Grandma Dee's Days: Camping

Wednesday was a great day with the kids although Ethan seemed a little under the weather.

I had forgotten to mention in my last post that we were suppose to go camping for the weekend

actually - Thursday to Sunday, so as soon as the kids went home Wednesday

Manny and I got into load up the bus mode.

We were on the road by 10:30 Thursday morning which is task for us,

mostly because of the never-ending phone calls which usually come in

on a morning we are trying to head out of Dodge.

Mark, Meagan, Ethan, and Abbey made it to the campground shortly after we did

so they helped us set up camp. We are staying at Disney's Ft Wilderness.
It's one of our favorite places and we have made so many memories here through the years.

Manuel, Darla, Hannah, and Sarah came just before dinner,

In fact - they provided our dinner for that night.

Manuel, Darla, and Sarah went home to sleep but Hannah got to spend the night in the bus

along with Mark, Meagan, Ethan, and Abbey.

This was Abbey's first time spending the night in the bus, and she did real well.

The portacrib fit unbelievably well in between two chairs we have inside the bus.

She was safe and comfy and she sleep all night!

We had a great time - being lazy, taking naps, going swimming,
riding around in the golf cart and just enjoying our time together.
And we had so much fun with the Grandkids!

There was Chalk Art

And amazing breakfasts (that I did not have to prepare)

Here's a classic picture (hahaha)

Friday night we cooked a Low Country Boil. It was D-elicious!

We even got to visit with my niece Angie (recovering from her recent surgery)

and her sweet husband Kevin.

Friday night, we watched the Water Pageant and Fireworks together and my niece caught this picture.
It's a little dark, I know, but it's a picture of my husband with both our sons and our grandson Ethan.
It will always be a special picture to me
