Family of Bears 98 Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Sooooooo...Rita think I'm funny, so I guess I'll go on. Thanks Rita!!So Saturday morning it was just beautiful. We did breakfast at camp and then walked over to the meadows trading post for coffee and to snoop around. I got my new mug, filled it with horrible coffee which I enjoyed anyways, and then I found this!! (I put the beer in it later. No, I do not walk around at 8 am with a beer...all the time :rofl2: )The coolest Koozie Ive ever seen! Now, at this time I'd like to take a moment of silence in remembrance of my beloved koozie. I misplaced it somewhere in time between my visit with Oscar (a fellow fiend) that night, going to the fireworks at the beach, and returning to my camp. RIP dear koozie, you will be replaced but you will not be forgotten.So then a visit to Bob's dock, and guess who was there!?!?! Not Bob! But for the first 5 minutes I was convinced that I was in the presence of who would be my first fiend encounter. I was so excited, it took all I had to say "are you bob?" Now from my previous post, you already know that this was in fact not Bob. DH was looking at me like I had two heads. Like, who's Bob? Why would this man be Bob? If you know a Bob, wouldn't you know whether or not this was him? Well, he said it wasn't him and I explained myself. So to the real Bob, I look forward to one day meeting you.Then we let dd play on the playground awhile and then it was pool time. We got back from swimming and our new sign was displayed on our windshield!! We had had a delivery while we were gone!!! Yay!! And not 2 minutes later, we had a visitor with another special deliveryYay!! It's Lou!! I followed orders and got a hug (two actually) and he was soooooo nice! :hugs2: <------- Hey Lou, there's us! Anyways, he gave me my spike, which is so cool. I know that you guys aren't going to give these to just anybody, and I am glad that you have entrusted me with this privilege. And thank you to TCD for your hard work getting these, what a cool idea! :waycool: Who knew, there's a cool smiley.So after Lou jumped our van b/c it was dead, thanks Lou!, he took this pic of our happy little family of bears with our new signWe said our goodbyes and then not 5 minutes later, we get a visit from Jen, TJ, and Missy! I did not think to take a pic but we had a great little visit. It was so fun meeting you guys!! We talked a little about Stone Mountain, who knows, maybe we will find ourselves up there.We also got to meet Karla and her hubby as well as Gwen and her hubby. You guys are ALL so sweet to come find us, we enjoyed each and every visit!Well, that concludes our trip. We spent the night in torrential downpour, packed up in the rain, stopped off for some dole whip, and drove home. But we will be back in a few weeks. Hope to meet more of you then!

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Awesome report!!!! You really do need to find that canopy for the EZ-UP. I would NEVER consider tent camping without it!!! Hope your next tent camping trip is drier!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Family of Bears 98 Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Cool report. Congratulations on the spike. I have to go find one this week. Did u miss the ttWe did miss the tt, we missed the pop up more. However, the tent was easier and more comfortable than I thought! If I upgrade from tent, it would be a pop up for sure. I missed the smells and noises when I was in the tt. Thanks for asking! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Loved the report! Very cool that you got to meet some fiends in person already. It usually takes quite a bit of time before the stars align. But you met fiends within a couple of weeks! You are either very lucky, or very cursed. I guess it depends on your perspective.

Lil Lisa 53 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Loved the report!! Other than the rain it sounds like you had a magical time. Great score on the fiend meet and greets! You have met some fiends that I haven't even had the privilege of meeting yet, even if it wasn't Bob... I wish I lived close enough to go back so quickly. Maybe we'll meet you when we are there at the end of Sept. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
