Visiting Day
This morning Dave and I went grocery shopping for the BBQ we are having at the RV with Stephanie and her family.
When the girls got out of school, Kim drove everyone to the campground's entrance. We met them at the gate. On the way back to our campsite, would you believe there was a mommy and baby elk right at the road's edge. We pulled over and watched for a while and out from the woods comes this huge buck with several other female elk in tow. But, the other females mostly stayed at the wood's edge. The buck came all the way to the road's edge to join the mommy elk and baby. In a few minutes, he moseyed on back to the woods. The other two continued to eat along the road's edge for about 15 minutes. Of course, my luck, I didn't have either my camera or phone with me to take a picture as we were just going to the park entrance. But, the girls took pictures on their phones, so I am hoping that their dad will send the pictures to me so I can share them with you. It was soooooooo cool to see them that close.
Back at the RV, we snacked on veggies and played a wee bit of Canasta. The girls were quickly bored with that, and I felt bad that we didn't have a better "game" planned.
Stephanie loves horses and has done some training and competition. So, we shared with her the pictures I had on the computer that we had taken at the Wild Mustang ranch in South Dakota.
We then stoked up the fire for dinner. As you can see, Dave is providing some deeply intense instruction to the girls about cooking hot dogs--such a gourmet!
The hot dogs were yummy and then we fixed 'smores. Kimberly got them all set up to receive the marshmallows. The kids and Dave roasted the mallows. Those sure were yummy. I haven't had one since my kids were young.
Dave and I went to bed really early. I couldn't believe I was in bed at 8:30 PM. It was a wonderful day spending time getting re-acquainted with Kim, Stephanie, and Emily and getting to know baby Thomas.
Here's a picture of us with the family.
All best to all of you. We are heading to Albuquerque to see Dave's sister in a few days. Sleep tight!
