Toby Camping with the Girls, Day 3

A Day of Kayaking and Floating!

Day 3  Full of relaxing, kayaking, floating, stained glass (Charlie Ann), reading and basically staying cool.  It reached 90+ with high humidity!  But, when you are at the lake....who cares...it's perfect!
The day started out slow, with coffee, yogurt and planning.  Everyone pretty much did what ever they wanted!  How wonderful! 
Gracie came out in the afternoon and brought a new tube, so everyone had something to float in:) 
Peppermint Patty's highlights:  Soaking up the sun....relaxing...
Charlie Ann's highlights:  Stain glass making, with a wonderful backdrop (the lake)
Snooker's Highlights:  Chucked her way through her book...floating...relaxing
Judy's Highlights:  Floating...Floating...Floating...Taking pictures, pictures and more pictures

Sam and Megan joined us at 5:30 for more floating.  Sam even got out the fishing pole...
Supper was great!  Hamburgers, chips, beans, stuffed mushrooms (thanks Sam and Megan) vegetable salad (Charlie Ann's specialty). melon and whatever else we could find in the frig.....
The evening ended with a trip into Fairmont for showers (after all, 3 days is about the max) and coming back for a great night sleep.

Tomorrow, (or today) the girls packed up the camper early (while it was still cool) and will be another morning of relaxing. Okay, Sharla just informed me that they were going to take off for home...
But before I'm done...Snookers kept track of "Things we learned on the camping trip" 
1.  Coffee Creamer container - take off the paper and use it for almonds.
2.  T-shirt:  Cut down the middle and use it as a light jacket.
3.  Use a bar of white soap to get stains out of white clothing
4.  Use a dish drainer for a lid organizer
5.  There is only one rule when camping!  But... It's always rule #1 (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4....) (according to Jukebox)
6.  Snookers learned to swipe
7.  Use shot glasses for individual relish holders ....also party favors....

I knew we invited Sam for a reason!

Toby Camping With the Girls, Day 2!

Hi everyone,  Today is certainly a bad hair day!  The winds are gusting and we decided to go on a shopping extravaganza today, since it would be a bit difficult to stay afloat!

 So, here we go!  We hit them all, every thrift shop, consignment shop and even some pretty cool "real" shops!  We had a nice day.
After the first shop, it was almost noon, so we decided to pick a place to eat.  The last time we were here there was a nice greek restaurant that had great Gyros.  Well, much to our dismay, they were closed (I think due to an air conditioning problem) so we took off in hopes of another spot.  We came upon this, and without much thought, took a quick right and landed here!  Well, it didn't have much curb appeal, but we were hungry and was counting on good food.  As you can see, they shopped at the local thrift stores too, but I think we could have done better decorating. Yep, we got it! Great Gyros!

Could use a little updating!

 Okay, from there, we hit the shops and one garage sale and headed for home (around 5:00) Once at home we had a great supper of new potatoes (dug out the garden) fresh beets, and brats.  In the evening we played dice.  I think we all won at least one game and I think these pics will explain the rest!
