We're Baaaaack!
>> Friday, May 9, 2008
Just ended our week with Aunt Nancy and Uncle Mark and their dog, Clovis, at Chickasaw State Park.
The kids and I had a cabin (courtesy of Uncle Mark - woohoo!!!), and they stayed in their pop-up camper at the campgrounds. The park is beautiful, and there was plenty to see and do. It was also peaceful and restful and quiet. The 'off' season is a great time to visit!
The weather was perfect - even the one day that it lightly rained off and on wasn't bad. One day, Aunt Arlene, Aunt Patsy, and Uncle David showed up for a visit and picnic - style lunch.
We walked and walked and walked - great exercise that you can enjoy : ) . We worked puzzles (it runs in our family), and we played with fire. We took a couple of little side trips into neighboring towns: Henderson, Bolivar, Jackson.
We finished four jigsaw puzzles.
Boy, did we walk.


This guy and one of his friends would show up in the mornings and stand at the front door until we fed them something.
The kids were not amused that this was ever a possibility:
I was not amused by this reality:
(I promise you it was trying to follow us across the lake. . . )
Camp TV.

Exercise.

Exercise.
It's always good to be home, but there is that mountain of laundry to do. Hope to be 'all caught up' in the morning and be able to catch up with bloggy world!
