Back from Camp... Part II

Had to add a second post to include the swimming pool pictures and added a couple of other pictures from camp.

Back from Camp...

We got back from camp yesterday. Got a lot of pictures to share with you all.

The first night they had dancing lessons. These are pictures of Kalliegh (9) and Nick (8) learning to dance. Kalliegh told Nick, "I have never danced with a boy before". Nick responded, "I have never danced before!"

Also, Westley (15) and Carolyn (15) practiced and learned together.

And Bradley was just all over the place. First dancing with Lori Ann and then "Break Dancing" by himself.

And of course, anythime the pool was open we were there.

We all had a good time. And again Brad didn't want to go home.

The Take Over

This website has been taken over! I repeat this website has been taken over! The mischievous Mad Squirrel has taken over her father's blog! ::evil laugh:: Hey while the big freight dog is away the children will play! Or in my case the extremely bored, motherless, oldest child; who is nothing but pure goodness and never causes trouble. ::evil laugh::


Dad is away at family church camp in St. Clair, MO. He has no internet access and he is already hurting! He has my children with him and they are on "holiday", as my British friends would say. They are swimming, laughing, learning, having campfires, and getting bug bites. While I am sitting in a half way clean, and I mean deep clean, house.



How do you pack children for 7 days away at camp? Very carefully! I packed Bradley in two backpacks and Kalleigh in one small bag. Girl Scouts teaches me lot and lots of practical things. Like make sets for your children; bottoms, tops, and underwear and than roll them up and put a rubber band around them. That is how I pack my children in 3 bags. My oldest packed himself and ended up with a large suitcase and a large duffel bag. I claim not relation in that matter.

Kalleigh clothes rolled.

Kalleigh's clothes in the bag.

Kalleigh's Bag!

Since I have none of his current pictures I am going to share pictures of the camp when I was in high school and went there! There are also some pictures when I went back and was a counselor.



I'll be back tomorrow with more humor and laughter! You can always come visit me at Mad Squirrel's World or 365 Days of Madness.

Home Again....

Got home late last night.

Sorry for not blogging for a while but I either didn;t have access or very limited access to the internet the last week.

I am leaving for a week tomorrow to take 3 of the grandkids ( Westley, Kalleigh and Bradley) to a family church camp.

Put $165,00 worth of chemicals in the pool. And Westley and I worked on taking down some of the mound of dirt. We were doing okay until the rain started.

Will try and take some pictures at reunion (camp) and post if I can get some internet at the camp grounds.

Oscoda, Michigan

We brought a plane from Newark, NJ 2 days ago. We were scheduled to take another plane back to Newark, NJ today at noon local time. But, after getting packed and out to the airport and the airplane, the weather set in.

We need a 3 mile visibility and 1000 ft ceiling to depart Oscoda. Well we only had a visibility of 1 3/4 miles and a ceiling of 400 feet. Not quite what we are looking for. Plus forecast is for thunderstorms this afternoon.

So after spending a few hours sitting on the plane, they sent us back to the hotel to wait out the weather.

Looks like we will try this all over again later this afternoon or evening.

Plus they wanted me to continue the trip on to Leige, Belgium with another Captain and First Officer. Don't think that is going to happen now. We are limited by "duty time" the number of hours that we can be on duty, not necessarily flying time.

Anchorage

Got into Anchorage last night.

I will be departing for Columbus, Ohio at 11:30 am local time. Then from Columbus to JFK.
