Big Bear 2008
This weekend a few girls and I went on our annual girls trip. This year instead of Vegas, Santa Barbara, San Diego, etc we decided to take it easy and go up to Big Bear for the weekend. There was 8 of us this weekend and for the first time most of all the girls where mothers or mothers to be! Nuts! Oh, how things change. Some of the girls hadn't even been highly intoxicated in a year (a few just had babies). I think that they were shocked that they stayed up past 9pm.
We arrived on Sat morning and I must say the house was amazing and the perfect family and get away home I have ever been too. One word description, impressive! I wasn't really worried about having fun because my girlfriends are hilarious but I would be lying if I said I wasn't concerned that I would be left out a little (I mean, one of the purposes was to let loose and really drink the night away).
Let me be the first to say, you can still be pregnant and NORMAL! Before the trip, the girls and I went to the store and brought several different appetizer and our drinks of choice, mine of course was a Non-Alcoholic Beer. (Buckler?) Whatever it was called it was tasty! We played drinking games all night, a 4 hour game of caps!, it was perfect. And YES I played too. I even participated in a few waterfalls with my Buckler beer...lol. It was not bad at all. There was times I actually forgot I wasn't drinking and Turtle would kick me and remind me that there was something a little different about this girl trip for others past. So for any pregnant girl reading this that thinks you can't hang because you have are with child, shhhh! that's crap. You make your own destiny. Have fun!
I even impressed myself with my sober cap skills. I don't think that I was the only one shocked! As most of all my friends will tell you, I am for sure a second or even third draft pick when it comes to caps. When we were talking about what teams to create, neither team would even claim me. I think after all the ridicule, Turtle over hearing all her aunts bash on me, felt like she needed to remind me to show these girls that I am not as bad at caps as they remember! The entire time we played caps (like 4 hours!) she kicked me like crazy, and you know what, I wasn't bad at all! I guess that is one thing I for sure do better sober. Or maybe it was Turtle that will have the skills when she is born.
Anyway, it was a perfect weekend and it was nice to get away. I missed Christian more than I thought, it was a little weird to sleep solo and pregnant. Although it was nice to be away, it is always nice to be home.
Here are some pictures of our trip.
Elishia's Red Beer! (grenadine added, gross)
