Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Exactly my fear. My house is made up of mostly non vaccinated & some partially vaccinated.

My extended family are huggers. It’s usually a gift, but suddenly feels like a curse.

Going is not a financially responsible decision. Going during a pandemic is ridiculous. I keep telling myself to let it go, then I continue shuffle the pieces again. 🙄
Hitchhike... saves bunches of money

Yes, we’ll be outside a lot.

Trying to find last minute lodging that close to Yellowstone in the summer has been a challenge too. I know they could find a spot for me with somebody’s cousins, mother inlaws sister. I don’t know about you guys, but I just can not do that.

I even talked about buying one of those tents that pop up in the back of the truck. DH was not amused.
Just sleep in the truck! ;)

Bring a blow up doll and dress it like a big scary man.... that will protect you.

I love that you think this way. I’m a huge fan of ink & paper pros & cons lists. The problem is that there were way more cons than pros, but I still keep hashing over. It’s like defying logic, or insanity or something. :he
There's also something a little adventurous about going someplace by yourself - could be fun.
 
I just have to vent. DS texted me about 5:00 and said they were 15 minutes out of (big town, 2 hours from here) and were going to “stop and stretch our legs”. And proceeded to suggest I bring kids and dog into town so they can all be at their own house for a while. Town is 20 minutes from here. Stopping to stretch one’s legs to me means, “we’ll be back on the road in 15-20 minutes or so.” Nope. I got a text at 6:40, telling me that they were just leaving said town, ETA is 8:50 and “it might just be best to take them into town.” Being the kind, generous mother I am, I texted back and told them, “We’ll see how things are going. Your dog stinketh again, Dad’s raking hay and I’m not up to wrangling both dogs and both kids by the lake. She’s not getting into my car.” I think my dog and the wretched little beast rolled in some rotten soybeans. Worst stench ever. The best (and yet still ineffective) way to describe it is the worst diarrhea you can imagine mixed with decaying roadkill. You know, when it’s still a bit juicy. The roadkill, I mean.
