Isn't Labor Day weekend supposed to be nice? Well, it wasn't very nice, mother nature did not want us outside enjoying the holiday weekend. It felt more like Memorial Day weekend.
Friday we got off work at 2:00! We were so excited because August is such a crazy month and no one is allowed to take vacation unless something major comes up so we were super excited to get out early and have a 3 day weekend.
Tom and I took off for Whitetail about 3:00, the kids stayed home, they had family in town and Brandon had to work so they stayed home.
It's hard to believe but when we got up to Whitetail, it was about 90 degrees out, it was HOT! I know I said earlier it was a crappy weekend but Friday was beautiful. This crazy weather, the kids got out of school early on Thursday because of the heat and today it's not even 75 degrees out. I just don't get it. Anyway, we mowed the lawn so we didn't have to worry about it the rest of the weekend. All the permanent campers were up there this weekend, it's so fun when we are all together, we have lots of fun and lots of laughs. I sure get to see sides of people not being able to drink that's for sure.
One thing is for sure we eat well when we camp, Friday night we grilled out brats and had chips and dip, Saturday we put a roast in the crock pot and let it cook all day, our camper smelled wonderful, and we make Italian beef sandwiches out of it, OMG it was so good, we even had to share with our fellow campers, they loved it as well. It was a big hit and super duper easy. Sunday we all had a little potluck amongst our group, there were so many different items, stuffed mushrooms, stuffed jalapenos, spinach artichoke dip and much much more. We made a chicken salad dip, it was so yummy.
Mom, Dad and Grandma all came up Sunday afternoon to visit with us. Grandma has never seen Whitetail before and Andy and Bill, Erica and her family and Gordon and Lorlie were all up there too. Unfortunately with the crappy weather we didn't get to hang out much. But Grandma got to see our new camper and seemed to really enjoy herself. They went to the 3 Mile House on there way back home.
Speaking of weather, Saturday it rained ALL day, there were a few breaks in between but it was cold and rainy all day. Tom and I borrowed a couple of movies from the neighbors and snuck in early to watch and snuggle. We put the couch bed out, turned the TV out so we could see it and watched Limitless and Black Swan, that one was a little weird but Limetless was really good. Who wouldn't like a movie with Bradly Cooper? Sunday the weather was much better but still chilly and windy. We did get to sit by the campfire Sunday when felt wonderful and Sunday, of course, it was beautiful and time to go home. That always happens, it's always the nicest day when you have to leave.
Sunday night I went to Grandma's for a cook out, she had hamburgers and chips and Uncle Dan's dip. That's the best dip, speaking of that, I need to order some more, we are out.
Overall it was a great weekend. Next weekend is a Chili cook off up at Whitetail so we are going to cook up some chili and hopefully win something. Tom makes a mean Chili. That sounds so good right now.
