I’m not sure if it can get any cuter than this!  I love everything about it!  The design is fabulous and so are the colors!  Carol Hill hand painted this super sweet vintage trailer herself, what do you think?

Early morning, before all the sleepy heads are up and glamping their trailers.

I caught these flamingos, early one morning, outstanding in the field….grazing between trailers.

It didn’t take long for us all to bond.  Here we are getting ready for a lovely seafood lunch.

There was a huge variety of vintage and new trailers.

The weather was a bit unpredictable at first but we saw little rain, most of it was in the evening or at night.  We had glorious sunshine everyday!  I even got a bit of sunburn.

I had to share some of our activities, of which, their were many.  Here I am preparing to mount a horse for the first time since the sixties.  Yes, some of you may remember that I did Saddle Camp last year.  But I rode a mule and Charlie was a super sweetheart!  Thanks, Charlie, for keeping me on the straight and narrow!  Love you.  However, I know one mounts them the same, I was still a bit nervous.

See, I am up and ready to go with Cisco.

And here are some of my sisters ready to go.

 

I will try and get a little post ready for tomorrow morning, just before I head off to Seattle for my Mom’s birthday celebration.

  1. I dont know how anyone could have a bad day weather wise with all the fun you gals have to keep the mood light. I bet being around those gals is like medicine to the soul. AND the added gift is seeing all those campers and all of GOD's creations.

    Hope you had a good ride!
