we're back from a week of camping and had a wonderful time!
weather was good, only rained twice and not for long. we had campfires, smores, putt-putt, paddle boating and canoeing, tons of swimming, ice cream cones, volleyball, basketball, kareoke and dancing, family movie night and the renaissance festival.

the week was super, john's health was as good as it can be right now, the kids had a good time, we had quality family time, and i got to both exercise and relax both. how perfect is that?!
...then, the day we were to pack up and leave, i woke up violently ill. i have no idea what it was but i'm on day three right now and just starting to feel semi-ok again. stomach bug i guess, with fever, so so bad. this meant that john had to tear down camp alone (which is pretty manual labor), and has taken care of the kids pretty much alone since tuesday morning. while i sobbed and rocked back and forth in a fetal position, in between desperate races to the bathroom, john just handled it all. it was the longest 2.5 hour drive home i have ever experienced and i've never been so happy to be in my own bed with my own bathroom. i'm hoping to return to work tomorrow and all will be well and john was his usual trooper self and the kids have been oober comapssionate, checking on me every few hours.
we really do have a very wonderful life. i am so thankful.
