Annual Somerville Trip

I was waiting to get my sis-in-law's pics to post @ our annual Somerville camping trip. Every year we go camping in mid-may for Sh's B-day. It has become more af a tradition than b-day celebration. All the same peeps usually come, but this year we had a few extras. My cousin MB & her kids EB & CB joined us, & my mom-in-law came up for a few hours w/her BFF SP. The "usuals" consist of my bro-in-law & sis-in-law w/their kids, K & T. My hubby's cousin CK, his wife KK & their kids HK & GK. My friend CM & her daughter JM (who is Sh's friend).

We had a good time as usual but there were a few things that kept it from being a great time. When we were unpacking Sh was watching the dogs & she thought our puppy Izzy ate part of a mushroom. I was hoping that she didn't get enough to hurt her but a few hours later she got VERY sick. She was constantly vomiting & was very lethargic. She seemed to be getting better that evening so we decided to watch her through the night & if she wasn't better in the morn, we were going to drive her into Brenham & find an emergency vet. The hubby & I let her sleep in our bed so that we could keep an eye on her. Neither of us slept well b/c we kept checking on her to make sure she was still alive. The next morning we were exhausted, but Izzy was feeling much better. I was really worried that we might lose her.

On Sat. we thought it would be fun to pull a tube behind CK's john boat. So we rigged up the rope & he pulled the kids & a few adults around for awhile. We looked so "white trash", but it was so much fun.

That afternoon the dog was almost back to normal but N was feeling really bad & we could tell he was running a fever. He even went & laid down in the tent for a few hours. Which for those of you that aren't around him much, that kid lives outside. He is a total outside boy. I knew he was really sick. :(

All in all, the weekend was still a good one though. We love to go camping.

BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!
