Camping with the Grands

Are we leaving yet?


funny face


my sore lip



we are ready to roll
my sandbox

exercise those bodies





get that tent up for the snoring man of the party






I am ready for bed





hiking in back of the motorhome













THE PUMP!!!








relaxing with a good Harry Potter book








taking a nap with Nana


going home oh, so ,sad...

Now I remember so clearly why no one comes to visit in the summer if you live in Pueblo. HOT does not even describe it. As we drove down, the temperature rose and rose. We opened all the windows evenif it was a little noisy while driving to the resivoir. Very few trees lots of weeds, but Mary was sure that all that dirt was her private sandbox. Even this am when we were packing up to leave, she wanted to go out to her sandbox. Well it is WINDY in Pueblo. I forgot how windy it could get. The awning is now history, it blew off in a microburst. Misery loves company. Anyone who had their awning out lost theirs too. Scared me when it flipped over the motorhome. Glad Chris was here to help Jim take it down and to the trash. It was a sad moment. Awnings are lifesavers in hot sun. Thank goodness the air conditioner worked wonders. We were able to survive. no more camping in hot places...It was fun and relaxing but just too darn hot to move around during the day, EXCEPT for the water pump across from the space. I swear we need water pumps in our backyards. The children played and played in the water. It was downright cold, but those children didn't even notice.

Looks like all had fun, especially if there is a water pump and a sand box! The children reported they had a great time.
