The weather was supposed to be 55 and rainy on Friday but we planned on going anyhow, thats why we have a camper and not a tent. We'll by the time we pulled out of Omaha on Friday it was 70 and sunny, BONUS... (We were at site 154)
I got a second bigger dutch oven over Christmas and really want to start doing more with the dutch ovens, the food is ALWAYS so good cooked in the dutch oven. We made it a double stacker on Saturday night, peach surprise in the smaller dutch oven and cheesy augratin potatoes in the larger one. They both cooked up pretty well using the stacking process. You have to be aware of your heat and length of time to cook when you go stacking ovens and both of these called for about the same heat and about the same time so it all worked out well. The cobbler could have used 5 less minutes and the potatoes maybe 5 more but part of the fun of cooking with the ovens is learning as you go. It was very quiet at supper and everyone liked it so it was good. I want ONE more so I can gook three courses at once for meals so we'll be shopping for another one soon... Probably looking for one right between the sizes I have now.
We had a guest on this camping trip, the first time this guest has come along. Brandon came along with Alyssa and I believe they both actually had a pretty good time, bike riding, watching movies, sitting by the campfire. The possibility exists that they may have been a little boared or at least Brandon may have been but I think its more understood that part of camping out is SITTING AROUND with your feet up not doing a whole lot.... That understanding probably comes with age.... LOL... Pat, Brian and Noah stopped out for a bit on Saturday afternoon as well, its always good to visit with them. I know their camper is coming home soon so maybe next time they can join us. :-)We didn't get a chance to thow the fishing lines in the water this trip, we were going to but noticed a LOT of FISH carcases around the lake we were set up by. Upon further review this lake and one other at the park really suffered from the freeze this last winter and basically we were told that almost all of the fish in these two lakes died off due to lack of oxygen and the hard LONG winter freeze. With my patience for fishing I wouldnt have lasted long without at least getting a nibble or two every now and then... :-) I guess the plan is to "shock" a couple of the other lakes at the park and bring some fish into these spots... ANYHOW, if you at Louisville check in to see which lakes will have fish and which ones wont before you go about your business...
As it was Easter Sunday we did plan to attend Easter services Sunday morning. Our initial plan was to drive to Plattsmouth for the 8am Service. After a late start and a wrong turn we found it to be about 5 minutes to start and we were still 20 minutes away according to Maggie. PLAN B - a couple phone calls and a re-route and we ended up in MANLEY Nebraska (actually closer to the park than our original plan) for the 9am service. VERY nice little small town church in Rural America, we had a nice service and Valerie and I were VERY glad we made the extra effort to make it happen...
After the service it was back to the park to pack up then off to Judy and Daves for easter lunch, easter egg hunt and all the fun that goes with bringing the family together...
Sunday was a pretty long day as once we got home we cleaned up the camper and ended up taking it back to the storage facility, but the time we made it back home it was close to sunset and we were all pretty worn out... MUCH more relaxing on weekends that done include extra plans on Sunday but it was all worth it..
Happy Easter and Safe Travels, until next time... Bc
