A Weekend of Camping

We spent a couple days at Robertsville. State Park. Spent some time with Jeff's sister Tina and her family. Had yummy food, thunderstorms (thankfully only during the night) and lots of long walks. The kids did some fishing but the Meramec was too high and swift for them to go to. I enjoyed lots of long walks with Star and my niece Tori and Shayne. The worst part of all of it were the TICKS. We weren't there 5 minutes and Shayne was already pulling them off of himself. All 3 of us had ticks to pull off by bedtime the 1st night. So, I highly recommend that if you are going camping or to NEOTEZ this summer to find bug spray that is for ticks AND also bring a pair of tweezers. Poor Star. We are still pulling them off of her and she HATES it!!! We ended our trip with a flea market in Union, MO. Shayne insisted he didn't want to go but soon learned that he could buy XBOX games there and was very happy!!

Shayne is looking forward to his 1st full week off of school. We don't have a lot planned. I've cut back on my work schedule so we can do some fun things during the summer. This week we will be getting ready to work down at Camp NeOtez. We always love starting our summer off working there. Jeff's cooking again, I'm teaching Bible and Shayne gets to work in the Canteen. That's only til Tuesday. Then we have the rest of the week to hang out together. With no plans yet...sometimes last minute plans are the best.
