Yes, I know it is scary having a Chuck & a Charlie together for any extended period of time. It must be the name as they both were full of comments that kept everyone laughing!
The campground Rana found was Coloma Resort which is along the banks of the American River not too far out of Placerville. What a wonderful campground! We could have done anything from white water rafting to hot air balloon rides. Our choice...walk the short distance to Sutter's Mill and take in a little bit of that California history.
Besides relaxing by the campfire, we were able to play a little bit of lawn bocce ball and played cards. Charlie & I taught Rana how to play cribbage. We must be good teachers since Matt & Rana kicked our butts!
The highlight of the trip came yesterday while fixing breakfast, we watched the people camping next to us in their new BIG BEAUTIFUL RV pull out while their electric cord was still plugged in. Matt ran after them yelling to stop, which they did....a little to late. Lucky for them the cord pulled out in tact. Can't say as much for the power box. Don't request site 10. It will be out of commission for a little while!
Next time we do this trip, we would like to bring the girls and their families along. It would be nice to have the campsites right on the river however, after careful consideration this Grammy decided as much as she loves Drew, she didn't want to go for a swim playing chase the ball (his favorite game camping)!
On Sunday after church, my Aunt Connie, Jodi, & I took the girls out to Hannah Nicole's to do a little wine tasting. Since Matt also had to work on Sat. and was unable to attend the BBQ, he and Rana (his girlfriend) joined us at Hannah Nicole's. It was such a beautiful day sitting outside relaxing and sipping wine. What a way to end a weekend and!
Next time Drew and Kady have a play date, I'm sure Kady will be running to keep up with Drew!
Drew now takes delight in saying "Giants Matt" whenver he sees Matt's picture. Should we really confuse him now and teach him "Go Twins"?!
