Jellystone

We have gone to Jellystone for 3 years now and by far this was the best trip ever!  My dad came this year (last year he missed because he was in the hospital recovering from a heart attack, the boys were older which meant no meltdowns or tears which equals a lot less stress on us.  Camp was freezing though, so much for the End of August being hot.  Papa brought down a bag of sweatpants for the boys and for me which was a lifesaver.  I brought 1 pair pf pj pants which I would have been forced to wear everyday.  Meatball was the master packer like usual and did offer me a pair of adorable skull pj pants and socks.

My sister bought a projector, some crazy expensive cord to plug your phone into it and a sheet from Walmart - BAM!  Instant movies by the campfire.  The kids watched Sing, Lady and the Tramp, Minions.  And then when they went to bed we watched stuff we like - Adventures in Babysitting, Troop Beverly Hills and we watched the fight Saturday night for the dudes.  I haven't seen 1am in a long time.

The air mattress debacle.  Where to begin, the mattresses at camp are horrible.  Super thin, hard as a rock so I thought if we brought down our (used one time) air mattress it would help.  Well it would have - if it didn't have a hole in it!  We would blow it up everyday and then by night time it would go flat.  Ugh!  It did give us something to laugh about every night.  I found one on Amazon for $18 - so maybe they are one time use?

It was Halloween weekend which was so fun for the kids.  Any excuse to wear their costumes and they are happy!

My favorite part of camp was when the little ones would ask to sit on our lap every night by the fire.  They would be asleep in minutes which means I get to steal kisses and carry them to bed.  We already booked next year!
