Ahhh, back from caming and a well-spent break. It's good to have a shower, though.
Kids, dog, sitting around the fire, and we ate better this weekend than we normally do. Fire heated coffee, french toast and sausage, southwestern-style soup, hamburgers and perfectly done baby red potatoes, wrapped in foil and set in the coals, spicy smoked sausage, s'mores...oof.
Luckily this feasting was tempered by some hikes, trips to the river, and the usual camping chores.
A little more mundane than usual, but good times were had by all.
It was wonderful to hangout with
Jaxi,
jcs_7th_equinox, and
Oponn, all of them spoiled us rotten.
immortalsofar was delighted to have a new audience, be it the toddlers or the rest of them. He's in a heap of trouble with Sue, as he was happy to spread new terms and questionable information on to Neelima and Arianna, who drank it in like he was the pied piper himself. Example, Nemo learning to say "C'mere bitch!" or him convincing Ari the coudcover was dragons and they were going to come get them. Yeah.
When we left we stopped and talked to Barry the camp host for half an hour or so, lovable old rascal that he is, the rangers have their hands full with him, though if he makes it another few years Graves Creek will be the nicest campground on the peninsula.
