July 12-16th Camp Wildwood...

On Sunday, July 12th, we drove from Lake Placid to Berkshire. It took us much less time than I thought it would, only about 5 hours. We stopped for lunch at one of our favorite restaurants when we are "on the road", Cracker Barrel. There is one near Albany on route 87. The trip was fast and uneventful, except for our EZPass not reading at one toll, so we had lots of energy when we got to Camp to unpack and get the camper totally "shut down". Even had plenty of time to make dinner and relax.

On Monday, Rod mowed all the trails and the "grass" around the house. It was a pretty cool evening on Sunday night and Monday morning was only in the upper 40's. Brrr. The dogs enjoyed running on the property and going for long walks on Monday morning and Monday night. Rod got the tractor started and took it for a spin as well. He even plowed a bit in plot 4. It's his new toy after all, and he can't wait to use it!

On Tuesday, Rod drove all the way home and went straight to Tony's house to work on his quad. That went smoothly and he brought it back with him on Wednesday, along with his niece and nephew. Steven and Savannah are here with us now and they are having a blast! Steven hasn't gotten off the quad for more than enough time to go to the bathroom or to eat, and other than that he's been riding like crazy. We had S'Mores on Wednesday night and Savannah enjoyed making her own! She was a first-timer.

I really thought the kids would sleep in this morning (Thursday), but they were up (at least Savannah was) before 6 am, but that was due to the thunder storm we were having. She never fell back asleep, so I predict that tonight she will crash early, especially since she has been outside ALL DAY! Right now I am at the library here in Berkshire, just to post this blog, and do some other odds and ends. Tonight we are supposed to have thunderstorms, but it has been nice pretty much all day.

The nights have been very cold. The past few mornings were in the low 40's when I got up. This morning was a bit warmer, in the 50's. It certainly doesn't feel like July most of the time... Sorry I have no photos right now, I didn't have a chance to get any more of them off the camera. Will have some next time...
