Labor Day Weekend at Campland

There was no mistaking the arrival of the last holiday weekend at Campland. The place filled up to capacity and the beach was packed. I did some quick calculations and am pretty sure more than a kilocase of beer was consumed.

Friday brought me new neighbors, Rick & Terri. It was Rick's B-Day and Terri made a cake. I don't know how many candles, but we all enjoyed the celebration. They introduced me to at least 20 friends and family and welcome me as one of their own.

Carol, Bill and Desmond came to visit Saturday and enjoy the sun. We had a great time at the beach relaxing. Desi found a girlfriend (one of Rick's clan of course) Kaya, and they had a great time playing with Ripley.
Bill helped me launch the kayak.And he was proud to see Desi and I off on a voyage...Desi had a great time on the water. He called me captain, and gave me orders to chase the ducks, go to the beach; he wants to be in charge.Desi and Ripley rode the bike trailer around camp. You can see the crowd at the beach in the background. The next day Desi was back and here you can see him directing me where to go once again.
April and Joe came out Sunday for a little beach time with Maya, Mason and Desi.
Rip was trying to look cool for the ladies...And Mason was making bubbles all day long. Desi loved feeding the ducks.
Here is part of Rick's clan - the Sunday night crowd... "It's a disk, with a card inside, displaying a couple words and all these happy people take turns to guess the answer and pass the disk before that dang buzzer goes off!" What's that game??? Please someone from Rick's clan, post a picture of the midnight baseball game.Jimmy proudly displays his big catch. And this is our view of Sea World after the fireworks were done and all the boats were docked.
So, it all came to an end on Monday afternoon. Campland was a ghost town Tuesday morning, and I was nursing a swollen foot. I got over my brief depression, had a great time Tuesday night, and departed on Wednesday.
