We spent the extended Fourth of July weekend at the lake where our camper is parked permanently. The kids love it there! We park our 5th wheel trailer at Kochs Meadow Lakes Campground. Its a private campground for members only so life is predictable and safe. We know everyone and they know us. Less than 40 campers, so its small and nice. Its also undisturbed with plenty of wildlife and plenty of fish to be caught in the lake.
This weekend, other than a mishap of lost eyeglasses (Joe's) and an episode of vomiting (again Joe) it was a great weekend. The weather was nearly perfect with low humidity to start the weekend and just a bit of rain that did not spoil too much on Sunday night and Monday. The worst part about camping is packing to go home.
Alexis was absent from our weekend as she traveled with Grandma and Grandpa and Lauren to the east to visit the Bobkas. She is having a great time of her own.
Joe and Xavier spent much of their time with our new campsite neighbors who have 2 boys--Cody (16) who loves to fish and Travis (11)--finally an age appropriate friend for Charley! Joe caught a blue gill on Friday evening and was so pleased with himself! He awoke at 7:30 on Saturday morning and said with pole in hand "Mom, I'm gonna catch you a fish, pinky swear!" and off he flew with his pole following the older boys to the edge of the lake.
Saturday night was family night--food, games, and friends. We shared a mexican themed feast with our neighbors and good friends the Durhams and new friends the Gilhoulys. Tacos, tostadas, jalepeno rice, and of course margaritas (virgin ones for the kids!). Absolutely delicious!
