On our way home

We made the same trip back home, stopping at Gettysburg and then Wapakoneta. I don't have any pictures of our quick stay at Gettysburg (weird, I know) but we had a nice site and the weather was nice and it all worked out just fine. Because we had a shorter drive from Ohio to our home, we were able to have some time to play before we packed up camp, which gave time for the camping stuff the dry out before packing it all up.

One of his favorite things to do!

Camdilyn (and all the kids) really enjoyed this water river hole

on the putt-putt course. It was neat.

A new little friend

We pulled into our campsite and started to get stuff out when one of the kids spotted this little creature. Of course, we had to examine it and take a picture... and then Kevin put it in a tree and we went back to work. So many amazing creatures to enjoy because our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ created them for us to do just that. The grass, streams, fish, birds, night sky, clouds, and everything else was made for us to enjoy. I'm glad we can take a moment to do just that.

Camping our way to Massachusetts

We are actually on our way to Massachusetts but decided to stop off to visit the Air Force Museum so we are staying at a resort just north of Dayton. As we went to bed last night, the rain came. Our plan was to leave in the morning and drive to Gettysburg, and then spend Wednesday touring the sites. Kevin and I looked at the forecast and the rain we were just now getting was heading east, so we would run into the rain in Gettysburg. We decided to stay in Ohio and just drive to Gettysburg on Wednesday, and then push on to Massachusetts on Thursday, without seeing any sites.

Capturing breakfast - which I always seem to leave out.

Kevin cooks the sausage over the fire.

While I cook the cinnamon sticks over the stove.

After breakfast, everyone heads off the play.

This was a great resort with lots to do.

Including an amazing 18 hole mini-golf course!

And a fantastic indoor pool - 

with two hot tubs...

and a kiddie pool.

Kevin had some work to catch up on.

The older guys had some school to do,

since their Delta College classes started.

Found a huge praying mantis!

And a really big, fuzzy caterpillar.

Eventually a couple kids got fishing poles out and had some fun.

Naomi has some banged up knees.

Reminded me of a river back on an island - 

when I only had 5 kids.

Kevin played some putt-putt with some of the kids.

While the other kids had fun playing on the playground.

Found a smaller caterpillar.

Getting ready for dinner!

But I realized I forgot the A1 sauce.

So dinner was put on hold

while Kevin drove to Walmart to pick some up.

Now we're cookin'! 

Hamburgers with A1 sauce!

Yummy!

It was a fun filled, relaxing day spent together as a family. Sure hope the rain has moved on when we get out east.
