We finally arrived and Olivia and Dorothy pay for the two reserved parking spaces.
Julianne backs the truck then Dorothy backs her jeep in.This place is gorgeous and the air no smog. I started a beer stew for dinner. Here the recipe.
This is what it will look like but don't worry Julianne I used alcohol free beer. It looks good and baby girl it is. He has tried using various beers alcohol and alcohol free ones. I made the bread last night. We also made several as well instead of buying them. I wanted to know what was in them. We figured we have a nice spinach salad, tri tip that we bbq last night with red baked potato. We just have to start the oven to cook the potatoes. We can do that. Thanks Auntie Jane. Who would like a beer while we wait or water. We brought lots of water in the ice chests , cold beer alcohol free and regular, ice tea and various wines alcohol and ones without. These two ice chests that were in the back of the pickup has them. We can go fishing tomorrow , the price for licenses sure has increased. J everything has increased. I recall as a kid we never had to get licenses until we were in High school. My dad would say as long as we didn't get caught it was okay. He made sure my mother and him had licenses just in case they asked for them. Did you guys ever get caught mom? No but close and it would of been your uncle Tommy's fault too. He said it outloud and Frankie and I tackled him wrestled with him. The park ranger just thought we were being kids. After that my mother said no more Frank stop being cheap. Mom that sounds like papi.
We were drinking our beers waiting for the lunch to be reheated and thr potatoes to be cooked so we could eat lunch.
I can recall Rachel and I were in a tent together and our parents were another one. My dad forgot to raise the ice chests up so the bears wouldn't get it. We went to the restroom to use it and returned one of the ice chest was clawed all the contents that were the meat and ice cream were gone. You could see their paws in the ice cream and wrappers all over. Our mother was highly upset and sent our father alone to replace everything and a new ice chest which was brand new. Were your parents nearby? Yes but then we didn't use guns so they screamed and the bears just looked at them they said and continued to eat Dorothy. Just say we all were scare to sleep that night. We all were in tents with sticks and rocks just in case. We could of seriously got hurt. Back then we didn't think of things like guns and safety as much.
The food was ready and we all sat around the table serving ourselves, eating and drinking.
We brought a guitar we can sing.
We finished eating and cleaned up . We went for a slow walk enjoying the sun being out. We took several breaks for Jane. Jane and I returned and the others went further.
J you okay? Yeah sorry we had to come back so soon. J this vacation is yours too. I am with you no matter what. We have made it this far with the odds and we will continue. Maur I need to use the restroom. Okay.
I helped her up and she used the restroom. The others returned running back.
I won. Whatever babe.
They came inside and got some water to drink. Olivia had beat everyone . She told everyone to pay up 50.00. They paid her in cash or wrote her check. Jane and I laughed.
Dorothy got the guitar out and started playing. We sang various songs. I always like to hear Olivia and baby girl sing. They are very modest but sing beautiful. Eric stirred the stew and add the ingredients when the meat was cooked and taken out the oven. We has a green egg too but he didn't want to risk it while we were gone.
Okay everyone sit down. Eric and I will serve you.
You already have your beverages.We tasted it was indeed delicious. We has seconds on the stew which made Eric smile.
Maur and I cleaned up. We decided to play poker for fun. We finally got the luggage out so we could all get ready for bed.It was still daylight but knew it wouldn't be for much longer. Julianne, Dorothy. Olivia and Eric were going to sleep there. We got ready to sleep here.
We all said good night and turned off the lights. We made sure we all had enough blankets because it was going to get cold tonight.
We all said goodnight like we were the Waltons TV show. Maur and I kissed goodnight. We all were tired because how early we were up. It didn't take long for Maura and I to fall asleep.
