Our October Fall Invitational Campout at Ft. Massac State Park could not have been more perfect.  The mornings were cool and crisp with warm afternoons and we had plenty of food for our potluck..  Because I didn’t get a lot of response to my food list e-mails I was afraid we would not have enough.  I forget I am dealing with seasoned campers!

 

Several members were lucky enough to get there on Thursday to start the weekend of fun. By early evening on Friday the rest of the group showed up.

Friday night Dale had a campfire that lit up the whole campground and then snuck over and put some of his “magic” on the Knights campfire. Saturday was full of activities.

As for the potluck dinner I feel sure everyone left stuffed!  This bunch really knows how to put out a spread especially deserts.  After the potluck several played White Elephant Bingo until it got too chilly and we had to call it a night. Sunday was another beautiful sunshiny day. For lunch several shared their leftovers at Randy & Vicki Knights’ campsite and then in the afternoon some played Rungo and visited. Also, the little kids got to enjoy riding their bikes. From what Vicki says, this has been the best campout, as far as weather was concerned, we’ve had in (3) years!

 

Congratulations to Charles& Ellen Rice on the birth of their (4) new grandchildren. We would love to see pictures of the quadruplets. Hope the family is doing well!  Mary Lauderdale had gall bladder surgery November 1st. We wish her a speedy recovery.
