We began our trip on Friday in Southern Illinois at the family farm. What was meant to be relaxation turned into two days of hard labor. We built a flagstone patio, dug up a septic system and ran a rotor rooter. Mor fun then pokin' pigs in a barrel! We also enjoyed catching up with everybody at the family reunion.
Andrea and Brent's place in Indianapolis is our last stop in civilization before the camping begins. We have been living it up at their beautiful new house. Brent and Mike built a beer pong table yesterday prior to an awesome Labor Day party.
We now walk (and drive) into the wild.
Nuthin like pokin' pigs! Who needs a barrel when u can just pok'em and listen to them squeel. Mandy, don't let him work you so. Well, safe travels and keep postin I luv it.-Clint

ReplyDeleteThe pictures are fantastic. They are something tangible to hold on to when you return, however the memories you will have for the rest of your life and they are the real prize. Looks like you are having the time of your lives. Can't wait to hear all of the stories when you get home. Attacked by a heard of donkies? Can't say that has ever happenened to me! Chad
