Back to Work

We came to Camp Kingswood in Minnetrista MN on Saturday the 14^th  and will be here until early August, 3 weeks total.  We have been working with 2 other couples and a solo RVer, with another solo RVer coming to join us later this weekend.  This camp is in the western fringe of the Minneapolis metro area, and it is quiet out here (except for a nearby shooting range).  We have been doing a lot of cleanup work: windows, fans, woods, flower beds and hiking trails.

We’ve also had some non-work activities including just sitting and socializing, going to church and then out for lunch, getting ice cream at Culvers, and a trip into Mpls for dinner at Broadway Pizza and then a free performance by the River Rats – a water skiing club – on the Mississippi River.  We borrowed a passenger van from the camp and Bob gave everyone a good tour of the new 35W bridge and the U of MN football stadium on our way home.

We took time on Friday to take Sophia and Olivia shopping for their birthdays.  Grandpa and Olivia went to the Build-A-Bear store and made a nice brown bear named Sugar.  Grandma and Sophie went shopping at Justice and Sophie picked out a nice outfit and pair of jeans.  We then went back to their house and saw the pictures of their vacation to Colorado.  Great pictures!  They especially enjoyed the horse back riding in the mountains.
