Too many kids?

I think this is funny - not ranting, just sharing:)

We have a seasonal right next to 2 other families who are friends. Out of this little clump of 4 sites that are kind of together, we have 3 of them. We are very "communal" in that everyone's site is kind of part of everyone elses, one fire pit, shared toys, etc. Between the 3 families we have 12 kids, and 8 of them are 4 and under.

Last weekend somebody pulled into the open site connected to ours, backed in the trailer and plugged the power into the pedestal. They got out and looked around at all our kids running around playing (and we didn't even have the bounce house set up yet). They talked for about 10 minutes without setting anything else up, then one walked back to the pedestal to unplug. One of our group said, "we didn't scare you away, did we?" "No," he said. "Somebody in our group isn't feeling well."

Riiiiiight;)
They pulled out, drove around the campground, and backed into a spot 2 sites down on the other side of a big fifth wheel:) Must be a lap around the campground made them feel all better:)

Seriously, If I didn't have all those kids (5 of those are mine) and pulled in next to that and there was an opening elsewhere, can't say I wouldn't do the same thing. Hanging with us isn't for wimps:)
  • it's good that you can see the humor of it and also understand that a herd of kids isn't everybody's idea of fun.
    when our family gets together it's the same as yours, but since they're all "ours" we like it just fine. :)
