Camping at the Dam

On Sunday we took off to the Dam near Eureka Springs, the weather was perfect - we - well me and J - not Brad - swam. Brad was busy putting up the tent, starting the fire - but eventually I saw some of the stress leave him as we sat in our arm chairs and watched the sun go down over Beaver lake. It was the most relaxed I'd been in a while too, heavily pregnant with just 5 weeks to go I needed to just be around some water and relax before the birth. Brad snapped some opportune photos of me as the sun set, which I really like. Also J played on the swings and fort near our campsite - which was the best campsite I've ever been too. We had the perfect view of the water - shady trees and a picnic table all to ourselves. J was a poop bum the next day, generally not listening - but we are working on it with numerous time outs and a few spankings thrown in for good measure. We know he is testing us - and we try to keep our cool - but there comes a point where he needs to know who is in charge - and its us. We came home this morning after a huge camp breakfast of fried onions, sausage, tomato's and eggs - yum! After everyone had long naps - we are all now being civil to each other again. Did I mention sleeping on the ground when heavily pregnant is like so NOT a good idea.
