It's been a long time since my last post, but I've been busy!! Chris and I headed off for Labor Day weekend to visit my parents at their new KOA campground business in Visalia, California. They actually live in a house on the property. It's pretty much in the middle of nowwhere. Timbucktwo, Egypt, I tell ya. To give you a little bearing, Visalia is about forty - five minutes past Fresno. Yep, I told you, IN THE MIDDLE OF NOW WHERE!! The whole time we were getting closer to my parents' campground, I'm thinking to myself; Mom, Dad - What were you EVEN Thinking?!?! The campground is actually in the outskirts of Visalia.
Their campground is really cool though - They have log cabins, campground sites, RV sites, a swimming pool, general store, a playground and a recreation room with a game center, complete with video games and pool tables. My parents each own a golf cart in which they toole around the campground with, so Chris and I had to check these babies out!! We had a blast! As we were driving around the campground, we stumbled upon a tether ball playground!! So for sure, we hopped out of the golf cart and did a little Napolean Dynamite action!! I almost beat Chris, but he threw the tether ball over my head and CHEATED and won!! "You idiot, gosh!" Anyway we had a great time with my parents and grandparents.
Could this be tether ball heaven?! Flippin' sweet!!!!
In the actual city of Visalia, however, they have 2 malls, (bonus) and every stinking restaurant that you can think of!! (including my personal fav's, Mimi's Cafe and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts!!) My parents royally spoiled us the whole time and I thoroughly enjoyed every waking moment!! (especially the day trip to the mall with the "get what ever you like" ticket for the kids AND chris and I!! Let's just say my parent's dropped a pretty penny in American Eagle Outfitters and Old Navy!! Oh, the kids would like to also thank Stride Rite shoes for the killer light up tennies) Anyway, we had a great time - unfortunately, we don't have any pictures because my lovely boys decided that it would be fun to take the memory card out of my digital camera and rip the micro chip off of it!!! Oh well, once I can save up for a new memory card, (I don't even know how much they cost) I will post more pics of the family. I googled the pics of my parents' campground in Visalia; yes those are actual pics of their campground and amenities, uh, minus the tether ball heaven - oh and, actually, I think I saw Napolean walking around the campground, for sure! (At least he looked like Napolean Dynamite; I think he was from Idaho too! ;) ) FYI: My dad built those cabins with his own bare hands - and the help of my sometimes good and kinda trusty bro', bubba. Bubbs, ya know I love ya eventhough you act like a schmoe!! (You KNOW what I mean!)
