we got up super early today to head to dads so we can get on the road up to lost lake for our camping trip. laylee seemed to be in good spirits. i had all of our things packed and ready to go. we got to dads at about 9 a.m. he already had everything hooked up and ready to go. we had some oatmeal for breakfast and i gave laylee her bottle then we all packed into the truck (tyler, dad, kylie, laylee and i) and started out on our long drive up to lost lake. laylee and i slept most of the way while dad and tyler made the occasional stop to shoot a prarie dog or two. we made a stop about half way there and i changed laylee on my lap in the back of the truck. she pee'd on me of course.. after we got cleaned up we got back on the road (if you could call it that.. we were literally in the mountains). it took us a total of about three hours to get to lost lake. it was absolutely gorgeous up there. the trees were the most vibrant color green and the lake was so clear and pretty. dad and ty set up a little camp site for us all while i tried to give laylee a bottle. she must have been upset by the altitude change or something because she was aweful fussy and didnt wanna eat. she continued to be unhappy through most of the afternoon and we all took turns holding her and trying to console her. in between laylee shifts, we fished and spent time in the beauty of the outdoors. tyler chopped firewood and made an attempt to catch some minos for bate (he was unfortunately unsuccessful). we never did catch anything. later that everning we saw some nasty clouds rolling in... and just after we had started the fire too! the nasty thunderstorm rolled in fast and we were all forced into the trailer for about two hours. thankfully laylee had taken a bottle and was sleeping peacfully (one less thing we had to worry about). after the storm passed we spent time around the campfire making smores and enjoying the warmth and light of the fire. it wasnt long before we were all VERY tired and ready to turn in. dad and tyler got all the beds ready while ky and i took turns holding laylee and getting things ready for bed. after every one was tucked in for the night.. tyler and i had a hell of a time getting laylee to sleep. she was up constantly through the night. it was a total NIGHTMERE. poor ty didnt get any sleep because laylee was snuggled up against him and she kicked him all night.
