Kate - is your RV still available for me to sleep in or is Chalet Kate all full?
Sure is! It is just me, probably the puppy, and I don't know what the heck Steve is doing yet. There's lots of room! Heck, I could probably fit Corin in, too and still have about 4 open places to sleep!
I know the hubby has class all weekend, the camp is only 5 minutes away from the college. I was trying to see if my twin niece and nephew could come up so Aaron and Adam had someone to play with. I just don't know if my nephew has TBall that Saturay or not?
We called the campgrounds and reserved our spot today. They didn't require a deposit. Hmmmm . . . .
I was joking with Chuck tonight and telling him that it really would be cheaper if we stayed in a hotel. The only camping gear we have is a tent and portable grill. We are going to have to buy sleeping bags and lanterns and cookwear and the whole shabang! Look out Dick's - here I come! Really, for real, this is our very first campout ever - not including Chuck and Aaron sleeping in our backyard.
:pool:
Made my reservation today! I talked to Kim last night, and she quit her job, so now she says she will be coming-which will be great-I won't have to drive alone! I'm still not counting on it, she flakes out on me 90% of the time, but I'm hoping!
Kara-camping is so much fun! I love it. There is nothing like sitting by a camp fire at night!
Ha ha! I just reread my previous post and I see that it was "censored". Took me forever to figure out what store "censored" is. I guess it didn't like that slang word for the male genitalia that happens to be the name of a sporting goods store. Too funny!
We found someone to borrow 2 sleeping bags from. Hurray! That'll save some money.
You are all going to have such a great time! Think of me teaching while you are camping!
That is great Corin!! I didn't think they would actually require a deposit, like I said, it's a small personal place. As far as food, my camper has an oven and stove. I was thinking Saturday for dinner we could all have hotdogs and hamburgers, unless you all are doing something else. Kara, if you like tea, I can make you some in the morning!! Friday night we will have to roast some marshmellows and chit chat. there are plenty of chairs and stuff. Steve will be in and out, he is thinking of taking Friday off to spend with me. I am pretty excited about that. He has had off from the academy all week b/c of memorial day so he has a long weekend ahead of him!! I probably won't be able to egt on much this week b/c of my mom. I spend a lot of time there now. So if you guys need me, call me 412 414 7073! Can't wait to see you guys!!!
We're still trying to piece and part our camping expidition together. Chuck is the type to drag even the kitchen sink with him so this should be interesting. He's even thinking about bringing the coffee pot since we have electric. Ummmmm - NO CHUCK! What am I going to do with him.
This is going to be interesting!!!
The Saturday evening cookout sounds GREAT!
Aww! U guys are gonna have a ball camping!!
Kara I sure hope that he leaves the kitchen sink BUT remembers everything else! LOL I can not say much cuz my coffee pot would be first thing in also....oh wait it is already in the trailer! hehehe! I am as bad as Chuck.....I love pampered chef products....everything that is in my house is duplicated in the trailer! we go on a primitive canoe trip every year....last year we got caught watching the price is right.....ooppss! love the generator! LOL no one minded though when it came time to make margarita's......hmmmm....odd huh?!
You guys have a BALL! Think about all of us wishing we were there and take plenty of pics! Also BE CAREFUL!!

