This past weekend was our annual family reunion/camp-out.  I was gone from Thursday morning until this afternoon.  I drove & pulled my travel trailer the three hour trip to the campground by myself but, I did follow ds-Jim in case of any trouble.  Also he pulled my unit onto the lot and he drove it to the dump station because I have trouble lining everything up. 


We had a great turnout.  There were 45 people camping, which included three of my aunts, my brother and his wife, one nephew and his family, my cousins with their spouses & kids and also the kids spouses & children.  On Saturday we had two more relatives stop by for the pot luck lunch. 


Some of us camped from Thursday until today, some came on Friday, and some left on Sunday.  It's always a wonderful opportunity for me to visit with family members that I don't see any other time of the year.  We didn't have any new babies this year, but we did have two new campers and one new puppy.  Next year we will have a new baby too.


I have now finished emptying the trailer and the truck and most things are back into their proper places.  I have a load of clothes in the washing maching and am about to sit down and watch some of the Olympic shows that I have on DVR.


All in all, this was a great weekend but, I have to get myself into the mindset to head back to work tomorrow.  I haven't had time to read anything on the board yet, but I hope all is well with everyone.


Take care,

Kaci,


Welcome home. It all sounded so fun. I give you much credit for driving your own camper. I admit I would never be able to ever do that. I think it would be so fun to camp with all my children and their children. We used to camp all the time when our girls were little and really loved it. We had a 17 foot self contained Shasta. I didn't even think they made them anymore, but we saw a couple
