Independence Day
Today was truly a day of rest. We were disappointed to awaken to rain and clouds, but the weather allowed us a day of relaxing and naps. Shannon fixed wonderful ham, cheese, spinach, onion and mushroom omelets for breakfast and given the weather we simply sat around and talked. The kids were able to do some activities around the campground in between rain showers and the adults all took naps. Around 5:00 P.M. the sun finally came out and the rain stopped. We were able to grill out some hot dogs and brats and play some "corn hole" (the bean bag tossing game). Finally we had our last campfire, ate some strawberry/rhubarb pie and were able to watch some of the local fireworks before doing some preliminary packing and hitting the sack. We have a 12 hour drive ahead of us tomorrow back to Shelby. This will put us near the 5000 mile mark. We all are looking forward to being home.
