Camping out at the in-laws pavilion and lakefront property (just a hop, skip and jump down the road. AND free!) for a weekend wasn't exactly RELAXING for a pregnant Mama just three weeks shy of giving birth.
Camping requires days of food prep, packing vanfuls of stuff, setting up vanfuls of stuff, taking down and unpacking vanfuls of stuff and of course...sleeping on a thin air mattress in a teeny tent with a three year old.
But the idea was to get away from our house (and all the projects there to be done) and get the husband and children to spend time together, relaxed and chillin' like lake villians. I think that was accomplished. I got to see a lot of smiles anyway.
So...while it wasn't super relaxing for ME... it was all worth it in the end.
Added bonus: there was tubing with Grandpa's boat!

Wow! I am impressed that you camped with being 3 weeks from giving birth. Good job Mama!!
Lol...I can't even imagine camping with just three weeks to go! But I always told my husband any time we took a vacation it felt much as though I just did the same things as at home with a different view out of my window! Now that we're just the two of us, I don't find it any less work. But we're not going to eat out every meal and we're going to clear up behind ourselves so there's really no other solution than work is there? It's still nice to break out of routine and there's no little projects eating up my free time.
looks like a blast! those tubing photos are priceless ~
Corynn casually mentioned that Matt was upended on a tube, and I said, "Weren't water sports what gave him that impressive scar?! Keep him AWAY from the water!" The picture, though, is pretty priceless.
Those views are gorgeous, and cousin memories in abundance are worth (just about) all the work and discomfort, right? ;)
