This weekend the Browns, Nikki, Justin, & Chloe joined us on your adventure. We rented our normal cabin and they rented the big cabin. The big cabin is very nice with a full kitchen, full shower, larger loft for sleeping. However the fire pit are faces another campsite and you are essentially face to face with other people who are enjoying their fire. The fire pit area of the cabin we rent continues to be far superior.
We worked half a day and then headed north, initially we weren't going to stop and get Chick-Fil-A, but we did, cause it's delicious. We arrived at the campground about 10 minutes after the Browns. I love the check in style, we roll up and the owners are standing outside, "Welcome back, keys on the table, we'll bill the card." from the deposit.
We decided to get Pizza the first night, at River's Edge Motel and Pizza....well now called River's Edge Motel and Restaurant. Since we had last been there the year before, many business expanded. River's Edge, the Chinese restaurant, the ice cream place expanded, and Lennie's Superette built a large new location across the street and down the road bit.
Justin and I headed out to buy wood, bug spray, charcoal and pick up the pizza. I had to explain to Justin how everything changed. The pizza, of course, was outstanding! We had a nice evening, went to the playground, threw rocks in the water, enjoyed the campfire. Much needed relaxation.
Saturday Kate and I got up early to enjoy the morning fire, once the Browns surfaced she made us all big breakfast. Once we got going we headed to the playground where the kids, and adults but mostly kids, enjoyed the apparatuses. We decided to head down to the beach and ended up spending many hours down there. At first I went and got the chair, and then Nikki & Justin went back to the campground and made sandwiches for lunch.
The kids had a wonderful time at the beach, made some friends, and spent a lot of time in the water. Wesley even got a leach on his foot, it was a small one and I took it right off. It didn't phase him a bit he just headed back into the water.
We left and went and got an ice cream at the shop and then headed back to the campground to clean up. Wesley had sand everywhere! Justin and I headed out to get more wood and to look at the knife shop. We ended up at Lennie's and bought a bunch of small bags of the new Lay's chip flavors for a sampling party.
Kate cooked up chicken and a grate cover we found for the firepit, it worked very well and the chicken was delicious! We spent a lot of time down at the water skipping rocks and throwing rocks. Wesley's favorite past time at the campground.
Justin also was giving Chloe a shoulder ride and Wesley and piggy back ride at the same time, I certainly wouldn't do that. The kids had fun with morning glories and sparklers, and burned me several times with them.
Wesley spent the night at the Brown's cabin, they had plenty of beds after all.
Sunday morning Kate made us all a big breakfast and then after we slowly tore down camp leaving right near the check out time. We had a round of skipping rocks first, of course.
We were a bit nervous that we oversold how awesome the campground was and that it wouldn't live up to the hype, however the Browns loved it, and we'll be going back again.
Next month we come back with the bigs for our week at the camper!
Until Next Time!
