The Family Arrived

We awoke to another beautiful morning.  So happy the rest of the kids will join us today.  Steven and Saira went for a long bike ride and then went up to Grant’s Grove Village for a shower and to get supplies like ice, etc.  Deb and Sam with kids rolled in before 2pm and we relaxed a bit with a cold drink before they set up.  The decided to turn their tent trailer around to have the opening where it was more convenient, when suddenly the trailer started to drift down the slope.  Woo Hoo… it was saved easily enough but got the adrenaline pumping for sure!  As Sam said, “We had it under control.  We’re men, even if we don’t have it under control, we have it under control.”  Hahahaha…  Jeff and Miranda arrived about 6:30.  The rest of the day was mostly spent in archery lessons for everyone.  Steven brought his bow and arrows and even Miranda gave it a go with her daddy’s help.  Deb and Sam grilled burgers for dinner and we enjoyed the campfire with S’mores for those who wanted them.  John and I were tired and went to bed shortly after Miranda and Julie,  close to 11pm.  Most of the others talked until about midnight.  A great day, especially to me such a blessing… because I cannot recall a time the kids were camping together and having such a good time.
