Where are we today ?
Today started off with pretty nice weather so we are thinking all will be good. I puttered around setting up some tables and chairs. Suzie set to work to make a couple of gluten free cheesecakes. Anticipating the arrival of Daughter number one, her husband and three grandchildren. This will be their first camping experience in a tent trailer, that they have on loan from a friendly neighbor.
Have to drive thru holiday weekend traffic about three hours they finally arrived here about 6 o'clock and we promptly got their trailer set up, kids all having fun.
Now over the years daughter number one has camped with us, in a tent in a rented cabin etc and never fails when they come it is gonna rain! They just got set up and it rained, and rained it poured down like crazy but at least they got their trailer set up.

Things quiet down kids in bed, relax around the fire for a bit more, then guess what? The rain began again! Oh well its dark and my bedtime anyway. We made it thru the first evening and everyone had fun.
Just want to thank y'all for stopping by.
Internet was now working last night with the storm I guess, so I am up early to get on line.

Rain or shine...nothing better than family time!
ReplyDeleteI think I missed something somewhere. What do you mean by holiday weekend traffic? What holiday?
Sorry this is a Canadian long weekend "Civic Holiday" 1st monday in August.
DeleteIn the past we had been rained out many times when camping. One time the rain was so bad my dad had to dig ditches around the tent to keep the water out. Eventually in the wee hours of the morning we just gave up. It adds to the experience though ... well, we'd just as soon be without those experiences. The weekend is young so here's hoping the rain has moved down the road and the fun is coming your way.
ReplyDeleteJust more experiences to add to the memory bank.
DeleteRest of the weekend looking good!
Hope Saturday will be dry in your area and in our area too! I sure do love s'mores! Bet the kiddies do too. Cute pictures of the kids playing in the rain...now that brings back pleasant childhood memories!
ReplyDeleteHave a super Saturday!
Great memories for sure.
DeleteOur family of 4 kids use to camp in a tent trailer. When it rained we strung tarps up as shelter and played in the mud :) Hoping you have better weather the rest of the weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat would be special memories too.
DeleteNothing like hamburgers, hot dogs and smores to keep the grandkids happy, rain or no rain.
ReplyDeleteNothing better than camping out with the Family...enjoy!
