Our Tradition!

We always go away to Chincoteague for an extended weekend over Columbus Day and this year was no exception. The girls are always off from school on Friday so we try to get out on Thursday night. Kay had a game and we didnt end up leaving til almost 10pm.....we pulled into the campground about 130am...ugghh.. Still, I would rather get there late than have to drive in the morning and lose 1/2 a day!! The weather was Unbelievable all weekend!! We couldnt have asked for a more perfect few days. Sunny, warm, breezy...... We went to the pool, took a long walk near the bay, hit the beach, bowled, ate way too much, campfired, roasted marshmallows, drove around the campground on the golfcart, slept late and just enjoyed each other!! I even made $11.50 at Mom's yardsale! Go figure! There is nothing like fall camping to get you thru til Spring. We may make one last trip in early November....let's hope for a late snow!!< Joce was the only crazy kid that got in the ocean "all the way"! Marshall 'preparing' The BIG CATCH!! We finally saw a horsey on the wildlife loop!! Kay ate thru the entire box of poptarts looking for the "alligator"!! The boys in the packnplay under all of our linens!!

Looks like a great weekend. I think its so cool that you have a place like that to get away to and create memories each year. That is something about being in the military that is really tough...its hard to create any traditions that revolve around going to the same place each year.

Glad to see you blogging. Hope to see you sometime this fall in NJ...at least at the retreat!
