Hello? Is this thing on?

I've kind of been an absentee blogger lately, haven't I?  I actually have a good reason.  I really do.  Kids.  My kids specifically.  We've been wearing out the sprinkler and the $20 blow up pool.  Oh and we decided to make an impromptu overnight trip to the campground too.  That was an adventure.   The lake is still 16 feet above the regular Summer pool level so finding available campsites was interesting.  Not to mention that this is the third year that none of the lakes "beaches" were open.  Ah well... we've been having fun anyway!
