Labor Day Camping

We braved camping again - went to Leroy's Boss's property in Ocean Shores with his boss and office mate. It was supposed to be gross and rainy the whole weekend - but we had a BEAUTIFUL sunny weekend! I thought I forgot the camera but found it the last day so not too many pictures, but some good moments.

Erica wanted to go on a horseback ride. But the owner was concerned that 1.Erica doesn't have a lot of padding on her derriere 2. She wasn't strong enough to control the horse confidently. 3. She wouldn't be able to hear the guide to know what to do (she is having hearing issues right now) and 4. She wasn't gonna be able to ride with me so she would be alone. He didn't want Erica to hate horses when it was over! She was really disappointed -so instead we paid half the price and...
had a BLAST!!! It was much more fun to do it together and be able to laugh and scream at the top of our lungs as we buzzed down the beach. Oh that was FUN!The kids had a great time with Mr Steve, Miss Connie, Mr Roger and Miss Gretchen - they were doted on really. Thank you to the grown ups for loving on our kids - they really came alive. We had scary stories around the fire (kid-sized and kid-created) and copious rounds of "Oh you cant get to heaven..." that got very repetitive.
Mr Roger said "you guys eat well camping!" 0 yeah! I don't know why that is important to me - but we had steak and shrimp on the barbie the last night. YUM!!! I forgot to take pictures till it was almost over, so here is the last lone shrimp on the barbie!
