We finally went on a vacation. Granted, it was only for one night but it was refreshing. We went to a nearby lake... nearby as in 5 hours in the car. I think it could have been done in 2, but first Hubby couldn't find the tackle shop/gas station that he wanted... then, after getting some hush-hush information on a great fishing/camping spot we went on a 2 hour trip on a dirt road that had hills and dips that scared the crap out of me (P.S.... the man said it was a 15 min drive! HA!). After finding the so called secret spot we turned around and headed back to the main road. The secret spot had campers and 3 boats docked there... not what I would call secret. I started to wonder if we weren't the only ones this guy liked to tell his secrets to.
On the way back to the campground we got behind a semi truck turning into the local gas station... it took me a while to read what it said on the back,but when I did I died laughing.
(NOTE TO SELF: DONT DRINK THE WATER HERE!!!)Once we found a good place to pop up the tent we grabbed the poles and headed fishing. The girls were excited to get out there. They did good for an hour.. then they started twitching... so we headed back to camp. We didn't catch anything... but it was fun!
At camp we ate some sandwiches and poptarts... at this point I realized that the girls had been overloaded on junk food all day and were about to hit maximum speed. Thankfully it was a short burst. Because of the high level of fire danger we were not allowed to have a campfire. Once the sun went down we decided to go ahead and lay down for the night. The girls were a little anxious and not really sure what we were supposed to be doing. Baby rolled around for a good hour before finally falling asleep. Angel had a hard time with all the noises. She would settle down and almost be asleep.... then pop up and say 'what was that noise?'. I think it was sheer exhaustion when she finally closed her eyes.
We made it home Saturday afternoon. Sunday I spent cleaning out closets... the garage sale is next weekend and I intend on selling everything I have not used or seen the past year!
I am giving myself a pass on weigh in today... I ate cruddy all weekend and did not do a whole lot of working out.. so its time to start fresh!

Looks like you all had fun. It's good to get out of the house once in a while and do something unexpected.
(pst...I've never been camping in my life. I'm a big sissy.)
Have a great week!
Sounds like you had a blast! Your kids are soooo adorable!!!! And your husband doesn't look so bad, either...*wink, wink*
Hi Lilly. I have just come across your blog. Very impressed with your progress pics down the right hand side of your website. To me the latest one of those looks "slim" -- it looks "normal" size, like what I want to be myself.
I am morbidly obese at over 300 lbs and have a long way to go, but it's interesting finding other people who have succeeded or are currently succeeding, as I start my journey.
Best wishes,
Sharon
