Henry, Audrey and Katie arrived mid-afternoon with many exciting stories about their cruise. I know they had a wonderful week sailing the high seas! Henry now knows there are a lot of great things to do on a cruise and that cruise boats do not sink! Audrey and Katie went home to go to school and work while Henry stayed in in Lynchburg for his last week of spring break.

Today is Pokémon Day! Grandpotter thinks he has enough data left this month to play for a day so the three of us headed downtown where Henry knows there is a lot of Pokémon action. We walked around downtown mining stops, capturing Pokémon, fighting Gyms and hatching eggs until Henry's battery was drained and Grandpotter's was down to 5 percent! Along the way, the weather went from sunny to a downpour in 30 seconds and we had to duck into an insurance office to avoid getting soaking wet! We were so busy, we forgot to take a photo so we took the Pokémon photo below on Wednesday at the lake.

It is the day of Henry's first camping trip! We left for the lake, got the camper set up, ate lunch and helped unload some dock building supplies all before 2:00 p.m. Then we put the motorboat in the water and went down to see the dam and fish a few coves...no luck. We headed back up the Lake and stopped at SML State Park. Henry fished off the dock before we headed up the trail only to read on a sign that fishing was not allowed. OOPS! We then went up to Moosie's for dinner and arrived back at the sail club just in time to put the boat away and to build a campfire before dark. We needed a fire to make S'mores! The S'mores were great and Henry showed us how to explode a marshmallow in the fire!

We sat around the campfire, watching the light fade over the lake and the stars come out. We sang songs and by the time the fire burned down and we doused it with water, it was time for bed. A really busy day!
We were soon tucked in our beds and fast asleep. Henry had a good night, didn't poop in the port-potty (it is not allowed) and proved he is a great camper!
Thursday
In the morning he enjoyed his camping food choice for breakfast, Lucky Charms!
Grandma and Henry hung out this morning while Grandpa helped with dock building. One of the things they did was put together a complicated 300 piece puzzle! WOW!!
After lunch we cleaned up the camper and headed for Lynchburg.
Friday
Spring break is coming to a close and Henry has school on Monday. This afternoon, we are meeting his Dad and sister in Danville so he can get back to North Carolina following two fun filled weeks!
Keep enjoying those grandkids!
