Erwin Family Camping!

Friday we left the house and headed to Temecula to meet my fam. Ryan had planned a 4 day camping trip for the whole family. They recently bought a new trailer and have been camping alot so they wanted to take one with all 19 of us! It was awesome. We celebrated Fathers Day and all our great dads in style! Well some of us in style... Erics grandparents dropped off their motorhome for Ash and Eric and the baby to sleep in (she wasnt sure how well Baby B would do for 4 days in a tent!) The rest of us were on the ground in tents. Even the boys had their own little tent set up outside ours. Well at least the first night. They woke up with damp pillows and blankets, apparentely their tent is super waterproof, SIKE! Luke hung glowsticks from the top so they could have a nightlight in case they had to pee in the middle of the night... that Luke, always thinking!! O and did I mention our tent was like a freakin condo!! Everyone was jealous! I told Luke if we ever couldnt afford a roof over our head at least we have something to fall back on! The thing is huge, good thing too since the kids ended up sleeping in ours afterall.

Our campground backed up to a huge grass area which was perfect for the kids to play football, shoot hoops, wrestle, fly kites...

...and the adults, mainly Ryan and I, got to kick ass at bocce ball. Ya thats right, I remain the bocce ball champion of the world. Ryan and I dominated. Every night my mom and Jenny had carefully planned out dinners. Burgers and dogs, Steak and chicken, carne asada. And breakfasts. Pancakes, breakfast burritos, muffins and cereal. I hadnt eaten that welll in weeks. It was awesome. My kids felt right at home without a nearby toilet. They decided to whip it out no matter where they were. Jack even at one point decided he had to poo, didnt tell anyone, went behind the trailer and took a huge crap, left it there then came over and said mom I just took a dump over there. So gross! Especially when Luke had to wipe his butt! LOL. Best kid! Of course we had our fair share of smores and campfires too! The kids loved roasting marshmallows. However the third night Wy was so tired he passed out before dinner and i couldnt wake him up. He slept til 8 the next morning too! The first day there was FREEZING! Cold enough that Ash and I drove to Walmart to buy everyone warmer clothes. We all planned on it being 85 all weekend, not 60. Lemme just tell you my mom loved her walmart sweats haha!! They were only 8 sizes too big and she looked like MC Hammer!We of course celebrated Fathers day and all our wonderful dads! And for those of you who werent there, we were thinking of you on your day and how great you are! Lots of Joker games and arguements over the Joker games!Lots of Angel games being watched (thank goodness for satellite dishes right?!!) Crazy dance moves, mostly by Luke and my dad! Tons of booze. The Erwin family wouldnt have it any other way! Water balloons galore! We just played for 3 days, all 19 of us. We had such a good time. We decided to make it an annual thing. However we better start planning now cuz its tough to get all 19 of us in one place for 4 days! But so worth it!
