  • Part Two of camping trip.

    Part Two:  Camping trip to Norris Dam State Park

    Old and young alike seemed to enjoy our time of camping.  Here is the oldest with the youngest.

      

    I enjoyed the afternoon that some of us went out site seeing.   Here is the Norris Dam from the bottom.

    We toured an old Grist Mill close to the dam…

    …as well as a museum.   I didn’t take many pictures of it but I did have to include the little Wilcox and Gibbs sewing machine.   It is a close model to the one I have.

    The other picture I took while touring was of my bother Oren Jr.  I heard him tell two of our nephews, “Now that is something I would like to own!”   I never could figure out what the contraption was.  Love the way the sun is shining on the side of his face!  He reminds me so much of my father here.

    Back at camp a lot of action is going on.
    Mother taking a brisk walk with Sheila and Coleen.

    Sheri and Parla playing volleyball.

    A game of “Ticket to Ride” going on.

    Some “pickin and singing”!

     ”Four Square”

     Emorie sat patiently watching but wanted to get in on the action.

    Her daddy Aaron said, “Why Not?”  What a good daddy!

     

    Maxwell and Brock playing “?”  I forget what this game is called.

    Timmy and Ben watching Aaron taking good care of his girlie!

    Jodie and Julian sharing a moment while twin Justin looks on.

    Jeremy and Cheryl taking Bo for a stroll.

    We sure missed all those who could not be with us.  Maybe next year!
