Back From Camping.


I'm not sure if you really call it camping when you are in such a nice motor home, but let's just stick with "camping". I went to Idaho Falls on Tuesday morning to Marie's house and we got in their new 24 ft. motor home and drove to Riverside Campground up in Island Park. Mark and Kathy were there with their trailer and Darla had a tent set up (they have sold their trailer). Don came up in the evenings. Grandma and Grandpa came up on Wednesday around noon until it was getting dark, then they went back down to Ashton and stayed in a motel. They went back up to Riverside this morning, but Marie and I left early afternoon. It wasn't a long time, but it was a fun time. Whenever I get with my sisters, we laugh a lot and get real silly. WE think we're funny even if no one else does. They are great women and I love them. It's always fun to have Mom and Dad around too. They are quite delightful. They are quite amazing, actually. And then the men keep us grounded. So thanks, Mark and Don. There were soooooo many mosquitoes, but we kept sprayed real good. We loved it when the wind came up, because then they went away. We were discussing where they went when the wind blew and I mentioned that they probably hang onto a tree, so then we really built on that, saying how they wrapped their stinger around a piece of bark to hand on and then we could picture their legs blowing straight out. Ok. You had to be there, but it was really funny. Here's a picture of our re-creation of what mosquitoes look like hanging on for dear life when the wind is blowing. Anyway, it was fun to get away and have a good time. We went for walks, read, laughed, played games, visited, laughed, watched a movie (Cinderalla Man), which was good, ate good food and took pictures, laughed, swatted mosquitoes and laughed.
