Oh how I wish my body would go back to normal!!!

We are back from camping in Wisconsin this weekend with our friends the Jones'.  It was a gorgeous weekend that was so much fun and in the middle was relaxing!!  Katelynn and I had a memorable time driving up to the campground together after school.  We listened to music, sang to some songs, talked about school and how much fun she is having, and just plain enjoyed being together!  That was AWESOME!! 
When we made it to the site we were welcomed by the twins and Keith as well as having a camper that was set up... OH how nice it was not to have to do manual labor after a long Friday!
Once the Jones family made it up to the campground we all drove down to a favorite steak restaurant to enjoy a fun dinner together!  This was so nice as Beth and I did not have to cook, clean or even think about chores for the night.  The girls were wonderful and so grown up as they all ordered for themselves and were so appropriate little ladies!  I cannot believe they are all growing up so fast!
Saturday was a fun day of riding bikes, swimming for the girls, a cake eating contest that Sarah tried (and should have won but the littler girl next to her won the hearts of the judges), an ice cream social, and playing at the park... oh and the mommies took a nap sometime in the middle of the day.  :)  These are all memories I love to think about when I am stuck in bed or feeling awful!  We also had our campfire at night for the good old s'more eating  although we tried a new one by using Milky Ways instead of plain chocolate... interesting!
Today was an exhausting day!  I got the whole camper packed up and in the van by 9:45am.  We ate breakfast and then took the girls for a quick swim around 10:30am.  Keith closed up the camper by noon and we were on the road by 12:30 pm heading for Wauconda.  I drove home fine but I could feel the blanket of exhaustion begin to cover me as we got closer to home.  By 4pm the van was unpacked and I was taking a nap.  I am better now but most of my body is still yelling at me for overdoing so I will be heading to bed shortly!

A favorite quote from the weekend:  Sarah says to me as we are walking to the pool... "Mommy how can you be walking faster than all of us and you have cancer??"  I told her that it was because I was never going to let the cancer win and so I was going to keep on moving!
