Despite the hot and humid weather, we had a very enjoyable Memorial Day Weekend. Our park is so quiet during the week but Thursday night it began filling up for the long weekend and by Friday night it was full to capacity.  Each weekend we seem to meet another one of our neighbors and have made some great friends here.  It seems like all we did was cook, eat and drink with them this weekend. Of course, Ray was the official griller and margharita maker. 

Horseshoe tournaments are a big thing at this park.  Here is Ray playing a game just for fun. 

Not only have WE made new friends, but Mickey and Jerry have as well.  I think there is a dog at every site here.

This little Shitzu is Maggie.  She was rescued by our friends a year ago at which time she was so frightened of everything that they couldn't even pet her.  She has come along way but is happiest sitting under her owners lawn chair and remaining unnoticed.  Of course Mickey and Jerry like her because she keeps a low profile.

I tried to crop the neighbors legs and feet out of this picture but was having a problem with it.  Despite that, this little dog is Savannah.  She is another rescue dog, and believe it or not, another one that Mickey and Jerry are fond of.  I think that is because she just roams around by herself and minds her own business.  Unlike Maggie, she loves for you to give her attention and she loves to eat.

Last but not least is Bobby.  He is a cute little 8 year old rugrat.  This one is not a friend of Mickeys.  Not sure what it is since Bobby is a very quiet, but him and Mickey do not see eye-to-eye.

On Memorial Day the kids came out to visit and we took a ride to the lake to walk along the bluffs and take in the scenery.  There is something about being near the water that is just so relaxing.  And there were so many boats on the water since it was a nice sunny day.  We also took our granddog Annie for her first swim.  She would run in the lake and swim for a few minutes and then run out.  We think the water was probably a little too cold for her.

After the trip to the lake it was back to the campground for a cookout, followed by a 90 degree day campfire.

Annie loves to sit in a camp chair and watch the campfire but she was so tired from her swim that she fell asleep.

We listened to another camper play the bagpipes and remembered what this day was all about, remembering those in the military who serve or have served to fight for our freedom, and those who have sacrificed their lives so we can enjoy this wonderful life we have.  God Bless you all.
