Labor Day Weekend 2008

8-28-08 (Rita's Birthday!)
We raced home from work & hopped in the Siesta on our way to Tipton Iowa and Hunts Cedar River Campgrounds. We wanted to stay in Scott County park but it was full, we are meeting my Mom and Dad and Chesley there.... We get there and it's like two feet from Interstate 80! See the video!




I was thinking .. maybe it will be better in the morning.. it is so noisy, you can't even hear the person next to you.. one thing is, if the boys bark no one is going to hear them!

Friday 8-29-08


Beautiful sunny day! Mike fixed us breakfast and yes.. still VERY loud from the interstate but it is kind of a nice place and pretty where the river is. We hiked with the boys down to the river and along it for a ways and then through some farm fields. After hiking we had to brush them to get all the burrs out of their fur! and then we made some sticky notepad holders for Chesley to give away as Christmas gifts.
We could not believe the people that were packing in there! There was not even room to walk between some of the campers! We cooked some hobo meals and watched the never ending stream of campers, cars and golf carts! The boys just loved all the activity.

We made a trip into Tipton to get some supplies at Wal-Mart and then back to the campground for a campfire.

Saturday 8-30-08




The campground is full!!! They are going to have some fun activities today Golf Cart Rodeo and Soda Bottle Scavenger hunt! and yes it is still very noisy but I guess you get used to it somewhat.

Sunday 8-31-08

The dogs are exhausted! They slept in until 8:30! Today we are going to a harvest fest in Scott County Park.



Monday 9-1-2008
