Grey's River 2010 --- and other

So we had our annual camping trip to Grey's River, Wyoming last week. It was fun and mostly relaxing. We didn't go up until early early Wednesday morning so I was operating on about 3 hours of sleep. I haven't done that in a LONG time.... We had fun though.

My brother graciously let us borrow his 4-wheeler and it was a good thing too! Shane wanted to camp about 40 yards from the rest of the family and me, being the lazy bum I am (and the mass amounts of weeds) used the 4-wheeler to go to and from the camp sites! I took Chloe on a ride one day too.... And this is what happened. It was too cute. I really want a 4x4 but Shane is bound and determined to get a Ranger some time. We shall see if EITHER of those happen!


I was worried this year that I would get left a lot since there are usually 2 Rangers (basically big 4-wheelers that fit up to 6 people) and another 4-wheeler and everyone goes on rides. Well, unless I was driving, the bumps are WAY too much for my right now. Unfortunately, my brother-in-laws shocks - or something - broke so he could barely drive his around at all. So, I wasn't ditched! We didn't get as much game-playing done as usual but all in all, it was just nice and relaxing ---- AND HOT!!! There was lots of cloud cover so it was fairly humid too. It rained most of the last day we were there so Chloe and I just hung out in the trailer and watch Bedknobs and Broomsticks for a long long time....

Oh, and I realize that I am a paranoid mother, and I don't care. Chloe decided that she would chase after the bigger girls one day and fell. She got a tiny scrape on her face and stained her pant leg pretty good. I didn't fall as a kid - I'm not one of those that thinks kids need to fall and get banged up. She has plenty of bruises on her knees and that's more than enough for me! It's just too sad. Anyway, below is the pic of her little scrape. When it happened, it really looked like it would turn into a nice black eye. Thank goodness it didn't!

And her cute little backpack that we got for her to carry her "arts and crafts" in. She loves it :) Shane picked it out too!

(btw, did I mention that I LOVE that I can make my pictures big and they can actually be seen on blogger. I love that I figured out the new layout thing....)

In other news, I'm still a fat cow and getting fatter by the second. I can sleep all the time, and my house is a complete wreck. I got it kind of straightened up before leaving on our trip, but things never go as planned! We are finally going to tackle the baby's room this week. We've compromised on colors - which was our biggest issue. I'll take pictures when it's done - which will probably be about 7 1/2 weeks from now, right before I go to the hospital.... Did I mention that I'm 8 weeks from my due date :)
