Sleep... What Sleep ?

Good Morning Sweetwater KOA !

Let's get the questions answered first. Crazysister was not the last to arrive... "Spawn" of Crazysister, Nathan, arrived at Uncle Bud's at 6:00 pm. He was the last, and we promptly left at 6:15. Our first stop was the Cracker Barrel in West Asheville. We pulled into Sweetwater KOA at midnight... and were bedded down by about 1:00 am. Let me say that you don't know family until you have camped with family... but Good News... we were all still talking this morning. I ain't never camped before... but this here campground is "purty nice". Miss Don't Touch Me in My Sleeping Bag, Wendy, slept in Uncle Bud's truck. Crazysister landed in the back seat of the Excursion. Spawn slept on a pop-up hammock in the "yard." Evidently, he heard a few howling noices in the night and got out the industrial strength razor blade. Jeanie, Grayson, Katie, Uncle Bud and myself reclined in the camper. As I type this, we have all showered in the 'bath' house ... and are sitting at our picnic table. The sun is rising on a new day... and you know, I think that we are doing pretty well for 2 - 3 hours sleep. We have a few pictures that I will try to download soon. Next stop is the Nashville KOA where we will drop the camper and head into Music City USA.

Could someone please refrain mom aka "crazy sister" from jay walking. She is not very good in crowded places, and she thinks they will stop for her. Nate! control your mother! And how do I see pictures? Katie, try and keep everyone under control please!

Jasmine woke me at 4:00am this morning, so got up and took her outside and saw the reason she had got me up. There was a deer across the street in the neighbors yard!

You know I was kinda wondering why Kim got up the first morning complaining about her "lack" of sleep. I had slept very well. It wasnt until a couple days after when i discovered what had been causing her lack of sleep. Last night, at around midnight (1:00 for the folks back home) she hustled and i repeat hustled my blind and innocent mother and I out of our confy spot on the fold out couch. The trade? Kim and Katie got our spot and we got their's- the dining room table. I slept fairly well last night, and had no problems upon waking up this morning nor the ride to Kansas. But now as i sit here publishing this comment, my back is sore to the point that i can't even bend over. I will definetley be pumping up the air matress tonight because you will not be finging my scroney rear-end on "the dining room table" anymore during this trip. Thanks a bunch aunt Kim. I love you too. I would also like to think my mother for making the hustle uhh I mean deal go through, and also my aching back for inspiring me to sit her and leave this ridiculousley long comment about my feelings.
