2015 Aug 2 - A day with our Grandson

Mom, Dad, and Sissy went to a Shinedown concert in St. Louis, so we kept Grayson at our house for a couple of days. We had a great time and he was a really good boy the whole time he was with us.

On Sunday, we went to all the places Grayson wanted to go to while he was staying with us: The zoo, Chuck E. Cheese, and Scheel's to ride the Ferris wheel.

Here are a few pics I took during the day.

2015 July 21-26 - CrossRoads of America Tearjerkers Gathering

We attended our first teardrop gathering at McCormick's Creek State Park in Indiana. VERY nice park. The international teardrop camper club is called the Tearjerkers. There are chapters all over the US and around the world. This particular gathering was a bi-annual, multi-chapter event, so it was much larger than the individual chapter gatherings. There were 146 camping units in attendance.

The event didn't officially start until Thursday, but we arrived on Tuesday. I would guess that at least 80% of the campers there were homebuilt units. The creativity and attention to detail just amazed me.

As we have found with virtually everyone we run into in a campground, whether we're camping by ourselves or as part of a group, everyone at this event was super friendly and eager to show off their camper. We had a great time. Looks like we're going to have to carve out some more time so we can attend more Tearjerker events!

Enjoy the photos!
