days 3 and 4

When I got up yesterday morning, I was amused. When the little family was here the other night, the little imp and his brother in law went to the store for snacks (after a big dinner). They brought home cookies. When they left, we had two sitting on the table. When I got up…

Hmmm. At leas he was honest about where it went. He just smiled and pointed to his tummy.

The original plan was that they didn’t have spaces available in this park on the weekend because of a big car show so we were going to move to Astoria Friday. That wasn’t a bad plan other than using a lot more gas (it’s about half an hour from here, maybe). But right after we’d finished eating, the park manager came over and told us they did have a cancellation and we could stay, we’d just have to move to another space today. She no sooner had come to tell us and rvs and trailers started pulling in on both sides of us and all around.

One of the newcomers was not a happy camper, to say the very least. She was mad about how they were expected to park their trailer holding their car, she was mad about the space, she was mad about all kinds of things. Evidently, the other park manager had said, “You’re going to move that trailer, aren’t you?” because of the way they had it…she said, “Yes. And *you* will find us somewhere to park it!” Wow. These park managers are awesome and go out of their way to make sure everything is fine.

But, I digress. As all this craziness was going on all around us, the manager came over and asked us if we’d mind moving then instead of waiting until today. Gladly. It’s funny how what had been so relaxing and peaceful suddenly had become uncomfortable because we’re right in the middle of a party. The manager also told the unhappy camper that they could not move their rig one more time since they’d been in 3 spots already.

Before we could take our new spot, we had to go get propane a block and a half down the street. It’s so amazing that to move a few feet or go home, you have to prep everything the same way or the first bump and everything scatters. Once again, Dad had help driving there.

He did NOT like the sound of however they pump in the propane so we took pictures.

That’s bamboo. It entertained him for about 3 min. and that’s all we needed.

We got a great new site.

(note the driver)

We actually have a little more room. The people on the other side of us told us to move towards them about 8 feet because they didn’t need the room. We don’t feel like we’re in a full park at all.

We drove to Seaside in the afternoon. Here are a few pics from our day.

Because of the car show, beauties like these are all over the area.

We can’t pass the carousel.

For some reason, he thinks he is not supposed to smile. (this is thanks to big brother!)

Puppet show in the toy store.

Homemade ice cream at the ice cream shop.

And yes, I started a little bit of knitting.

Today was a nothing day for me. I didn’t fall asleep until about 5. It was the 2nd bad night this week so I haven’t done much at all today. I did get a good nap in and then decided to get productive.

I brought this project with me. I never have found the first doll I made for Sweet Pea. I was making a 2nd one but had the grand idea to add arms. Well, that was fine but then I had to add length to it because it wasn’t easy to get ahold of. I thought I’d add on a skirt and then figure out what to do with the underside but I wasn’t liking it so here it has sat for a week or so.

I had finally gotten the bug to figure out how to finish the doll when hubby came back from downtown with a treat for me. They make the best elephant ears here! I don’t think I’m going to be able to eat dinner tonight but it sure was good!
