Another sleepy morning for us.   Up a little after 8:00.   Was foggy, but cleared up by around 9:00.   

Not much going on - took a walk around the campground and had lunch outside on the picnic table.

   After lunch we hopped on the motorcycle and went to the Old Log House about 4 miles from our campground.   Owned by the same family dating back to 1762.   They converted it from a residence to a quaint gift shop.   Great little place to visit.

  After that we went back to the flea market to check out a couple things and from there went to the grocery store.  

Then it was back home and played a round of Mexican Train Dominoes.  Dennis tried, but couldn't quite beat me :)).  

Dinner was chicken tenders on the grill, fresh corn on the cob (from the Farmers Market), rice and a salad.  After dinner Dennis made a great fire and we fixed s'mores.   We missed our friends not being here with us :((.    Then our usual - a little TV and to bed.

Good Morning Everyone!!   We sure are getting lazy -  8:00 again!!   Oh well, we are on vacation you know :)).

The blogger at work!

So, you know earlier I said we had been to the flea market!!   We didn't tell you what we had been looking at did we??    Well guess what we went back and bought today????     Two - 8ft kayaks!!!    Brand new and at a great price!!! 

 

  Yes, I think we have lost our minds and are reverting back to our childhood, but that's ok!!!   Then we just had to worry about how we were going to transport them :)).   But, you know Dennis, where there's a will there's a way!!!!   We were in the Escape, so he laid down the back seats and the front passenger seat - and guess what - they both fit in there like a glove.   The only problem was - where was I going to sit????    The guy at the flea market said he would give us some rope to tie me on top the car - ha ha!!!   I thought a better solution would be for me to drive and Dennis could squeeze in the little space in the far back next to the Kayaks!!   So that's what we did and off we went back to the campground!!  

 

 Ate some lunch and decided we would head to Shawnee State Park where we had taken hike the other day.   Dennis decided to do a little rearranging - strapping one kayak to the top of the car and the other one inside. 

 At least that way we could both sit up front.  So, off we went to the lake at the park for our "Maiden Voyage"!!   Rented a couple of life preservers, hopped on and started paddling !!   We looked like a couple of "seasoned veterans" out there :))!!!   At least we didn't fall in!!!   About an hour in our ride we heard thunder, so we made a beeline for shore.   Didn't want to be a sitting duck you know!!     

                                         On the other side of the lake for a break. Oreos and water!

 

 Got everything back in the car and off we went on the hunt for life vests!!   Being in a small town that proved to be quite the challenge.   After running all over the Bedford area, we had to end up driving 30 miles to Altoona, PA to a Dicks Sporting Goods store where we finally found what we wanted!!!   So now we're ready for our next expedition!!!

By then it was about 6:30 and starving!!   We just happened to be on the same road that Slick's Restaurant is one, so we stopped for dinner.   One things for sure, you won't leave there hungry!!!   Then it was back home to Buttercup!!   Dennis built a nice fire and we sat around listening to Saturday night at the Grand Ole Opry online.   WSM radio online, if you're interested!!  Dennis brought home his dessert (Boston Cream Pie) and ate it around the campfire!!   I had some ice cream!!  

What a great day!!   See ya tomorrow :))).
