DAY 7: We’re Really Roughin’ It Now!

We’re at a campground that has no cable TV. Boy-oh-boy, we’re really roughin’ it now! Last night, before dark, we took the boys for a walk. We found an old train track and walked on it to an old railroad bridge. Don’t worry. The campground owner had assured us it’s a dead track. Both Max and Mason LOVE trains so they were beyond thrilled. Max even found two rusty railroad spikes for souvenirs. Rusty metal – such a safe toy (sigh…). It definitely is a quiet campground, except for the happy sounds of children. There aren’t many campers here at all. Last night, a tractor was working the farm next door but he turned in before dark.

The boys and I slept in this morning because there was no noise. The shades in the RV are like the thick window coverings in hotel rooms. You don’t wake up just because the sun does. I wouldn’t normally sleep in on a Monday morning but, well, it IS vacation.

I then worked all day and I’m tired of looking at this computer screen. Monday is always my busiest day of the week. Max and Mason played outside, took turns vaccuuming up flies with the bug vaccuum, and then watched a DVD when the sun got too hot this afternoon. They also played with a flashlight, trying to “catch the light” while the other one was holding it. They just finished eating and want to take another evening walk so I gotta go now. :)
