Winter Excursion 4, Day 121

Cath set a new record for laundry today, eight loads, washed, dried, and folded in 1.5 hours!
After laundry we headed back to camp. I left to wash the truck and pick up Jacob from school. Here he is in one of his usual positions!

We all relaxed in the late afternoon as the weather was perfect. We had a real campfire as Jacob split a bunch of wood (not!). Cath made a yummy dinner of beer can chicken. We played some cards, watched a few shows, and then off to bed.

Winter Excursion 4, Day 120

The highlight of the day happened this morning. Jacob's 5th grade class did a "Wax museum" as they have been studying Black History this month. Here's Jacob acting his character Lewis Howard Latimer. He did a great job and really acted the part. You had to "push" the disc to get the "actor" to Speak, just like in a Wax Museum.

 Here's Cath checking out Jacob's exhibit.

Here's the whole set up, there must have been 50+ stands.

Afterward Cath headed to the hairdresser. Kaylee and I went for a drive and killed an hour. On the way home we did our weekend shopping. Back at camp it's time to relax. Laundry tomorrow...OH BOY! 

Winter Excursion 4, Day 119

As usual it rained last night and this morning.
We took a short trip to Camping World for a few camper supplies. The gaskets in the drain hoses needed replacing.
Spent the afternoon munching some JJ subs and playing cards.
Cath was all excited because we scored some lamb chops yesterday at Costco. She made a nice marinade and we grilled them!
Another DVD night then off to bed.
Weather is supposed to be nice through the weekend (although cold), but I'll believe that when I see it, we are thinking about buying waders......LOL!

Winter Excursion 4, Day 118

We ran a few errands this morning. Cecilia took us to Costco for a few items. Afterward we all went to lunch a Moe's BBQ.
We picked up a new DVD player as the one that came with the camper is junk and we were tired of messing with it. The new one works great. I will redo the sound system when we get home. I want to put in a regular receiver and get rid of the IRV2 stuff.
The weather was perfect today and we spent the late afternoon outside people watching. We watched the Downton Abbey movie and then went to bed.
The weather forecast changed and we can expect rain tomorrow...what else is new!

Winter Excursion 4, Day 117

Camper Bound Again!
The rain started last night and looks like it will last all day. The good news is after today there is no rain on the forecast for a week!
A few snacks, some cards, and a few shows. It was a very lazy day!

Winter Excursion 4, Day 116

Cecilia and Ferdie had the pop-up ready to roll by 1200. We all said our goodbyes and then it was quiet!
Cath and I watched a few shows and just relaxed. Those Kiddos will wear you out!
We have plenty of leftovers for our next few dinners and plenty of DVDs to watch.
A few more shows then off to bed. As usual rain is in the forecast for tonight and all day tomorrow.

Winter Excursion 4, Day 115

Cath woke me up at 0430 this morning complaining about being cold. I rolled over and checked the thermometer. It was 26 outside and 51 in the camper! Propane had run out so I went outside and switched the tanks over. Jacob never woke up, he was snug as a bug under the "52 pound blanket".
Once again the sun was out for a change and the temps warmed to the low 60s. It felt great in the sun!
Cecilia, Ferdie and the kids went hiking. Cath and I hung out at camp.

After the hike we all had a quick lunch at their campsite.

Another nice dinner, the kids went to bed, and we stayed up late again!

It's been a fun weekend!
