Los Flemings

This past weekend Sam and I joined some of our new friends from UUFR for a camping trip at Cliffs of the Neuse State Park. We were the first of our party to arrive on Friday afternoon and had a nice time hiking around in the balmy fall weather. On one dirt road we found deer and racoon tracks. The rest of our group started arriving around 4 p.m. and by that night we had 7 families in our group campsite. Sam was having a blast running around in the woods with all the kids and then having a big campfire with lots of marshmallows to roast.



Saturday's weather was just ideal and we explored some more of the park and then joined in on the afternoon fishing excursion. Saturday's dinner was potluck with lots of good stuff being shared. Then we battened down our gear with a forecast of rain for early Sunday morning - that arrived on schedule about 5 a.m. Fortunately, it stopped long enough for folks to get breakfast around one last campfire and then packed up for the trip home. As we were driving back to Cary Sam asked, "when can we go camping with our church friends again?"


All of this activity also gave us an opportunity to give Mame some study time. She had clinicals Thursday, Friday and Saturday - so we wouldn't have seen much of her anyway. And then she spent Sunday getting ready for a Monday morning test. The good news is that Saturday was her best clinical day yet - the new rallying cry is "remember 11/11".
