Easter 2012 – A Beautiful Day

It’s been a while since I last posted. I think it’s about time to put something fun up on the web site. Here it is! Easter this year brought the whole bunch, excluding JoDee and Dad. We did the usual Easter egg hunt, both inside and out. We ate some lunch, played some games. We had great weather! A good time all around.

Week of July 5th at Council Grove

By now I guess you’ve figured out that we like the camping at Council Grove. This week was no exception. The bridge in the thumbnail picture is in the center of the northeast area of the lake. It must have been there a while, as there are no roads on either side of the lake.

Back to Kanopolis on May 27’th

We went back for another weekend in the sun, and wind. We had a great time again. This time we had Jerry, Jamie, their kids, as well as the Pontoon boat they brought. We spent some time cruising in the pontoon boat and hung out at a sandy beach on the other side of the lake.

4th of July!

We took the camper to the Brown’s mom and stepdad’s house at Beaver Lake and set up in the neighbor’s driveway. We had a great time swimming, boating, tubeing and visiting. We went on a journey about 20 minutes in the boat to see some fireworks on the 4th. Shot some BBguns and spent some time relaxing. Of cource the kids set off some fireworks of their own and nobody got hurt. A complete success!
