We're Home

 It was a memorable trip. I was sick. I simply didn't feel like crawling out of bed. Mike took the kids fishing and to the zoo while I slept. They enjoyed two wonderful campfires while I hacked and slept. Stacia was feeling terrible last night, seemed good today and is bad again tonight.  Hopefully, by the end of this week, we'll all kick this congestion, sinus, cough thing.....I think I'm on the mend.

The boys took the camera one a.m. to take photos that sparked their imagination. Jamin often does this to use the photos as he describes settings for his writing...he must have something in mind.....these are just a few...



They were stopped by the park ranger shortly after this and told that no bows are allowed anywhere in the state park. Egads - thankfully, he didn't see the ax photo.::snort::

Later that night Mike and the kids were playing freeze tag up at the castle...up and down the steps, jumpnig here and there...a rousing game of freeze tag. Stacia and I went up to watch...just in time to glimpse Jamin stuck on the roof. He was about to jump off when the same Park Ranger told him to stay put until he brought a ladder. I hid until the man was gone. ::snort:: I was a tad bit embarassed that my well-mannered young men had been chided twice in the same day by the same ranger.

Photos from the zoo.....
The elephants are gone, and there is a new rhino???

They took a bunch of snake photos - which I will NOT post.
This little monkey....

Took quite a liking to Jamin. ::snort::


Hmmm...the older two young men are apparently too old to pose for the traditonal zoo shot...LOL

Morning Walk


The caboose is unpacked and cleaned. It's back at the RV lot. The laundry is running. All have been fed. Mike is restoring a computer that crashed. I've checked our United order and made a couple of adjustments. Stacia is fussy...time for more ear drops. Jamin ended up going into work....back to life.
