Camping at Jellystone

This past weekend Marked the occurrence of something that has been years in the making. Friends of our go camping a few weekends every year and they have been asking us to join them. Jay's position has been that the only camping he does is at the Hilton. Our friend, Jim, approached him asking if Jay and I would bring the camper up on Friday with their kids. He and his wife, Krista, had to work until noon on Saturday and could use our help. The only problem was that I had an Uppercase Living party on Friday night and could not go up until Saturday too. Shelby was working on Saturday and could not go up at all. So Jay, on his own went up to the campground with 2 of our friends kids and the other 2 couples that go too. I noticed Jay had called my cell after 11 on Friday night and I was concerned he wasn't having a good time. We got a few phone calls on our ride up and I was wondering what shape I would find Jay in when we arrived. As we came around the circle in the camp we noticed signs for a yard sale... at lot #15- that was Jim and Krista's lot. There were all kinds of things on display for sale, there was even a box of free stuff. All the people already up at the campground were having some fun and pretended they were selling all of Jim and Krista's stuff. They had even gone to a hardware store and bought real signs for the truck windows.. It was really funny, Especially since I didn't realize it was a joke at first. When we got settled in I noticed Jay had commandeered a recliner and seemed totally at home in the camp. We had a great day just hanging out with friends, eating dinner out in the open and celebrating another friend's birthday. So, does Jay think he will go up next year for a whole weekend? The jury is still out on that one.
