Camping Week 1 (Part II)

On Thursday the rest of the gang came up. We were short a few this year compared to the years before. This is our 9th year to have this annual fall camping trip. It is lots of fun, food, family & friends. Friday night we had hot dogs & chili. Big breakfast on Saturday morning which continued onto 4 lbs of grilled shrimp fix by Buddy. During the pumpkin carving it is a tradition for me to fix chocolate chip cookies. That continued onto supper which was steaks, chicken, green beans, corn, baked potatoes. It is one continuous day of eating. I didn't get as many pics as I would have liked on Saturday. Sunday we had another big breakfast. Then it was time for everyone to pack up and leave. John & Kristin played tag team as Shelby was just too little to bring and the weather was a bit too chilly for her to be outside. John came up and stayed Friday afternoon and left after Mitchell went to bed. Kristin came up Saturday morning and stayed until Sunday. Next year hopefully all of my kids and grandkids will get to be there. I will continue on with my next two weeks of camping at a later time.
