Moose, we just went there with the Girl Scouts last month.  They had a blast.  Being there I couldn't remember why we don't camp there more often.  It was one of the first places we went when we got our first PU and then suddenly we quit going there.  I think we burned out on it back then, but absence makes the heart grow fonder.  Make sure to go to the ranger campfire program (with no campfire, oddly) on Saturday night to hear from the bat lady.  She's great.

Okay.  Here's the scoop on our belated arrival Friday night.  We were going to leave right after school Friday for Casitas.  Then David decided to join the water polo team, and we found out yesterday that he has a tournament this weekend, and they are mandatory.  So we talked to his coach today and explained the situation (having made plans long ago to go out of town, just finding out about this whole water polo schedule, etc.) and he said if David can make the Thursday and Friday games, he can miss the Saturday game.  So let's hope they get done by 7:00 PM Friday so we can head out.  We were kind of leaning towards leaving late anyway to miss traffic.  So hopefully the traffic fairies will do their thing and we'll get there by 10:00 PM, before the gates close.  If David has a game that will go later than 7:00 PM, I'm thinking of sending Paul and Emily ahead with the trailer and I'll drive up with David either in the morning or late that night.  Come hell or high water (should that be chlorinated high water?) I'm going camping this weekend!!

We're camping with my SIL's camping group. Hopefully we'll be able to stagger over there. I used to take our Scout troop there and when we were youth advisers to the HS church crowd, we went there also. It's a nice place and close to everything.

Trina-YOU GO GIRL!!!  I just love when they pull the "its mandatory" with no advance notice..just because they don't have a life doesn't mean the rest of us don't.


I just had a 1/2 cord of wood delivered yesterday and I got a new shipment Glow sticks too!!!

My friend Jill and her 2 boys are going to visit Friday (she visited at Santa paula)


Jeanne:  I bought a rivit gun to fix my door but I'm doing something wrong, if I bribe Jim with a couple of Corona's think he'll help me fix it?  :!

Diedre,  He might even do it without the bribe!!

So far our plan is that Jim will arrive in the afternoon Friday to set up camp and I will follow in the evening with the kids (plus a friend of ds).  Can't believe it is just two days away!  Yahooie!

The Darksiders will be joining us but the best they could do for  a campsite with hookups is to get a spot in the E-loop (something to be said for booking early!).  They will be hanging out with us in the B loop and joining in on the potlucks.

Whoops...in case you didn't figure it out...that was me!  I hate it when that happens!

Hi, darksiders here, we're excited to be joining the group, but we're sooo far away in E loop.  if you hear of any cancellation in B w/ hookups, please let us know
thanx & see ya soon

I'm not Jeanne, but I'll chime in anyway.  My DH, Paul, is quite proficient at the rivet gun, having built something on every MD-11 flying today, so if Jim can't get to it, Paul probably can.
 
Judging by the water polo game schedule tomorrow, the first day of this tournament, we may head up early Saturday morning instead of Friday night.  If you don't see us Friday, don't worry about us.  We'll be there eventually.  Paul wanted to know if we can have any margaritas this go round.

I will be making my famous Marga-G-tas as well as a new one taught to me by Rita.  If she makes it we call it a Sake-Rita.  If I make it then it is definitely a Sake-G-ta!  Cool and refreshing on a hot summer day!  See you when you get there!

well we may be upthere later than I thought..Kara has been having the episodes of severe nausea, so we may have to stop several times. we thought it was a particular video game she was watching Kevin play but she almost puked in the car on the way home from school. we made it to dinner with friends but it seems to come in waves. I'm keeping her home from school hoping she'll be okay for camping...

[Camping Coxes]

It's official -- we're coming in Saturday morning.  David has a water polo game at either 6:30 PM or 7:10 PM, depending on how they do their first game at 3:10 tomorrow.  Either game we'd be really pushing it to get there by 10:00 PM, and that's IF the game schedule stays on time.  So to play it safe, and not be so tired on the road and still have to set up camp in the dark, Paul made the command decision for us to leave Saturday morning.  Now I have to call and see when the office opens for us to check in and tell them we're coming and don't give our spot away!

[g-whiz]

TGIF!!!  Hopefully Kara is better and ready to go camping!  See you on Saturday Trina.  See the rest of you tonight!!!  :-()

[gsm x2]

We're heading out in a circuitous route.  We'll be there FOR GOOD about 3:00.  We're planning on dinner at Boccollis..an Italian restaurant either in Ojai or Oak View.  We would love to have others join us.

See you there.  Bring your contact lists.
