Campquest 2008

WARNING: Way too many pictures of Ethan and his best-bud Peyton!

This past weekend was our big church camping trip. I LOVE Campquest! We've stayed in a cabin with friends the past three years. This year we were with the Thibodeaux's and Shad and Logan.
We drove up to Branson Friday afternoon - it was NOT a good trip. Ethan was fussy the whole way. It was his awake/playtime and did NOT want to be strapped down in the carseat. So needless to say, we were very happy to get there. After a bath and dinner, Ethan went right to sleep and slept all night, as did Peyton.
Saturday was a PERFECT day. The weather was absolutely beautiful, so we played outside almost all day. We took lots of walks and just hung out. And then, Saturday night rolls around. Ethan went to bed fine, but woke up coughing around 10:30. He coughed so hard that he threw up! Yuk! (He's been coughing a lot in the past month, but not to the point of puking.) So we got him all cleaned up, but he would not sleep the rest of the night. We were so worried about waking up everyone else in the cabin, that we ended up just letting Ethan sleep in bed with us, which we've never done before. I was so nervous (afraid I might roll over on him, or he may puke again) that I didn't sleep the whole night.
When the sun FINALLY came up, we got up and headed to breakfast and church. Ethan was fussy and you could tell he wasn't feeling good, so we ended up leaving early. Ethan slept the whole way home (yea!). He woke up about a 1/2 mile from our house, coughed, and puked all over himself. At least he waited until we were almost home!
So, that was our weekend. Despite the puke and lack of sleep, it was a blast. We're going real camping (in a tent) in three weeks and I can't wait!

Oh, and don't worry, we took Ethan to the doctor on Monday and got some antibiotics. Hopefully he'll start feeling better soon!

Here's the insane amount of pictures from Campquest:

Okay, so I've lost all my baby weight (and a little more!) - why do I still look like a big fat cow?

Too cute - Ethan and Peyton holding hands!

Look at that smile!
