Camping with Granny and Granddaddy

Post Entry from Granddaddy...
1. ROUGH ROADS.
Sam thought the rough surface on I 59 was perfect for vocalizing. Using the bumps (which were increased by the trailer behind us)he ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ahed the entire 35 miles both ways with the vibration making the pauses in his voice.

2. lost camper
When we arrived at Desoto, we un hooked the trailer and drove up to Desoto falls. On the way there, Davis looked back and noticed the trailer was not behind. "Grandady, we lost the camper" he said. When Granny assured him we had left it at the campground, he asked"Do you think Grandaddy can find it?"

3. best toy
The best most enjoyed toy on the trip-the BROOM. Sam made streets, ponds, deserts. landing strips and mountains for 2 days in the gravel next to the trailer, and Davis had to do the same. Thankfully, we had 2 brooms.

4. most confused hero.
Sam had his outfit down, but it was a mix of Woody from Toy story and Indiana Jones, so he spent the trip as Woodyana.

5. fire pit
Sam and davis really liked starting fires, so much so that Sam volunteered his wuffin papers out of his Indiana Jones bag to help start them. They both picked up every tiny twig near the trailer to "post marshmallows". They liked them extremely lightly toasted, no brown. The brown was yucky, but Grandaddy liked it.

6.camping
Sam and Davis both had fun, and wanted to go again, but Mom and Dad can't go with us, only Anabelle.

7.Our Robin Williams moment
As we unhooked the trailer and got ready to go home, the boys had to help every step of the way. As I unhooked the sewer hose, with them watching intently, the connection popped loose and a small flood ensued. Thankfully, it was "grey" water, or bathtub, sink water, not black water, but when I got the pipe back together, my audience was gone.
