Well back at work and the FW is back at his parents... but what a fabulous weekend!!! We had a few problems, but all in all a GREAT time was had by all.
Friday & Saturday night sleep overs!! On Friday I had to work until 8p, so everyone was there when I got to the park (along with many more campers for the weekend) We had dinner, then roasted marshmallows and banana boats, and then time to make the beds... his parents slept on the pull-out couch, Melanie and Abigail on the table/bed (which still doesn't work right) and Brianna had her own bed using the 2 rockers face-to-face- and of course our girls in bed with us!! It was after midnight before we got to bed.
I had to work Saturday, but not as early as I thought- so was able to eat breakfast before heading to work- they spent the day mostly at the FW with a trip to Hobe Mountain (observation deck) and the play ground for some swing time :) I got home and Ian had a catfish fry that night with hushpuppies, grits, shrimp and peas- YUM!
The next morning- well 2:ooam that morning I was awakened by the awning blowing in the wind- so we (Ian, myself and his parents) got up to put it back in...
In the morning we had breakfast; biscuits and sausage gravy, eggs, grits, and bacon- Yeah we ate TOO much this trip!!!! Then it was time to dump the galley (kitchen sink) holding tank- it was FULL- so we hooked her up and over to the dumping station we went.... all went well UNTIL pulling out. While checking the trailer- we missed seeing this little stump- Ian drove over then when he tried to reverse it almost took the plastic bumper guard right off!!! After many failed attempts to resolve- Josie was able to locate an extension cord for us and Ian used his saws-all to cut the stump and we were able to back over it.
So on with our day....... canoeing :) Allison and Garry made it up to join us too!! I will let you know now most of the pics from the canoe trip were taken by Brianna herself, she does a good job too, but sometimes gets carried away with self portraits and random stuff- hehe. She also took some of the ones back at the campground.
After canoeing, back to the site for the BBQ and then had to pack up and head back- not forgetting to dump all the tanks (watch out for the stump, Ian LOL)
Overall it was a great first trip and I feel very ready to get on the road and do this full time!! Hopefully will find out this week where we could be going.......Las Vegas, Pittsburgh, Ohio, Texas, who knows??
Enjoy the albums
