A Visit to Grammy & Papa's Campsite

We snuck over to Waycross last night for a quick visit at Grammy and Papa's weekend campsite over at Laura Walker State Park. Mary and Stan sr. had sweetly fixed us a delicious dinner of BBQ chicken, corn on the cob and salad, and we had a great time joining them for the evening. They have a pop up camper and the kids thought that was just about the coolest thing they'd ever seen. Olivia seemed to really appreciate the air conditioner inside the camper! Who could blame her? It was a muggy evening. We had a time trying to keep Olivia and Benjamin from opening and closing the camper door every two seconds. We hope Grammy and Papa didn't eat flies all night long because of that! :) Olivia and Benjamin have loved playing with Bear, the new puppy. Mary said the vet told her he's probably part lab, part Rotweiller, but he really seems to have such a sweet disposition. They're working hard to train him, but he is definitely still a goofy little puppy at times. Eventually it cooled down and we had a nice little breeze. Grammy and Papa and their new puppy Bear took us on a walk to one of the fun play ground areas there, and we walked down to see the lake. There were lots of people there boating, skiing, jetskiing and picnicing lake-side. We came back to their campsite and I roasted marshmallows. I managed to torch only two of them. :) It was really nice for Mary and Stan to invite us over to get a little taste of camp life. So here's a slide show with some of the pictures we took while there. I love the one with Benjamin up on the yellow piece of play equipment and they're both smiling to beat the band. One other picture that I think is hysterical is the one that Olivia took of us four adults sitting on the picnic table. Stan jr and I are like book ends to my sweet in-laws and Stan sr. is cutting his eyes over at me like I just goosed him or something! :) I promise I didn't! :) It was a fun day, and after a quick bath and books, and prayer, they were zonked in just seconds! Fun times!
