From out the wilderness

Well, had a rather nice time of Norwegian camping. Just about ideal weather. Not too hot, not too cold. Built a nice fire last night, cooked some hot dogs, roasted marshmallows, the kids went swimming. There were almost no other people at the lake.

Then, we came back home for the night. My throat is still sore, it was going to be a little cool overnight, so wanted to get a good nights rest indoors. Which I did, slept like a log. Was nice to be able to take a good shower in the morning too, and we all piled back into the van in the morning and went back. Rhonda cooked us up some good eggs and bacon. I made another good fire, since we had bought two stacks of firewoods.

We brought Ellie with us in the morning, but she was rather scared of the fire, so she spent much of the morning underneath the van.

There is a little talk back at the camp tonight on raptors. We might head over there and see if the kids like that.

As of this writing, my employer's union still hasn't agreed to a contract. Strike deadline is tonight. Grrrr. I'm betting I gotta work tomorrow. Grrrr.
