So my sister, Cee, comes by to pick me up for our ride to the birthday party at the campground. It's a pretty ride down the mountain with lots of trees. If it had been later in the day, we would have seen a lot of the deer that live in the preserve area because they seem to come to browse around the road area. They are totally not afraid of people because they cannot be hunted and many have lived in the area since they were fawns.
The campground was full of people just enjoying life. The Princess and Johnnycakes DID buy themselves a golf cart for getting around the grounds. Johnnycakes told us he tells people he bought it for himself but he said he HAD to get one because Gunner loves to ride in them. They mostly use it to go to the pool while they are there.
Gunner was down for his nap in the camper when we got there and Johnnycakes was at the camper waiting for him to wake up while he cooked up the hot dogs for everyone. It was a real kidfest at the pavilion where we gathered. When Johnnycakes showed up with Gunner, the Princess went to get the cake. Everyone had had a hot dog or two and she also had a lot of chips with two different dips (Ranch and French onion). There was also plenty of water and soda. Good thing because it was a warm day but had a nice breeze. After the cake was cut and given out to everyone, then Chewlee opened up her gifts and cards. She was in a rush to get that part over with so they could go to the pool.
Cee and I stayed to help clean up a bit although Johnnycakes took command of that part as he carried everything to the truck to take back to the camper. We stayed to watch over everything (including Chewlee's gifts, cash and the Princess' camera and lenses). Once Johnnycakes had finished gathering it all up, then we left to come home. I wasn't feeling all that great since I hadn't slept well (up every hour to pee...LOL) and the sun was beating down on me while I was in Cee's car. Once she dropped me off at home, I lay down and slept for three hours. I talked online to my son, Mustachio, for about an hour then went to bed shortly thereafter.
I have to admit that seeing those kids running around and just having fun being together was tiring to watch. One of the little ones that came to the party, tapped me on my arm and introduced himself. His name was Noah and he was adorable. He could hardly wait to put his swimmies on and get into the pool. He had picked out a card for Chewlee that sang *Happy Birthday*and I think he must have given her his allowance as a gift. He was very cute. One of Chewlee's friends kept getting in the way of everyone seeing what gifts Chewlee got and I had to move around to see. Okay...so I am a nosy grandma....LOL.
Tomorrow (Sunday) Chewlee's other grandfather will be coming to pick her up for three days at Universal's resort in Orlando. Chewlee had no idea until I told her that she would be so lucky to see the Harry Potter village and Hogwart's school when she was there. She said, *Really?* She will have a good time. I told her when she got back, I wanted her to come and spend a night or two at our house. She loves to play this one game on Pogo and I bought enough gems for her to play one of the new episodes. I've missed having her around and one night (or even two) won't be too bad for her.
Time to go back to bed for me. I'm still tired and it's early in the morning. Love you all. Hope you have a great Sunday. ***Hugs***
