Camp Mamapoppywowow!
Maddie’s friends have been following her camp adventures and Maggie has affectionately tagged this camp mamapoppywowow! It has been a wow week too! So much so that I have had a really hard time keeping up with this diary of events.
Yesterday Grampy came down to join us (YAY!!!) so Papa, Stockton and Rob went to the airport and Lowe’s for misc t.v. cable shopping on the pick-up trip. While they were gone the girls hung out at the pool and Kaley, Mamie and Avalon went to the grocery AGAIN!! Seriously, we need frequent shopper benefits to Publix! On this trip our focus was entertaining food because we had invited Aunt Lucy, Uncle Jim, Jamie and her friend, Dan to join us for a poolside cookout. We decided our menu would be burgers, brats, and hot dogs; tomato/cuc/ onion salad; sweet potato fries, and brownies. Mmmmmmmm. Our only concern was the 4:30 cloud cover and threatening skies.
Avalon and her Mom and Dad went on a long walk to Strawberry Corner at the same time that Mamie and Papa took the little boat for fuel and bait. As soon as we were all on our way, it began to rain…DOWNPOUR rain! Avalon thought it was great as she splashed in the puddles all the way home, but Mamie was not as amused in the little boat returning from Fish Tale. Thank God for moisture wicking fabric!
Courtney, Stockton and Maddie were on their own adventure to Walmart for scrap booking materials. They stayed dry (smarty pants!). Today marked the first day that poor Courtney did not suffer from morning sickness so we are holding our breath that it will hold.
At any rate, the storms passed quickly and we were able to dine poolside as planned and had a great time with family and friends. Since he guys have plans to head out early a.m. for back bay fishing our evening activities wound down quickly and everyone retired after another big day.
Looking forward to another day of hard work tomorrrow:
