Did you miss me? LOL Been spending time reading, getting the camper ready and then going to Pardeville and camping with the granddaughters and son Jared. Yes, the heat was crazy. Though normally I can take the heat pretty well, but temps of 100+ is even too much for me. Still we had a good time. The girls went swimming 3 times a day as the swimming lake they have there and once in the indoor pool. Played minature golf, and watched movies (in the airconditioned camper of course). Nicole's time was cut a day short as relatives of her father had come up unexpectantly, so her parents came a picked her up. Since they hadn't been back for 4 or 5 years they wanted to see her. Jared and Carson went paddleboating and Alyssa too a nap. I doubt she will want to go again. If she doesn't have a tv (movies by dvd don't count) and her computer, everything is '"boring".
Keeping ice in the coolers was a trick in itself. Everyone was running back and forth to the store three and four times a day. Had you seen us you would have question the sanity of we adults. There we were, sitting out in the heat people watching, and the girls in the a/c watching a movie. Lol. Heat must have baked our brains. Of course the last day and morning things cooled down. Thought about checking to see if we could leave the camper there and come back later in the week. All in all, it was a good trip.
I did miss you. It sounds like you had a wonderful time with grandkids.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad it has cooled off a bit.
Sounds like you had a great time. I miss camping, but I have to admit, with 100 degree temperatures, I would have packed up and come home. Just can't take the head anymore.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a good trip my friend. I have to say our regular camping days are over. We don't have a trailer anymore and I refuse to sleep in a tent...sorry, just not going to happen. Now for the most part we rent cabins and that has been a real joy for us. We will soon depart for one that has all the comforts of home and lots of stuff to see from what I've heard. I look forward to a change of scenery without a doubt...though the heat has been blistering and dry here.
ReplyDeleteI have your blog on my reading list, and for the life of me, I don't know how I missed so many posts!!! The one you posted today (July 16) was the first one that showed up on my reading list!!! I always make sure I read everyone's posts, and most days,I try to comment....sorry, I haven't been boycotting your blog!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had an absolutely wonderful time! That is my kind of camping! Even though I love being outdoors, I don't like bugs, and I don't like being so vunerable as to be in an unlockable tent!!!
