My summer vacation!

The week after VBS Mary, Greg & I stayed at the campground to just relax! The Wykes Reunion was going to be held there this year the following weekend, so we stayed and camped for the 4 days in between. It was really quiet and calming. On Thursday Larry's sister pulled her camper in and by Friday July 25th there were 8 campers on our group lot. It was the first time that the Reunion was camping, we had a huge fire pit and cooked most of our meals together. On Saturday Jeff Cox (nephew in-law) cooked breakfast burritos for the whole group,
and Saturday night he cooked steaks (everyone brought their own)! Saturday afternoon we tie-dyed T-shirts to wear to the dinner on Sunday, so everyone knew who camped for the weekend.
We tie-dyed 34 shirts. Then the kids did a scavenger hunt, they had to go to other campers and ask for the things on the list. There was also a fishing contest, the longest fish won a new rod and reel. There were 36 of us camping. Next year hopefully there will be more.

Camping sounds like a great way to be together without a lot of pressure on one person hosting the event. Good job.
