Granddaughter receives First Communion

After the ceremony Mary and I took off to check out our favorite camping areas. Looks like most of our tours will be statewide with the price of gas skyrocketing up. We went to Derge Park first, they have a host but no campers were there this day. Then we headed up to the Dells and Mirror Lake State Park. We bought our State Park Sticker and checked out the campers. About 30 campers with a lot of tent campers. It was nearly 2:00 pm and we decided to have a bite to eat. Since the Casino was nearby we drove there and split a BLT. Then as long as we were there we thought "what the heck" put in a few bucks and see what happens. Well I was quite lucky and came out $25.10 ahead of the game. I decided to quit and move on. Mary also was $8.00 to the good. Wondering around the Hotel Lobby we saw the Klement Sausages that appear at the Milwaukee Brewer games. I hi fived with them then we headed out. Wished I had the camera with me, I think the kids would have enjoyed see us with the Klement Products. Took off for Devils Lake State Park and check it out. Lots of cars at the Park Office but we did not see any campers. We only drove thru one camper area however. Decided to take the Merrimac Ferry across the Wisconsin River then head up to see daughter Heidi. Had to wait at the Ferry Dock as there were quite a few cars ahead of us. The ice cream stand was open but we did not buy a cone. Crossed the river and headed toward Lodi and Harmony. Saw a T@B in Harmony Grove but did not stop at the peoples house. Checked out Heidi's painted walls then departed for home. It was one busy day but exciting.
