Boys enjoying a campout morning!

The kids and I have been just hankering for a campout, so it was time to seize the day and just go! We were all packed up and ready to head out when I was flatlined by a kidney stone trying to pass. Long story short, we went camping, and really enjoyed ourselves. Love the smell and feel of camping. You get a full-body workout just setting up and taking down! I can feel lots of muscles and my hair still smells like fire after a shower – YES! Poor Dave had to miss all the fun because he is working swing shift and was feeling under the weather today. I tried to schedule a massage for him over at Bellows this morning, but poor guy had to opt for sleep instead and wasn’t even able to visit us. Thankfully he feels better now, and so do I. We had fantastic weather, found lots of fun things to play with, came home tired and happy, and with lots of memories. Enjoy the pictures by clicking on the photo above.

UPDATE: mom emailed me asking where my stone is now – did I pass it? Here’s what made her laugh. 

No – it took a day off. Probably in my bladder. The Tripler nephrologist called back while I was camping and asked how I was doing, etc. I said the pain went away so I went camping, brought beer (to hydrate) and bourbon (for pain) and was peeing on the ground so I wouldn’t lose the stone if it came out (he had said he wanted to send it in for analysis). He was laughing!
