Camp MPW day 2 & 3
Hello Mudduh, Hello Faddah, we are still at…Camp MPW! Seriously having a great time just doing the vacation thing! The weather has been absolutely glorious with an occasional cloud, intermittent rain and a daily rainbow to remind us of God’s grace. Both day one and two of camp began with some crazy exercise, some lead by “Insane” Rob/Shaun T and Mamie/Papa run to church (gotta work off beer and snacks somehow:). We have spent 99% of our days basking in the sun by the pool, which we seem to be sharing with 4-6 rather “friendly guys” (if you know what I mean) and basically no one else. It has been heavenly.
On Day One we broke out the official camp Corn Hole game poolside where the Coors Light team beat the Michelob Ultras after a hair-raising challenge (Indy racing couldn’t come close to attracting our attention away from this competition!). Maddie is training for tailgate season with supervision from the pros!!!!
We were graciously gifted a huge bouquet of fruit from GG and Grampy to celebrate our time here. It couldn’t have been a more appropriate treat! After a home cooked, gourmet meal of chicken and veggies it made the perfect centerpiece and dessert at the same time! Mmmmmmmmmmm…Punkin was in fruit heaven!!!!
Day two was a little busier for the guys as they tackled the challenge of “hunting” the perfect flat screen tv for the new unit. This required not only disassembling the old unit, moving it out of the condo, down the elevator and into a truck, but also deciding what cable/network/thing-a-ma-jobbies they needed to set up a new tv to work. (I personally like an “on” and “off” switch with maybe three channels….ABC, CBS, and NBC. I am more than basic cable:)
After a lively discussion at lunch about historical family discipline principles (spanking, mouth soap, wooden spoons, etc..) the guys went on their hunt (three of them mind you) for 4 1/2 hours to make “the kill” to bring home a new TV. I don’t know the specifics, but it is presently in a box in the middle of the living room waiting to be unleashed at the proper moment. (No doubt that will take the majority of day 3). Men!
Dinner tonight was at Charlie Brown’s, one of Avalon’s favorite joints where she chows on salad bar while watching her daddy’s Ipad featuring Baby Einstein videos. How did we ever survive 20+ years ago…oh that’s right, spanking, mouth soap and wooden spoons! Haha!!!
Wait til I get my hottie hubby in the back of the van!
All is quiet now as Avalon is asleep after cuddling and reading “Baby Dear” while the rest of the gang is out at the theater viewing Hangover 2. No doubt tomorrow will be filled with never ending quotes from the film!
Another day of camp down and I am finding that it is going too fast already. Love my family more than I can believe! Ahhhhh.
