Independance Day


This year, for Fourth of July weekend, we camped with friends here. Well, technically since we were in a camper it was camping, but Sandy Pines really isn't camping in the true sense of the word. For me, it isn't about the camping part of the weekend - it's about seeing some really good friends.

The kids had a great time, too.
They loved sleeping in Grandma and Grandpa's A-Liner,
(it's like a sleepover for the whole family)


spending time with friends,


fishing,


toodling around in our super-cool ride,


catching fireflies,


blowing lots of bubbles,


and spending time at the beach and the pool.


There were some sad moments when the kids realized they were two inches
too short to try the the ropes course,


but fireworks made everything better.


Is it possible to be grouchy while watching fireworks?
I don't think so.
However, my daughter did fall asleep.
I guess all that fun caught up with her...

  1. I remember those golf carts from your time there last year!

    We love the look of those A-Liners, do Grandma and Grandpa love theirs?

    What a fabulous looking long week-end.
