Catching up

It's been a busy week!

I only worked on Monday.

Jury Duty on Tuesday.

Camping Wed - Sun. We went to Pine Acres Resort in Oakham, MA. Up until we booked I'd never even heard of Oakham.

The campground was nice BUT I will admit we probably won't go back. It was a 2+ hour drive and not worth the gas money. I was disappointed because the place pretty much shut down at 7p for kids! What the heck?! The (one) pool they have didn't open up until 11am. Which, by the way, was grossly misrepresented in the photos online and in the brochure. The picture they posted looked HUGE. In person, not so much. It closed at 7p for kids and had adults only swim from 7-9p. They had mini golf but that closed at 7p. So what am I supposed to do with the kids? We did take them for ice cream every night. But still. I was definitely disappointed. Normandy definitely has a lot more going on. One friend mentioned that we did go for two weeknights. But, I didn't find that to be a valid argument b/c at least at Normandy the kids can still swim at night. There was literally nothing for them to do but sit at the camper at Pine Acres.

They did have a pond with a small beach which was nice. We spent two days there because the pond was warmer than the POOL. Not sure how exactly that is possible but that's how it panned out so we spent more time there.

Tiffany and her kids joined us for this trip. Jon U brought the kids up on Wed with him and Tiff joined thurs night after work. Jon left when she got there - they are having problems - but I was just happy to not be involved. We always have a good time when they camp with us and it was nice having them there.

Janet, Jenny and Michael were on the site next to us. The kids were great. My kids loved having their cousins to play with. Jenny and Erynn were inseparable which was a nice surprise considering the 9 yr age difference. We just weren't expecting what went on. That's all I have to say about that to be honest.

Next camping trip is Labor Day weekend. Fri - Mon. We might be going this one alone.....or Tiff and kids might join. Either way we are back at Normandy Farms and more than happy to be there!
