Camping... - Our Traveling Tribe

Last Thursday we picked up stakes and moved.

We ended up at a local lake, and, since we don’t have any hookups, we feel like we are camping again. Kinda nice!

This is our new view…

The kids are loving being near the water, even if it STILL isn’t summer here!

The weather has been rather dismal (seems like it’s been rainy ever since we got back to town 5 weeks ago!)…

The little kids are enjoying the oodles of skipping rocks. Molly would love the oodles of ‘slobbering’ rocks if only big sis would let her eat them!

Poor thing! hehehe!

The boys rescued me from this vicious mom-eating snake – yuck!

And for the record, Molly is faster than her brother…(and the snake needed to be rescued from Molly!)…

The guys had bought fishing licenses so that we could fish in the little creek at the last rv park, so they were down at the lake throwing a line in right away. All they have been catching though is carp (bottom-feeders – yuck!)…

Family friend Scott (and his son Sam), came over on Sun. afternoon and went fishing. He is one of Peanuts ‘chosen few’, and she had a great time finding pretty rocks to give him – hundreds of them, all afternoon – the man is a saint!

We are loving being camping again – but that also means fewer and FAST showers, running the generator to vacuum or watch a Friday night movie, and I am going through withdrawls from the crockpot! It also means that our extra little fridge back in the garage doesn’t work (we are not plugged in to electric, and it doesn’t run on propane), so we are trying to get used to having only the 8s.f. fridge in the kitchen again.

We really like our site here, even if there are a ton of bugs; they look like mosquitoes, but don’t bite. The kids have been riding their bikes, and have a fire going just about all the time…

There is a lot of room to run here, and the sunsets are gorgeous…
