I don't know why I haven't posted lately. I only have one photos from our recent camping trip over the 4th of July. You know how sometimes you have those trips where you want to go home when you just got there? Yep, we had that trip. The drive up was nice. We stopped to see some friends with a cabin and that's where we had the photo taken. We picked up a couple fresh, already cooked crab from my friend and took off within the hour. We arrived at the campsite, it wasn't the best place I've ever booked (site that is, the park itself was beautiful) but somehow we managed to get the tent up with no problem. We have this 'pavilion' for lack of a better word that has 4 posts and a top that goes over our table, keeps the bugs out in the evenings etc. We struggled getting that up for some reason, everyone was cranky. E kept falling off the bench seat of the picnic table, or screaming for food even though for once, I had food ready for her. There were mosquitos and we forgot a few things and the start did not look good.
Other bad signs:
- Sat morning, E was playing with bubbles and fell backwards into the firepit. Needless to say, there was no fire (thank god!) in it, not even a smidgen because it had rained on us the night before! Crying ensued.
- All night (felt like it) fireworks - M80s or bottle rockets or whatever they were called. E managed to sleep through it though.
- Rain. Period.
- Touristy resort nearby. You can imagine.
- Managed to plan my WW menu but didn't bring enough stuff for M and E! lol
Sigh. Maybe not so bad in the grand scheme of things but I would've gone home in a minute if M wanted to. LOL
We are going again this weekend!
Last weekend dawned hopeful as we headed out to our local street fair. Although she didn't spend much time in the sun, E became kind of sick on Sat night - hot, listless, didn't want to eat - and it continued on until yesterday. She seems better now but I don't know what it was. Not bad enough to warrant a visit to the dr but definitely not herself. She's been very clingy and emotional lately too which is wearing on our nerves. Maybe as a parent, we aren't supposed to actually SAY that but there it is, I've said it. I've been challenged. Today seemed better as she headed off to daycare.
Needless to say, not much more going on. I'll post weight loss stats (or non-weight loss stats as the case may be) - I'm happy with how things are going so that's all that matters. I wish I had a before and after shot at this point but I'm not sure you can see any difference, but I can!

You look great! Rawr!
Not to worry, your posts are always worth the wait.
Sorry to hear that the trip went poorly. Hopefully this weekend will be better. Erm...try to bring enough food for everyone...and a keg of Guiness would be a nice way to apologize to M for the prior trip food shortage.
Just a suggestion.
You look amazing!!! I am so PROUD OF YOU!!!!!!
You look really great, A.
Radiant, I'd say!
Well, as usual, you are the brave adventurers. Setting out AGAIN this weeked? Like I said, brave.
Hope it's lots more fun this time.
sending love and hugs... :-)

Now I know where all my weight is coming from. You're loosing and I'm gaining. Although your gain in a few pounds explains why I lost a few for a bit. Ha ha ha!
I think you look awesome!
I love camping when it rains, even though its been over ten years since I last went camping.
You're going back again? Good for you.
And oh, by the way- you look mah-vah-lous!
Look at you droppin that weight! OK, I'm giving myself until the end of the month and then I'm getting back on the weight wagon (or losing weight wagon, as it were).
It's OK to say that your child wears on your nerves. You're human. I'll tell you this- as much as I love Riley, I can only take a few hours before I'm ready to be done with the whole thing. (did I say that out loud? Now we're even!)
You look great!
