I'm a Nut!

So call me crazy! Tim has been busy with work and its been so hot, that I decided on the spur of the moment to pack my 4 kids and "nephew" up and go out camping at the lake BY MYSELF! It was the first time I have done that and the kids have been asking when we were going. Trying to wait for a day that Tim is off and the weather cooperates, has become a pain in the A--!
We loaded up and headed out with me hoping for the best. The camp doesn't have zero entry to the water so you have to go off the end of the dock and I am trying to plan out how to watch 4 kids in the water and make sure my 2 y/o doesn't accidentally fall in. Life jackets all around baby! Good thing too, because Andrew did fall in once. Hmmm.
The boys and I all had a blast! Swimming, fishing, and roasting marshmellows! Everyone was so well behaved that I almost thought I brought the wrong kids. LOL The only bad thing was trying to get Andrew to sleep in a new place and a bed that wasn't his own. He ended up being up until almost 1am. He did doze off at one point around 10 for about an hour, so the kids and I snuck down to the water for a little bit of moonlight swimming! (Which is one great memory I have from being a kid.)
So anyways, I was proud of myself for being brave enough to take 5 kids camping alone and proud of the kids for being on there best behavior and making it easier on me. I think we are going to have to do this again.
