What a busy weekend!  Since the weather was warmer then normal, we decided to pick up the grandchildren after school on Friday and have them spend some time with us.  The campground filled and we even had an old 1978 VW Popup  pull into the site not too far from us.  Paul was talking to the young couple.  They boasted that it still had the original engine.  It looked great, I'm sure there has been body work performed on it!

It was a wonderful weekend of building memories and having fun together. Enjoying wildlife and nature.

These deer are about 10 feet from the back of our rig.

No only did we spot the deer close to our camp site, but we took a hike and spotted two bucks in the herd.  The bucks don't seem to travel with the does when they come through camp so it was a great find to finally spot them.

While having lunch outside at the picnic table in our camp site, we had a hawk swoop down not 50 feet from us.  It was after a squirrel.  Never seen a hawk go after a squirrel before!  The squirrel managed to stay away by climbing up the truck of the tree and circling around the back.  The hawk did a small semi-circle and gave up, flying off to better hunting grounds.

Look closely, you can see the squirrel escaping from the hawk.

We did some crafts, sewing and stuffing a teddie bear and painting race cars. It is always a delight to share time and do things with children, It is so much fun spending time with them, answering their questions and picking their brains about what they've learned in school.  They have given me some very wonderful memories.  We talked about Charlie being Grandma Ann's teddie bear and how Charlie is going to travel with me.  Emily in asll her wisdom, gave me a hug and said "You're never to old for a stuff animal!"  How right she is!

My son and his wife came for the kids and decided to stay for a few hours. The campground was full and there were many campfires all around us.  He built a huge campfire that sent off enough heat so no one was chilled when the sun went down.  We roasted marshmallows, which the kids really enjoyed, Paul even tried one, but as I suspected, it was too sweet for his liking!

Today was a busy day as we have been the only Camp Host here for the last week.  We cleaned 32 campsites, emptying fire-pits, raking the sites, checking the water and electric. This week is bringing colder weather and snow.  It's time for us to pull up stakes and move South and then West, probably on Tuesday morning. Just in case, Paul hooked up the generator to the rig, and it all worked fine so, we're ready for the next stage in our adventure.

Thanks for stopping by.
