Camp Shaw, Timberland Wi 8/8/08

This weekend we spent most of our time at the Shaw cabin in Timberland. Friday we arrived around 7 p.m. Antie and Uncle Kevin were already there getting supper ready with Grandma and Papa. We were thrilled to learn that we finally have electricity up there!! Soon there will be well & septic and we'll be feeling all the comforts of home! In the meantime, we're happy to bring the camper up!! Anyway, we spent an hour catching up, eating, setting up, etc... Later that night Becky and I headed to the Timberland Pub to meet the new owners, who were an absolute delight!!! :) We played the slots for a short time and headed back to camp. We needed our rest for the day ahead. Saturday was Dan's 34th birthday. We also had Lilly's birthday the previous week and Kevin's is on Monday, 8/11...lots of birthdays in August!! The Zappetillo picnic was at Scott & Peggy Krueger's on Saturday at noon. We had some good food there and hung out with relatives for awhile. After the picnic we went back to camp and the boys took of for a round of golf. The girls took the kids for a much-needed dip in Horseshoe lake. It was super hot out...but by the end of the swim we were all shivering!! We spent the rest of the day/night at camp, visiting with family and friends. Dan decided he wanted to go to the bar for some pool so Becky and Kevin joined him. They had fun beating whoever was there...they must've let him win since it was his birthday!! (just kidding, honey) Later that night I was fortunate enough to see a meteor shower in the sky...it was mesmerizing. I even tried to wake Dan up but he was down for the count. Sunday we did the usual packing up and headed back home. It was a wonderful weekend, and so nice to see those we miss so much. :( Hopefully we'll head north again soon! Or they'll come down our way!!
