We began to wonder if it was even going to happen!  For once, we had planned ahead and had park reservations in August…we made them a year ago!  We had no idea we’d be welcoming the little sweet pea into the world on the very week we planned to be away! I think it was a fair trade, though….much more fun.  :)  We finally found another week we could carve some time out to get away.  Hubby actually took off two weeks but everything was going wonky with the worship team and everyone else’s vacations.  We were almost going to have to be there this coming week but we managed to work it out so we could get away.  Sad to say, we have to physically leave to get away from what’s normal for us.  We weren’t going to do the RV this time but that worked out, too…so here we are.  Away!

I haven’t been here for almost a week.  Last week we celebrated the new mama’s birthday.  This is the best picture I managed to get.

Notice who snuck into the picture! 

We had Baskin Robbins ice cream cake, it was so good!

Earlier in the day, the little sweet pea and the birthday girl and daddy came to see me.  Daddy thought she’d look pretty in pearls so he put some on her while I was holding her.  She didn’t like them too much…they were cold!

I made her a dolly…and promptly lost it.  How does that happen?  I took this picture, put it in my bag and that’s the last I saw of it!

It was just perfect for little fingers.  No problem…there’s another one in progress but this time with arms.

And then we left today.  All on his own, the little imp set himself up so he could drive with Dad…

You can’t see, but he has a foot pedal, too.  He did everything he saw his dad do and it kept him pretty busy.

We stopped for dinner because we’d spent the entire day loading up …and forgot to eat!  This was the view while we waited for dad to get dinner from McDonald’s.

And then when we got here…the little imp always helps his dad get everything working,

I was shocked at how many people were here this week.  We like the park, though, and we have street parking for vehicles. 

Tragic discovery, though….the tv in the bedroom got fried when the owners used the rv a few weeks ago.  Hubby thinks he knows what the problem is…not actually the tv but a fuse ….will take some investigating, though, to find out where it is, he’s got it narrowed down to 3 places. 

Yes, we camp in style….tv and internet.  We even brought the Wii so the imp and I can play MarioKart.  I finally found it at Walmart and spent my birthday giftcard from him on it.  He beats me every time. 

He’s somewhat ticked off at me tonight.  The park owner said hello to him when we got here and he buried his face on the seat.  He used to proudly walk up to people and offer his hand and introduce himself.  Now he refuses to answer so we worked on how we politely respond when someone talks to him.  It makes him mad.  oh wellllllllllllll.

edited to add:  I wrote this last night but right as I was going to post it, I lost my wireless connection.  Finally this morning I sat out on the picnic table and got the connection fixed.  My battery lasts long enough to go outside and reconnect.
