For a few months, Leonard and I have been planning a camping trip to Yellowstone National Park. We are going with my two sisters and their families as well as my eldest brother's family. It seems like we've been talking about this trip for months and now the time is nearly upon us and I'm left to wonder where has the time gone?
This weekend the greater part of my family is all going to Las Vegas for an awesome family party. Everyone looks forward to these gatherings. A 4-bedroom house filled to the brim with stubborn, loud, opinionated, mate-drinking Badal's. I LOVE IT. To give you an idea of how many people will be crammed into this modest home...the last count = 43 people. People will literally be sprawled out into every crevice of the house.
So as I prepare for our weekend in Vegas, I am quickly realizing I will only have 3 days upon our return to get us completely ready to leave for our camping trip. Initially I thought that would be plenty of time to pull it all together. Now, I'm not so sure. Leonard says my nerves are getting the best of me and that I'm over analyzing it...he may be right. I just want to make sure he has a good time. Leonard has never really camped before, therefore, does not have the fond memories that I have nor the desire for it. Little Leo I know is going to love it...6 days outside constantly in the dirt, life doesn't get any better than that for little boys.
So, I've begun preparing for everything all at once, and my mind is running all over the place making lists and taking mental notes. So I've got lots to do, not so much time to do it in, and I'm already exhausted....but totally stoked at the same time.

It is a BIG HUGE project but SOOOO worth it! It will be the memory of a lifetime for sure!
Some of my best pics of you is at the last Yellowstone trip! Can't wait to see the pics & hear the stories at Samuel's baptism on 8/1/09! I'll be all ears! Have a GREAT TIME!
Yeah, last night I kinda freaked out thinking about all of the things I had to make sure I packed, and worrying about Jonathan on the flight, and if he'll sleep well while we're there... traveling is hard with kids :)
Wowzers Lizzie! take it one moment at a time. Remember, you don't always have to make your plans PERFECT :)
Good luck! I'm sure everything will come together. (It always does.)
Have fun converting Leonard to our dirt-sleeping ways.
