This weekend was probably what Jon would consider Monumental. We made the 1st camping trip in the new Westafalia. If you didn't know, Jon found this gem about 2 months ago and sold the VW 73 Bus.
We've had this trip planned for what seems like a year, maybe 6 months to visit with Jon's crew, see some of my family and enjoy the outdoors.
As my dear friend Judy said, I started with really low expectations (I mean that in the nicest way) and it was a fabulous weekend. The weather was the perfect temperature, with no rain or humidity and the kids were thoroughly entertained every step of the way. Friday we made do without a nap, and explored the campground, hiked by the creek and finished the day by making smores... Sat. we visited the playground, went fishing and had a great dinner with the extended family.
Charlie loved sleeping in his new batcave and spent his 'free' time adding to his caterpillar family and building out their habitats which were our dinner centerpiece.
Matt & Will loved throwing rocks in the water, pushing their trucks around and fishing too.

| I drank coffee, a half a cup, but needed something to get moving. A coffee and a diet coke actually... who knows what the world is coming to... |

| Jon, Linda & Charlie. Please notice the caterpillar condominium front center. This was much entertainment to all. |

| Thought we'd try and get a group shot with Ken & Linda. But yet, there is always one kid that is trying to escape. |

| Matt & Will. This picture says twin synergy to me. How about you? |

| Matt really had the lucky touch. I would take him if you want to catch something. He was at the rod all 3 times a fish was reeled in. |
