I'm posting before the end of the month? I know...crazy right?

So I'm only about a week before the end of the month but we've had a busy few weeks. 3 family reunions this month and mine was a 2 day drunken, pig roasting, camping blowout. When I went to upload my pictures yesterday the camera told me I had taken 187 pictures since the last upload. So I figured I'd better break this out into two posts.

So lets start..oddly enough...at the beginning.

While cleaning up after the unknown camper (a mouse) I took a load of stuff into the house to be ran through the dishwasher. A shadow caught my eye and I realized there was something flying in my house. At first I thought it might just be a small bird but I soon realized it was a bat. So I got Susan so we could take some pictures of it and then we spent about 10 minutes trying to get it out of the house. With an umbrella and small house broom I managed to coax it out of the house. Here's a pic..sorry I was too chicken to get any closer to it.



So we got the motor home ready and went camping. It was a great time, lots of laughing, lots of stories, and some sunshine.

Dinner


Susan's Mexican dip tray was a hit.


Got to get a Susan shot in here.


So after dinner was over it was time to start drinking. Of course I was one of the few sober people as usual.


Somehow my motor home became party central...I think it had something to do with the rain and lack of small children in my R.V.


Sunset = time for drinking games. Susan got HAMMERED!


Morning after mess I got to clean up. Well Susan helped :)


However, I did manage to get a hike in during this busy month. We went to walk the 5.5 mile Nisqually loop.


But, they had shut down part of the trail. So halfway in you found this sign.


Time to turn around and head back.

Updated monthly goals.
Current weight 172.6 got a bit to lose in about a week.
Hikes 1 down 1 to go.
Blog done.

So I'll have another post up in about a week.
