Memorial Weekend





For Memorial weekend, we usually go camping every year. This year we went to the same place that we went last year. Alder Lake Tacoma Power Park, owned and operated by Tacoma Power. By the time Memorial weekend planning rolls around Mom and I usually remember we have to make reservations for camping. By then all the good camp grounds are full and the ones that aren't full the good spots are all taken. I hope next year we will think ahead.

It was a fun camping trip and Liana, Taylor and their kids joined our usual group this year. I had brought along bubbles for Nyah and I swear at some point we had every kid in our camping area at our lot blowing bubbles. Gary and Taylor made a special trip all the way back to Wal-Mart to get more bubbles because I wanted to make sure we had enough for everyone.

The girl each got to bring a friend this year to help keep them busy. As they get older, especially Kayla, they seemed less interested in doing things with the family. Inviting friends keeps them happy. Veta had Elizabeth come and Kayla had Meridith come.

We had a campfire, made smore's and there is a playground in the middle to keep the kids busy. We had one nice sunny day but the rest were pretty drizzly. Taylor, Lianna, their kids and Kayla and her friend were all supposed to sleep in tents, but with the wet weather the only ones that toughed it out were Meridith and Kayla. The two adults wimped out and we had a full RV for most of the trip.
