Camping weekend past

We had a very nice time with Beth and clan out at Clinton Lake in Kansas. The weather was nearly perfect for being outside, unusual for camping (especially with Beth and Lucas as it always seems to rain!) We did have ridiculous wind on Saturday which bent one of the legs on our dining canopy, we will probably need a new one. I don't think we'll be able to get it back up almost didn't get it down. Also on Saturday Larry broke one of the arms of his lawn chair. He has a hard time getting up and down and always uses one hand, usually his right, to help by pushing down on things. Plastic just doesn't hold up to this so he is going to make wooden replacement arms as the rest of the chair is still spiffy. We had a ball playing with Brayden and Kolby. Brayden likes to go between campers and then he can usually con his Grandad out of cookies and his Granna out of trips to the playground or a "little scoot." He's quite speedy on his little scooter! Kolby is turning into a little butterball but a real smiler! He's growing so fast! The kids came home on Sunday and we stayed until yesterday, it was quite cool yesterday and we enjoyed the time outdoors.

Today, we took the camper in to the dealers as it has a short in the electrical system somewhere. Should have it back by the end of the week. Then we went for lunch at the Cheescake Factory, YUMMO, with the people Larry worked with which is always fun. They are worried about their jobs as Embarq has been acquired by another telecommunications firm and no one knows how long they'll have a job. Very stressful for them, I'm grateful Larry is out of it.
After that we went to the VA for an appointment with Ortho, boring as they were 2 hours behind. We had to drive in a horrible downpour, water all over the streets, etc I was glad we were in the pickup! No change in the hole, watch for infection, come back in three months. He has no more appointments until August--I can hardly believe it!
