Notes:
Kristi and I both had Friday off. We were unsure if we wanted to leave on Thursday night or Friday morning. We eventually decided to get the trailer ready Thursday night and leave Friday morning. We got in between 10 and 11 am. We had our choice of spots in the campground since there were only a handful of other campers there. The sites we usually try to get were a little wet from the recent rain, so we found a dry site near by. This was the first time I have had to back the TT into a campsite. For never having done it before, I think it went pretty well. I had to male a couple corrections, but I was able to get the trailer where I wanted it without hitting anything.
The weather was beautiful Friday. We had nothing planned, so we basically just hung out at the camp site, took a walk or two, and took Lexi to the playground. It was a very relaxing day.
It rained for a brief period overnight Friday night. While you could still hear the rain, I am going to miss the sound of the rain on the tent ends with the pop up. On the other hand, not having to go out in the rain to go to the bathroom or put away wet canvas will make up for that.
Saturday's weather was not quite as nice. The wind had picked up and it stayed windy most of the day. I ended up putting the awning up early in the day. In the afternoon, we got a visit from one of our friends and her 10 month old daughter. Lexi really liked having a play mate there. A little later on, my parents, brother and grandparents came out. Our friend left before dinner time, and my family joined us for a Mother's Day dinner put on by the park. We then went back to the trailer for a campfire and s'mores.
On a side note, last year I learned a real cool way to make s'mores. In stead of fumbling with the graham crackers and chocolate bars, use fudge stripe cookies. It's all in one, and if you have a nice, hot marshmallow, the chocolate melts real nice.
Sunday was a busy day. We got up and went to church. After church, we joined Kristi's family for a Mother's Day brunch. The brunch started right around Lexi's nap time, so she was really tired by the time it was done. Since she was ready for a nap and I had to go get some stitches taken out (don't ask), we took Lexi home so she could get a good nap while I did my running around. I went to the doctor's and to Wal*Mart after, and was still home before Lexi woke up.
Once our little one was awake, we went back to camp, had dinner, cleaned up and got ready to go home. We were in no rush. It ended up being about 7 when we backed in the driveway. By the time we got everything unloaded, it was tie for me to go to my hockey game. (We tied 6-6.)
