*a really good trailer heater.
*one backed up drain. (poor wubs)
*one HUGE hike.
*a GINORMOUS amount of live, yes, LIVE snails brought back to the campsite on a dinner plate. (which i later dumped)
*one sad little boy who watched his FAVORITE camo croc float out into the ocean. (seriously one really sad max!)
*explored old bunkers up in the hills. kids and men thought the dark tunnels were fascinating. some of the woman(me),not so impressed. long dark tunnels, with places for people to hide and SCARE THE BEANS out of me (TAMMY) freaks me out!!
