Today started (1am) with us getting a key made to our RV (if you missed that story, click here)

At 2am, we finally found a safe place to park our RV.  We landed at a Wal-Mart in Northwest Atlanta.  We slept until around 8:30am.  Erica went into Wal-Mart and bought groceries. (This is Erica and I would like to have an official disclaimer that I only went into WM out of pure desperation.  Thank you.)  Then, we headed to our spot at the campground on Lake Allatoona on outskirts of Atlanta area.  We were supposed to spend last night here too, but they locked the gate at 10:30pm and we couldn’t get in.

It was a very relaxing day!  Swimming in the lake.  Doing a few loads of laundry. Reading. Building a fire. Roasted Marshmallows and s’mores.

very cool, old-school lake front beach area

Fan the flame!

the smoke stinks

He insisted on wearing his shades to protect his eyes from the fire 🙂

That’s a happy boy

mmmmmmmm! That’s what I’m talkin bout!

We capped the night off with a good ole fashioned game of Skip-Bo.  As a parent/grandpartent there is this unspoken rule that you should always let your kids/grandkids win.  I say, kids need a good dose of reality, they can’t always win.  But this time, I really wasn’t trying to administer said dose of reality, I simply won by pure luck.  There you go folks.  My kids didn’t even cry about it like my husband did.

So, just before we started our game of Skip-Bo, Jude comes out with multiple pairs of socks on.  This R.V. is 32 feet long and only 18 of that has linoleum on it.  But leave it to the boys to turn their super padded feet into skates.  Avery jumped up within seconds and donned at least 6 pair of his own, so that they could skate together.

After their skating duel, I walked back to find Avery kicking Jude and declaring, “look mom, I can kick him and it doesn’t hurt him!”  Oh the joy.
