Baby Moon to Remember

Eric and I decided that we wanted to take a little trip just the two of us before mister Cooper arrives.  We didn't want to spend a lot of money so we decided to go to Lake Degray for the weekend.  Eric's dad has a nice camper and they also just bought a new party barge, so we thought that would be the perfect combination for a relaxing weekend.  Well, not so much!!  I swear everything went wrong on this trip that could have.  When we took the camper out Thursday afternoon to get set up, the electronic jack on the camper broke before we could get it leveled.  So basically that meant the camper was tilted a little downwards all weekend.  We tried to fix it with a manual jack, but it still wasn't perfect.  It wasn't noticeable until we went to bed. Our heads were higher than our feet, so we would wake up in the middle of the night and our covers would be at the front of the bed! LOL!  Our next catastrophe was when we went to hook up power to the camper and our extension cord was too short.  And apparently you can't use just any extension cord for this power cord, so it was looking like our camping trip was over before it began.  We were about to pack up and leave, but decided to call one of Eric's dad friends hoping they might have one.  Thankfully they did!!!  So at about  10:00 Thursday night, we finally got power.  Next, we realized we didn't have water.  The pump on the camper was messed up.  But at least we had electricity and AC! We thought to ourselves, okay, this was just one bad night, it's got to get better!  We woke up Friday (covers on the floor, HA) and went to put the barge in.  Thankfully nothing went wrong with the barge, but Eric did get a ticket because we forgot to put our boat slip pass in the window.  But other than that, Friday was a good day.  We went and played golf with some friends and it was alot of fun!  We got back to the campsite Friday evening to grill burgers.  The grill out there was horrible!  We could not get the burgers cooked.  They were burned on the outside and red in the middle.  Yum!  So, I had banana pudding for dinner.  Not complaining there :)  After dinner we decided to play monopoly (the only game we brought).  We got it all set up and ready to play and realized we had no dice.  GREAT!  So, Eric being the creative person he is, found a deck of cards and came up with an alternative for dice.  We each had a joker (for the 1), 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6 just like you have on dice.  And instead of rolling dice, we each flipped over a card. It worked pretty good and it was kinda fun :)  Again, we thought, surely nothing else could go wrong.  I was looking forward to Saturday because that was the day we were going to take the barge out all day and go fishing.  Well, we woke up Saturday and it was FREEZING outside and there was a lake wind advisory!!  It's crazy when it's the middle of May and everyone camping was in jackets and pants.  It was too cold to do anything out on the lake so we played some more monopoly. Finally around 3:00 the sun came out just a little so we decided to try and go out on the barge.  We went out for about an hour, but it was miserable and cold so we just came back to camp.  Our family came out that night to grill steaks with us.  That at least went smoothly! HA!  We all had a good time! After everyone left, we played our fourth game of monopoly for the weekend and went to bed.  I think we were both ready to see Sunday come to get back to civilization!  Oh, and I have no pictures from the weekend because my camera battery was dead.  Add that to the list of things gone wrong!  So, our little baby moon wasn't quite as relaxing as we thought it would be, but it was memorable.  It will be something we can look back on and laugh about :)  Next time we are going to the beach!!
