The Great Outdoors (Day 1)

Ever since we got back from Disneyland back in April, we've been planning a camping trip with Jason's family up to their favorite spot at Sulphur Campground in the Uinta's. The time finally came for our adventure, and it was all we had hoped for and more.
Dee and Julie left a day before everyone else because the particular site we wanted at the campground is a walk up only, so we weren't able to reserve it. I'm so glad they did too, because Wednesday night a huge group showed up and they for sure would have taken our site along with the several others they occupied. It's just the perfect spot, it's a double so there's plenty of room for us all, it's close but not too close to the bathrooms, right next to a water spigot, and behind it is a big, beautiful meadow.
Since we can't fit all of our things in just one of our vehicles, the boys and I left Wednesday morning leaving Jason to follow with Gus and a couple of the larger things after he got off work. It was a remarkably short two hour drive up. The boys watched movies (Jake watched The Great Outdoors, he loves it) and Emmett slept until about the last 20 minutes. It was at about that 20 mins left mark that I learned that Cooper does not realize how lucky he is to be able to pee anywhere and refused to exercise that ability on the side of the road. Luckily he held it the rest of the way and Grandpa kindly walked him to the bathroom while I started to unload. This continued the rest of the trip, minus maybe two or three times. He refused. That was supposed to be one of the benefits of having all boys. Jake however proudly watered quite possibly every tree in or near our site.
Moving on. ( I'm really let down by the pee thing, can you tell.)

We got there around noon and Cody, Kelsea, Maddi, Molly pulled in around 4 or 5. The kids were all excited to see each other so I kept an eye on them while Cody and Kels unloaded and set up camp.
After they finished we roasted some hot dogs for dinner and let the kids play until the rain came.
The one and only downfall about our favorite spot is that it rains just about every day. Typically the rain will come and go in 20 minutes tops, but this one did not want to let up. Have you noticed that there's still no Jason up until this point, and did I mention that he had our tent? Thinking that it would blow over quickly like the rain usually does, we all just huddled under the canopy with the tables and camp chefs to wait it out. And wait we did. 5 adults, 5 kids, and the dog crammed under a canopy among all the cooking supplies. Coop fell asleep standing up with his head resting on grandpa, so we moved him to grandma's bed. Finally, around 9 or so the glorious sight of Jason's headlights beamed into the campsite. We found a spot under some trees, waited for the rain to get light enough and made quick work of getting the tent and beds all set up.
I have never in my life looked forward to sleeping on an air mattress as much as I was that night.
When Jason and I settled into our bed, we looked at one another and both agreed that we are definitely getting a trailer. This happened again around the third or fourth time Emmett woke up, right before he ended up on our air mattress between us.
