Vosslings Adventure Part 2- Day 27

Day 27

Thursday, July 14, 2016        Beach Bummed

Today was our last full day to enjoy the RV Resort. I took a vote and the kids decided to spend the day at the beach. The boys enjoyed riding their boards and searching for sea shells. Colin spent much of his time with his face in the shallow water hunting for the perfect shell. They sure enjoy their time at the beach. Chandler decided to call it quits early and headed back to the RV because he wasn't feeling well. Just as I was getting ready to go check on him, the lemon ice cart girl came over which we had been waiting on for a good while. After our little treat, Carmen kept the boys and I headed over to check on Chandler.

Back at the RV, Chandler was feeling better after getting cleaned up. Josh skipped the beach today to fix a few things on the RV.  When we arrived on Sunday, we found the bike rack had melted into the horizontal position from the heat and RV movement while driving. That was interesting to come across. That was a must fix before we take off tomorrow. While Chandler and I were assisting Josh with the bike rack, his hand slipped and the ratchet nailed him in the nose. Poor guy was a bloody mess. Josh is a tough guy tho. Didn't phase him one bit! He also did some routine maintenance. Gotta love this guys ability to do what you gotta do! As Josh was finishing up, we heard thunder so I ran inside to grab my cell before running down to the beach to get the kids. Just as I was heading out, the kids had just walked up. So glad Carmen knew what to do! It sure does storm here often and very unpredictable.

Later in the evening, the boys wanted to ride their bikes and were pleased to find out that Josh had added lights to all of their bikes! AWESOME! So Josh and I sent the boys on their way and we decided to take a moonlight stroll on the beach. There were several people still enjoying the beach and many were fishing. The next resort over had some beach fireworks going. It was a beautiful scene. So glad we took advantage of this alone time.

Chandler, Colin and Charlie decided to join the Resort after-dark bike and golf cart parade on their bikes. This park is huge so for them to participate in the parade was very tiring but they sure had a blast! They really enjoyed being able to be out at dark. This park is hopping at night. There are so many activities planned. Something for everyone.

Day 27 Happy 4th of July!

Day 27

INDEPENDENCE DAY!!

July 4, 2015

Happy 4th of July!! Today we had an activity filled day ahead. We arrived bright and early ready for events ahead. We tried to round up our kids that stayed over night with some cousins. There was a bit of a circus planned today. There were some clowns, face painting, fishing, games, prizes and scavenger hunt. The kids all had a blast with clowns Caleb and Liz playing a game with a parachute. I really enjoyed seeing the big cousins take over some of the entertainment for our little ones.

The afternoon was filled with so many fun activities including our traditional gigantic firetruck water slide. The water slide is usually the "do not miss" event for the kids.  The fishing contest is also moving up on the list of events. I loved fishing this year. I started off by myself and ended up with 5 groupies under the age of 10. Love my parental duties. I really enjoyed this years reunion because there is a new generation on kiddos running around and it was fun to learn about them all.

Later we had our hayride from Uncles farm back to Picnic Point were we love to fish and sing and cook up some good ol' burgers on the grill. At Picnic Point we love to take our time fishing and working on our best catch for the contest. During our hayride, it turns into a hay throwing fight between the 2 tractors. It really is a big hay mess but it certainly is fun by all!

The big kids hung back and Chandler slept in a tent in the yard at the radio station WJLY while Carmen slept at her Aunties. We drove to St. Louis where we spent the evening with my parents for the night.
