Camping at Meramec State Park 2018

We finally had a break in the weather and Spring has returned. We loaded up and headed out to Meramec State Park in Sullivan, MO. This was my grandson's first time to Meramec State Park. I think he really enjoyed himself. We only had enough wood for one fire and with it staying light longer, I was ok with that. We had beautiful weather and we enjoyed getting away and relaxing. Well relaxing as much as possible with a 5 year old.

Spring sports 2018

My grandson is in 2 sports right now. Soccer started last week & T - ball tonight. The weather is still chilly. The wind was cold but the sun was shinning & my grandson had fun!

First camping trip of 2018.... cancelled

My grandson & I love camping! However the weather this Spring has not cooperated, at all. We were supposed to head out yesterday to Bennett Springs State Park but high winds & severe weather, kept us home. We were going to head out early this morning but the weather forecast changed. More high winds, rain & falling temperatures. So I am unloading the camper & waiting for a better weekend.

Easter 2018

This weekend was a whirlwind. Seemed like all we did was run.
Friday, my good friend retired from work. We had her a party and wished her well. Then I came home and put news paper on the table and made our dye. A mixture of shaving cream and dyes. We made some pretty eggs!
Saturday morning we drove South to the Lake of the Ozarks to their 4th annual Easter Egg hunt. It was a mad house. There was free hot dogs, chips and water. Multiple bounce houses, real bunnies, chickens, and even a baby goat.
Today was Easter and it was pretty low key but the weather turned bad. While at dinner with my mom, daughter and grandson, it began to sleet. The roads we very slick. I wish Spring would get here and stay. In a few weeks, we will be headed out on our first camping trip. I hope we have decent weather.
Happy Easter to everyone and be safe!
