Whatever You Want Honey

[I know, it's a long time after the fact, but, hey, I've been busy.]

We had a blast. As for the humidity and rain, I could have done without it, but you cannot be too picky when you are camping. Or can you?

We decided the next camping trip will be near some shoreline and instead of tents we will be sleeping in cabins. I do not want to sleep in a river again. Our tent sprouted multiple streams on Sunday. Not all that fun unless you have gills and flippers. The last time I checked, my gills and flippers disappeared in the womb.

Anyway, I wanted to post a few of the pictures that were captured during our mini-VA-cation.

Here is our little group.

Left to Right

First Row – Kids:
Kaleb, Matthew, Samara, Emily, Brennen and Matthew (Yup. Two Matthews)

Second Row:
Me (Dale), Becki, Yvonne, Kevin, Patty and Steve

Back Row:
Jim, Heather, Terry and Rhoda (dog)

Here I snapped a quick photo of our neighbor who obliged us by taking a photograph of us in the group setting.

This is our mansion… that got flooded… did I mention that if you fill a tent full with water, nearly everything sinks? Except for the air mattress.

---

This is Heather, Mat, Sam and Rhoda’s site here, it got flooded too. The two sites that I staked down got flooded. Coincidence? The world may never know.

---

This is where Terry and Jim stayed. They stayed dry.

---

Yvonne, Kevin, Brennen and Emily stayed here. They stayed dry, too. Hrumph.

---

I didn’t get a picture of Patty, Steve and Matthew’s Hilton on wheels, so you will just have to imaging all the luxuries of the Hilton being towed behind a big pickup truck. Did I mention they had air conditioning and a game console? A tent??? What was I thinking???!!!

---

Terry was caught in the act.

---

Saturday, the kids got to play with bubbles, while the adults blogged and read e-mail. This was a camping excursion, after all.

---

It would not be a trip if Heather didn’t sing and dance.

---

The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round… Me singing and Kaleb lip syncing. Actually, you couldn’t hear me, which is a blessing to those listening.

---

When it was time to go, the kids decided they would help…

---

… and help…

---

… and help.

I have another story to tell about the trip home. You can laugh, I just don’t want to know how funny you think it is.
