Well, we had another wonderful weekend of camping along with some special guests. I got off work at 11:30 Friday, I took a 1/2 day and let me tell you, it was great walking out at 11:30, because starting in August, no vacation for anyone! It's our busiest time of the year, so they say, and I'm just waiting for it..
After work, I came home and woke Tom up, the kids were all ready to go. I didn't think Micayla was going because she's still using crutches, but she decided she would give it a try. Her friend camps and she wanted to "hang out" with her. So she hobbled around pretty good, but her knee was kind of bothering her, so she took some pain pills and watched a movie in the camper.
So our guest...we brought mom with us! We mentioned something to her last weekend about her and dad coming up, since Andy, Bill, Nikki and Lexi and one of her friends, it was awesome to have mom there. We picked mom up on our way up to Whitetail, because dad couldn't make it Friday night because of a Moose meeting, so he was going to come down Saturday. Friday night, was a relaxing one, well they both were pretty relaxing, but we made brats and sweet corn for dinner. We hung out by the fire until about midnight and went to bed. Mom slept in Andy's camper on the couch, since dad wasn't there, it was just easier for her to sleep in there, especially since Micayla and Brandon were with us.
Saturday we got up and we all ate breakfast together, we made, or I should say mom and Andy made scrabbled eggs with ham, bacon, mushrooms, onions, I'm sure I'm missing something, but it was so good. That afternoon, we went to the pool, it was super hot outside and we loaded up on the sunscreen. They had there Saturday pool party from 2:00 to 4:00 and we were up there about noon and stayed until after the pool party. The owners son has music equipment and he plays his music outside, it brings most of the campers up to the pool, however the pool gets super crowded, but it's always a lot of fun. After the pool, we came home and had a few snacks before getting ready for dinner. Everyone brought there own steaks! My mouths watering just thinking about them. I put the famous Kalmes seasoning on ours and wow, the steak just melted in my mouth. We good the steak over charcoal. Bill had tripod thing that fit over the firepit, so we got the charcoal ready just like we would if we had the webber grill. They cooked nice and slow. I made cheesy hashbrowns in the crock pot, used a crockpot liner, and it worked slick as a whistle, no clean up or anything. Oh, I also made some asparagus and fresh mushrooms on the grill. Needless to say, we were stuffed and exhausted! Oh I forgot to mention Dad made it up just in time for snacks. After dinner, mom and dad decided they were going to go home and sleep in there own bed, I don't blame them, but I was just excited they were up with us. Micayla ended up going home, her friend came to get her, because she was kind of miserable since she couldn't go swimming or anything and it was really hot!
So today, we got home about noon again, Brandon had a baseball game, his last one, yippee... his game was at 2:00 unfortunately they didn't win, but it was a good game, Brandon had an awesome catch in left field and a base hit tonight, it was a good way to end the season. After that, we stop and got a six pack and a pound from Taco Johns, ate that, they Tom went to lay down and I took Brandon to his friends house, they were going to go biking. I stopped up at moms, because she said she "had something" for me. She's so silly, anyway, she bought me a beach bag, it's super cute and has little purses all over it. Thanks Mom, you didn't have to do that, it was our pleasure having you join us up at Whitetail, we decided we are going to do this together more often.
So it's almost time for Tom to leave for work, so I'm going to go talk to him for a few minutes, then I'm off to bed. I sure hope there are no flies in our house, because I was about to so insane in the camper, they are such a pest when you are trying to sleep. I think I slept with the flyswatter but it didn't seem to help. Anyway, I'm glad to be in my own bed, sheets were washed and hung outside today, so they are going to smell so good. Good night!
