon {wink ;)} We all just love being at our house---What can we say??? I plan on posting more pics tomorrow from the Luau festivities...if you scroll to the bottom of the page you can see a little video I put together and here are a couple of other pics that didn't make it to the video for some reason!!???!!