Looks like we're going to have a scorcher of a camping weekend. Mid to upper 80's and sunny! Remember the sunblock, bottled water and sunhats for the babes.
Is there a frig in your RV? We're trying to figure out how to keep eggs, milk and meat cold in near 90 degree heat.
Kara- You are too funny! Camping to me usually means no electricity, no fridge.... just a tent, a good cooler, lots of camp fires! This is going to be a luxury camping trip :)
I'm trying to figure out what I should bring with Makayla.... I have no idea what she is going to sleep in! I'm so excited. Only a few days to go!
You think I'm bad; Chuck is driving me bonkers with his list of things to take. He's got this written out list of meal plans. I told him that I always thought camping was hot dogs, baked beans, trail mix and smores eaten all the time. He wants pancakes, eggs, bacon, rice, etc. He wants to tea kettle to come along to make tea and I'm like just use a cooking pan to boil water. He wants a radio for music and news; I told him to go sit in the van to listen to it. This is getting so ridiculous and out of control that it's becoming a huge amount of work.
Do you have a camp site with running water and electric, Corin. We do.
Do you have a pack n play that Makayla could sleep in? What about a bouncer seat? Adam spent many a nights sleeping in those.
The bouncy seat is a good idea! I'm bringing the pack n play for the daytime, but I don't think it would fit in our tent.
A meal plan-lol. My meal plan is something like-poptarts for breakfast, cold cuts and soup for lunch, and hot dogs for dinner. nice and simple!
Yes I have a fridge, stove, over, bathroom all the good stuff. You guys are more than welcome to use whatever!! I bought a bathing suit for preggers, it is so cute. This will be the puppy's first time at the camper so it should be interesting! I bought some marshmellows, graham crakers and chocolate last night! I am SOOO looking forward to this!
Kara, do the boys have fishing rods? If not, I have two little ones only thing is, one is barbie ;)
We don't have any fishing rods. Aaron has been begging for one. I thought you had to have a license to fish there. At least that's what their website said.
Not a county license, I think you have to purchase them for like 4 or 8 bucks to fish at their lake when you get there.
They do not enforce it much. My mom and dad additional for licenses, so I guess if the boys are using our fishing pole, it's techincally our license LOL! I think they only pay for like four, but every time we go there, there is atleast 10 of us that fish. Like I said I have to kid's ones, but one is Barbie, and if Chuck likes to fish I have a couple adult ones.
You guys are going to have the best time! I hope you catch plenty of fish!!
I cant wait to see the pics and hear the stories!
Have fun everyone and take lots of photos!!!!! I'll be there in spirit, roast a marshmellow for me! :)
Wooohoooo! I've got the car packed and ready to go. I'm going to bed and leaving in the early morning! Can't wait!
Have a safe drive everyone!!!
Looking forward to seeing the pics..

I have been thinking of you.. I hope you had a great weekend..
I survived! It was wonderful to get together and meet Corin, Makayla and Kate. It was soooooooo hot!!!! As I suspected, camping is NOT for me! Ha ha! I just might consider doing it again with some CHERUBS members, though. You'll really have to sweet talk me : )
I took over 70 pictures so look for those over the next days.
Kara - you made it out in one piece!!! Hope the boys didn't get burnt...
I will look out for the pics...
hahaha-Kara you are too funny! You got to sleep in the camper!!!! I think next time I really need to bring some sort of camping bed, my back is killing me now. Don't forget to email me some of those pictures :)
I had such a great time! Kate and Kara are both amazing people! So were their families. I am so happy I decided to go!
Aaron informed me (as we were getting ready to leave) that Makayla loved him and that he loved Makayla. He told me that Makayla was really going to miss him. When I told him that we were going to see him in July he said he was excited b/c Makayla would be older than :) He is such a little flirt-lol.
I didn't get too many pictures, but here is one that I have. It's a bit dark and fuzzy though :(

That is so great!!! Love the photo!!! I really want to make it next year!
Hey Dawn-where do you want me to upload the photos I have. Is there a way to make a folder?
Ok, added in the Get-togethers section of the album
Finally heading for bed... will catch up tomorrow. Can't wait to see the photos!
Thanks! I just added the few pics that I have. I can't wait to see all of the one's Kara took!
That is too funny! He is so funny with what he says. And I'm surprised that he went for a younger girl. He usually likes them older than him : )
Can you give us more picture space? I still have about 30 pics that I haven't uploaded. You told me to take lots of pictures and that's what I did!
you guys had a ball l bet ..
hey , corin, did you have to cross any rivers in the corolla with GPS ??LOL
lol-nope, I made it there and back without any major issues! Not bad for my first trip driving without Nate :)
Corin, Kara,
