4th of July

What a great weekend we have had. Our fammily has a campout each year with a different couple being the camp directors. This year it was my husband and I and we did M*A*S*H for our theme. In the past we have had a variety of camps such as; Fear Factor, Old Fashioned Farmer's Days, Pirates, Logging Camp, Indian Camp, and Margaritaville.
As our grandchildren get older, we are trying to incorporate them into the competitions. This time I had them in the different games along side the adults. I finally figured out that they were getting tired when one of them said, "No more games, Grandma." But I think all in all they totally enjoyed their time here at the old homestead.
We had great food and drink and fireworks that lit up the sky last night. We enjoyed a hayride and campfires with Smores and popcorn. We had a talent show and I learned that there is not a whole lot of talent in our family but a lot of fun and laughter.
We had an airplane fly overhead and drop bags of candy. He was 5:00 Charlie. The grandkids loved that one.
The tents were beautiful at night with all the lights everyone had on display. But it was very sad to see the empty spaces when they all went home today. But we know that we will all be back to enjoy another 4th of July next year when our theme is going to be Firefighter's Freedom. I will let you know how that one turns out. Have a safe and wonderful 4th of July.
