We had a very small group this trip, but sometimes.. that's ok. :) We had excellent weather and a pretty relaxing time overall. Although, getting there started as a challenge! We had planned to leave on Thursday evening, spend the night halfway somewhere and get into camp midmorning on Friday... as it was--the truck and trailer got stuck in the field at Grandma's ~where we have to park our trailer. It took 2 1/2 hours to get it unstuck and by then it was midnight. We opted to stay the night at Grandma's and leave early in the morning.. So we got into camp Friday evening. Oh well. No riding that day. Saturday we needed to run into town for some groceries, etc and I decided to look at sand tires--my bike needed different front tires, so we also picked those up. We FINALLY get back to camp, and discover that we need different lug nuts for those front tires..so BACK into town Nath goes.. by then someone else needs ice anyway. After getting all that taken care of, Cam starts his bike and says 'my bike is running funny, and the throttle is sticking Dad...' So, he looks at the bike and discovers some .. problems.. A trek is made BACK into town for parts. Eventually, everything is fixed and it's dinner time. Sooo--->no ride on Saturday either. *sigh* oh well. Sunday we eventually got out on the sand and enjoyed two great rides. :)

Just when you think your teenager has driven you to The Edge....
Cameron came home the other day from school and very quietly said.. "I have some really good news Mom.." I guess they just took some sort of Science Placement test in school not too long ago, and he tells me that he placed very well. He placed in the top 50 of 600 kids and placed in the top of his class. This allows him to take advantage of honors science classes. I am so happy about his achievement and so is he. This is a guy who HATES to do homework and pretty consistently doesn't turn it in, a guy who has to be constantly reminded about school work and to keep his grades up. This boosted his confidence by MILES..
His futures so bright - he's gotta wear shades..... ;) Way to go buddy!!

...on the adaptability of women...
In an e mail from a great friend:
~~Women are Angels.. when someone breaks our wings, we continue to fly... on a broomstick~~
We are flexible like that.
;) made me chuckle a little...

Teen Boys
Soo.. Cameron has his first "Real" job, which started last weekend. He is now the Official Cleaner of The Cat Hospital. He is very motivated to do a good job, which I was pleasantly happy to watch in action... because he shows NONE of that personality at home... ;) He is enjoying the independence of having his own income, planning saving spending ~ lol! Plus, you have to love a teen boy who isn't afraid to clean a toilet and clean it well... Good job Cameron!
