Long Weekend with Emery

CAMPING!
Yahoo, the Weekend! It was a crazy busy weekend- I hardly had time to change my mind. There was supposed to be a church camp out, but it got cancelled. But, since the campground was still reserved, we decided to go anyway. And as luck would have it, Emery was here and she wanted to go with us.
We got a late start from home, so we stopped and grabbed some Colonel's chicken- dang! you've gotta love those 11 secret herbs and spices. We got to the campground and it was already dark... and guess what? We bought a brand new tent that we hadn't put up yet- I was worried we'd just end up throwing the thing on top of us cause we wouldn't be able to do it in the dark..... right. But with Emery's help- badda bing!
Brenda and I were prepared for a wonderful night's sleep with our blowup mattress, but little did we know that our wonderful night's sleep would not be so. We both woke up in the middle of the night in a jumbled heap in the middle of a leaking mattress and we couldn't
get away from each other. Well, after dozing off and on for hours, I couldn't wait for it to be morning so I could get up. When it finally was time to get up, we both had bottomed out (bun intended) and we both got up. Emery had a wonderful night's sleep. I was getting envious of her foam mattress she was sleeping on... I wonder if she would have noticed if I would have moved her off and put her in my spot and I taken hers? No, what are you thinking Gpa? We had some hot chocolate and muffins for breakfast, walked around the camp, saw wild turkeys, heard squirrels, played "Pooh Stick" in the river. Feast yer eyes on a few pix.

SLIDING!
Also on the menu, and the reason we had to hurry home from camping, I had my work party. I told Brenda we wouldn't be there long "...10 minutes, 15 tops, then we'll pull the old Aunt Emily trick...". We came, we ate- dang good food (steak, chicken, pulled pork corn-on-the-cob, etc), got some pix of Taylor and Emery sliding on ginormously long water slide. We couldn't stay long at the party either, not because of Aunt Emily, but because I had some church meetings I had to go to... so again, Feast yer eyes on a few pix. Looks like I got Taylor's good side on one of the shots :)
.... The End.

  1. Brotha, that sounds like so much fun. I haven't been camping in a coon's age, but t'would be so much fun to do so. She's such a lucky (and gorgeous) little gal to have grandparents as cool as mom and pop Zaugg!
