Winter Excursion 10, Day 45

We let the Kid's house around 0730 and headed back to camp.
After showers and some breakfast we left camp for Wesley's basketball game in Summerville. The boys did good with another nail biter and won the game in the last 2 minutes after trailing the entire time! That makes the team 3 and 0!
Brian had to work today, but Nicole and the Kiddos came over to camp after the game. We sat outside as the weather is perfect. We made "smash burgers" on the flat top with all the trimmings. They left around 1800.
Cath and I cleaned up a little, but hit the sack early. It's been a whirlwind weekend.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 45

We did a little camp maintenance this morning and then headed over to the Kid's. Wesley has another basketball game this evening.
We enjoyed some Migi's Pizza before the game then headed over to the school.
The boys won again. This was a really close game. The score went back and forth, but was never more than a 5 point difference. They won by 2 points!
Back at the Kid's house we watched the first two episodes of a Taylor Swift documentary. Kennedy and Nicole are huge Swifties! 
We ended up spending the night. It's been a fun day.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 44

Cath spent the morning baking her Christmas cookies. She has 5 of 10 batches completed.
I spent the day "supervising" the garage door installers. Not really, but they were both vets and we yakked it up quite a bit.
We got some good news today. Our new oven for the camper arrived. I hope to get it installed in the next few days.
Back at camp we buttoned down the hatches. More cold weather is forecast, even into the 20s this weekend! I'll trade these temps for what's going on back home. Looks like Lake Effect Snow is forecast for the next six or seven days.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 43

We drove back to the Kid's house this morning and arrived around 1130 after a 90 minute trip! It normally takes about 20 minutes. Traffic was terrible as there had been freezing fog this morning causing black ice on the I-526 bridge. There were multiple accidents which caused traffic backups into the afternoon.
We spent the afternoon doing laundry and cleaning up the garage. The Kids are getting new garage doors tomorrow.
In the evening we went to Wesley's first basketball game that was not a practice. The team crushed it, beating their opponent 51 -14.
After the game we went to SeeWee for our annual "fry fix". The seafood was good as usual.
Back at the Kid's house we spent the night.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 42

We did laundry at the Kid's house this afternoon.
In the evening we attended Kennedy's Winter Orchestra Concert. All the Kiddos did really well.


This will be her last year in the Middle School Orchestra, hopefully she continues in High School.
Back at camp we are looking at temps in the 20s tonight! It is forecast to warm back up tomorrow.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 41

It was a nice day off!
We hung out at the camper all day. Played a little cribbage, did a few chores, but just relaxed for the most part.
The weather has tuned cold. Temps in the high 40s and into the 30s at night. Our new camper goes through propane like it's water. We think it's due to not only the heater, but the on-demand water heater also. When it's cold outside we go through a 30 pounder in for or five days!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 40

No breakfast sandwiches this morning. Instead We just had eggs, sausage, and hash browns thanks to me!
We spent the morning cleaning up the camper and putting stuff away. We left camp around 1130 and headed to the Kid's house. Wesley wanted to be back home before the Bills game starts.
Brian and I finished up the Holiday decorations. Here's a few pics I took after dark.


After dinner Cath and I headed back to camp. If's been a fun weekend, but we are taking the day off tomorrow.
