All I Can Say Is, "Swing Wide!"

We returned Tuesday from a camping trip to Chincoteague on Friday through Tuesday. We are grateful for good weather most of the time and great times together. Although we were busy the whole time, we relaxed because of the change in routine.
Our Camper:
This is the camper attached to the van. Notice the bikes: one in van, one in camper, two on back of van, three on back of camper. Three beds fold out, and a couch which pushes out can fold into a bed. With everything folded out, it really has a lot more room than it looks like here.
The licence plate.
Here's a video of the inside when it is set up.
Saturday:
We rode our bikes around the Asateague wildlife loop and took a break at the beach. As we all huddled together to protect ourselves from the wind and blowing sand, Daddy read us The Cross Triumphant which is a sequel to Titus, a Comrade of the Cross and Stephen, a Soldier of the Cross.
Walking on the beach. Buddies. A nice group shot.

This pony has curly hair.
We ate grass fed and finished steak for supper.
Sunday:
We visited a local Baptist church before relaxing in the camper and on the beach.

It rained quite a bit on Monday so we spent some time at an ice cream shop and visiting some shops.

Tuesday:
In the morning we rode our bikes around the wildlife loop again and came quite close to a wild pony. The pony was standing at first, and then it just layed right down. How wild are these ponys really

Jeannine learned to ride her bike there. Here she is.
Packing up requires teamwork
In case you are wondering, the title of this post comes from what we say to Daddy every time we go around a bend with the camper attached to the van.
