We camped in a totally new way this fourth, it was a festival, a resort, a circus of laughs, giggles and water spray in all its wonderful forms. We were fortunate to be invited along by Amy to join her traveling clan of merry makers and with was great. With a dozen or more others already at the campground we headed out early on Thursday morning. The resort had miles of road for the kids to scooter around on and two different parks, ice cream shop, geocaching, beach with obstacle course and slides and a to compliment those features was a legitimate pool and waterslide features. There was plenty of smore time to replenish the calories that the kids spent running around in a dirty dozen pack. Friday was pontoon day. We rented a pontoon for several hours and trolled around the lake stopping occasionally to swim in the shallow areas of the lake. The heat and humidity was too high to allow much in the way of afternoon napping, but Merrick and I did coopt an AC controlled hardside and crank off a much needed recharge during the four day stay. The weekend had fireworks on the beach with several locals putting on very remarkable shows from about 5 different places on the lake. The arcade was always an option for the kids and we spent a couple of green backs on bubble hockey. Saturday was the bike parade followed by the campground dance. The arcade was converted into a fully functioning video DJ came in to set the stage for conga lines and dance hits that were perfect for the kids. Watching the kids shrug at the late hits of the 70's was hillarious, but they danced nonetheless. One of the tribe also had his 5th birthday, which required superhero capes and masks for everyone. Somewhere along the line we had water balloon fights, rode the trolly, ate a couple of ice cream cones, but even now as my body starts to recover from the fun the chronology of those event is lost to me.
