Well, we're back! AWESOME weekend! By the time we dropped off and setup the camper, hit the supply store (local Walmart) and grabbed sandwiches, it was after 10pm.
But we made up for it by sleeping in til just after 9am. LOVE waking up in the CG! May sound strange, but this is the latest we've arrived at a CG. We went to local COE, so they don't take reservations.
As luck would have it, we got an electric + water site, met up with some friends we know from last year, and made lots of new friends.
This weekend involved boats, canoes, fishing, playgrounds, nature walks, Junior Ranger activities, visits to COE Dam, grand nieces visiting and staying overnight for their very first camping experience and sleepover, glowsticks, fresh corn on the cob, pancakes, hotdogs/sausages/hamburgs, lots of fellow camper visitors and invites to their sites, and....tons of other stuff :B
I don't think we could have fit all that stuff into an itinerary :P
We were busy just about every minute, but very relaxed. Enjoyed all the company from old friends and new.
Thanks to all who wished us well and continue to camp with the same kind of attitude and friendliness that makes for pleasant and memorable experiences for all.
Yeah, I probably sound all mushy and stuff, but we just...sniff...love camping and can't wait to go again :B LOL.
If you find yourself with some extra time and wonder if you should go camping...just DO IT!
See ya'll at the CGs. We'll be the ones with all the extra chairs. Stop by and take a load off!
