Which opening sentence most strongly engages the reader and provides context?

The weekend was dreadful with bad weather, foul bugs, a Bigfoot sighting, and the worst camping trip in the history of camping trips.
We could have had a worse weekend, but it's awfully hard to beat Bigfoot and bugs.
We could have picked worse weather for fighting off mosquitoes, Bigfoot, and an army of ants, but even without torrential downpours it was pretty much the worst camping trip ever.
When your weekend goes from bad to worse, it might not do to go camping with ants, mosquitoes, rain and Bigfoot.

I believe the answer may be ‘We could have picked worse weather for fighting off mosquitoes, Bigfoot, and an army of ants, but even without torrential downpours it was pretty much the worst camping trip ever.‘ but I’m sorry if it wasn’t
