The Lundy 5

The campground had a nice Mother's Day breakfast, service, then lunch!  They even gave roses to the moms.  In lieu of a vase (of course when we lived in a house we had 18 extras - that we never used), a ketchup bottle worked just fine.  (As a matter of fact, I *might* have forgotten to take the roses down when we moved from South to North Carolina, and they didn't even spill!)  The kids surprised me with a little a lot of chocolate! They know me so well.  I treasured these, right up until I ate them all, the next day...

Happy Mother's Day to my mom and their grandmom!  We love you and miss you already. So glad we got to see you more this winter and spring! I used this lovely Hundred Percent Gorgeous plopper from DSP's We Are Family CD .

Carolina Landing is one of our favorite Thousand Trails parks.  Not really the amenities, and there's nothing nearby, but the people are so friendly and the Friday potlucks are so yummy!  We arrived on a Friday and were happy to learn the potlucks were still on.  It was nice to see Miss Lois and others we knew from last year.  Of course they remembered Matt especially.  He has a mostly rotten way of embedding himself in your memory.  The roads are a bit iffy, but we liked our spot.  And the pool wasn't open yet, but the lake is never closed.  Even Jack the dog got to swim!  We did have some trouble, though, trying to get towels and swim suits to dry on the clothespine, in the rain...

We stuck around Orlando a bit longer than most snowbirds, so the always-completely-full-active park turned into a peaceful haven of rest - well, except that it was way too hot already in May! But we ended up with a shady, triple site surrounded by jungle that was perfect for relaxing and cookouts - well, except...  :)  

Five RVing families got to have a start of the summer party at Cici's thanks to some other great RVing families! There was a contest on Facebook for pictures posted of the super moon and since we were at the pool with four other families, one of them took the pic with all the kids together. There were great pictures of the moon posted too, but we all begged for "likes" on the picture and said the kids would get ice cream with the cash prize if ours won. Lots of people "liked" it, but alas we got second place. BUT the Mulac family decided to give a second place prize, so we won! THEN the Thomas family, who won first, generously donated their prize to us as well for a party instead of ice cream! Throughout the voting and the prize giving, our nomadic family spread across the country was so supportive and fun! And the pizza buffet and ice cream with lotsa toppings was indeed a great way to kick off summer! See?! :)

Happy Nomadiversary to us! We've been on the road for two years today!  How better to celebrate that (or really anything) than cake?! The Grands came to visit and even brought Uncle Ryan, who drove down from Pensacola.  Our cakes so far have been themed and this year we chose the Arizona desert where we like to take drives.  The kids say you have to use your imagination (and pretend this truck is a Chevy instead of a Ford).  Last year it was our truck & RV in the Mojave Desert !   So after two years, are we tired? Ready to settle down? No way!  No end in sight for this traveling family!
