Camping in the "heat"

Camping in the

Amazingly it worked out to get a Sibling camping trip together (minus David - Missed you!). We heated back to Caswell Memorial SP

What we like about this park:
It is on the Stanislaus River (this year we even managed to get a site with walk in river access)
It is between San Jose and Sacramento
Hot water to do the dishes
Family bathrooms and showers
Cows!

Not so favorites:
It is dusty, dry and HOT!
Lots of bugs (though not many mosquitoes)
Non Assigned spaces
Cows in the river!!!

All in all the kids had a great time. We ran into some friends unexpectedly so Chanler was thrilled (they let him use their fishing pole!!) and we officially have the smallest family tent now! Ironic no?

Dropped Chanler off at VBS and within 15 minutes Jessaleigh is distressed that he isn't here... http://twitter.com/jessehraban/statuses/19586219561

"We'll have lots more space...

...in the van than we did in the MDX"

Granted
1. There is no Yakama rack on the roof
2. We have two boxes of wood that would never have fit in the MDX
3. We packed EVERYTHING possible (2 coolers, boating box, screen canopy, scooters, etc)

At least we can still see the kids...

Not following the prescribed pattern

So, when we got pregnant with number 3 I assumed I knew what was coming... I've had a boy and a girl and had nearly identical pregnancy symptoms with both. So pregnancy 3 seemed like it should be a known pattern, BUT not so much!

I like to joke that this pregnancy is different than my first two so I must be having puppies, but it seriously doesn't compare. The nausea - different, aversions - different, sleep problems - different, aches and pains - different... the list goes on and on.

Really hoping that the feeling sick that I THOUGHT should be gone by now actually goes soon. Not really happy with 6 months of everything to eat sounding horrible!
