This weekend was the first weekend, at Whitetail Bluff, of five! We get to leave our camper up there for 5 weeks in a row. We love it, it makes camping so much better because then we don't have to set up and take down every weekend. Well, we still have to put things away, put the awning up and clean up a little, but we don't have to pull the camper for 5 weeks. This is one way to find out if we want to go permanent up at Whitetail. We are on the list but it probably wont be until next year, so we just wait and see.
It was a great weekend, Micayla and I drove up Friday night about 6:00, after stopping at Hy-vee and Van's. Tom left earlier with the camper to get things set up. If he would have waiting for me, we wouldn't have gotten up there until 6:00 or so at the earliest and that time of night there's lots of people running around trying to get everything set up, so we decided that Tom will go up earlier, plus the Malibu needed a good "highway" driving and Micayla was wanting to drive, so it worked out good. She's doing a great job!
Andy and Bill were camping right next to us, which is always fun and entertaining. Friday night, we just sat by the camper and drank a few beers, nothing too exciting, we cooked brats for dinner and just relaxed by the fire. Saturday, we slept in, got up and cooked breakfast and then went to hang out by the pool. It was a beautiful day and very refreshing to have a pool available. Andy and Bill went into town, Cassville, to there farmer's market and they came back with some sweet corn. And it was only $2.75! Fincels is $5.00! And let me tell you, the $2.75 corn was just as good. I know we pay for the "fincels" name, but come on... Oh well, so Saturday night, we good chicken breast sandwiches. This is something my sister-in-law, Kristi got up hooked on. On our trip to Hy-vee before camping Friday night, I thought about what to cook.. so we got a fresh tomato here at home, from fincels, oh and the tomato from Cassville's farmer market was only a quarter, we didn't get one of those, but it's crazy the difference in prices. I'm not sure what Tom paid for his tomato, but I'm sure it was much more than a quarter. So we cooked up some chicken breast and made sandwiches out of them. I brought some buns, lettuce, tomato and mayo. And we made the sweetcorn Andy and Bill picked up for us. Oh and it was SO good! The rest of night was again, pretty relaxing. We played a couple games of bean bags but it was another relaxing night. This is why we love camping so much, for the relaxation. Sunday, we got up made breakfast and started cleaning up and drove home about noon. Again, we got to leave the camper up there for the next few weeks.
Next week, Andy and Bill are going to be up there too, they left there camper as well. Nikki and Lexi are camping too, so we talked to mom and dad and they are going to come camping with us. They will probably crash with Nikki, since Chuck wont be there, he's got some union meeting, so hopefully it's a nice weekend. We are already planning on the food. We hope to have steaks and everyone will bring something to share. We hope Tom and Linda come down too. It will be so much fun, hopefully! LOL - you never know about my family..
Well, Tom's about ready to go to work and I have to listen to my Jazzercise songs that I put in for tomorrow.
