Picnic Grounds

 Goodness, time has gotten away from me!  It's been a long time since I entered a post.

This past weekend we launched the SS Rolinco for a family camping trip at the Mielke picnic grounds.  This trip was originally planned for a late April weekend, but farming and cold weather got in the way.  Anyway we thought, it will be warmer towards the end of May.  Not so much!   We had a grand time nevertheless.  Alicia picked up a nasty head cold earlier in the week (not covid!).  She and Matthew joined us for the afternoon and through dinner on Saturday, but camping in the cold didn't seem like such a good idea. 

A few highlights from our time together.

Roasting marshmallows for 'smores.

So yummy!

Let's go fly a kite.

Never a lack of wind in our region.

Found a nest of ants.  They are so interesting.

Always explaining something.

Climbing a tree!

Made it up to dad, with a little help from mama.  

Chilly Saturday morning.

Driving the SS Rolinco.

We kept a fire going most of the time, for cooking and for warming up.
