Well, what can be said? It was another very successful and fun filled Buses
by the Beach camping event. Bus Boo 2007 was a riot.

Patty and I had a great time and I don't think we saw Jack more than 30 min.
the entire weekend - he was constantly out playing or exploring. Thank you
to James, Keegan, Cody, and others for making him feel so welcome and
included. He was happy he made new friends. Overall Jack's first bus event
was a huge success - he had a great time.

The Costumes were great (the "Flying Tea Bag" - don't even ask), the Chili
was awesome (loved that Chili casserole), The buses were beautiful (that 66'
Splitie was a real treat), and although I didn't sample any fry down this
time I hear it was as tasty and interesting as usual. The Tye-Dye event was
new and fun too - I ruined my new pants but it was worth it. For those of us
who have never done it before we were amazed at what we created. Jack wore
his shirt to school today.

The turn out was great. There were a lot of new faces - that's very cool. It
was great to see old friends - we were lucky enough to also make several new
friends. There were also some of you were sorely missed (John Meeks, Cecil,
Scotty, and others). To those real troopers who showed even though their bus
was home "sick" - I wish your buses the quickest or recoveries.

Ultimately it was a great weekend with our "bus family".

We made it home late on Sunday. It was a nice drive home. I had Monday off
work and used that to put things away and clean out the bus. I'm hoping it's
not for the season.

Apparently I had too much of a good time because Tuesday morning I threw my
back out and spent the entire day in bed. Oh well - it's always hard
returning to "real life" after having such a great three days. We look
forward to seeing everyone in the spring.
