Air Force Wins the Game!

The Air Force Academy Fam Camp is a great campground. We had our first experience (which there are alot on this trip) leveling the camper on a very unlevel camp site. It wasn't quite level, but a good start. We layed out 'grass', rolled out the awning (now it finally works) lit up the lights-including the palm tree, figured out the satellite tv set up and the got the internet working. oh yes, we also put out the great chairs that were given to us...love those chairs! Dad and Mom, Mike and Maureen, Kay and Julie and the boys all came over for a BBQ. Another first..love it! We have had quite a few people comment on our palm tree. We will post a pic as soon as we transfer it.
We went to the Academy football game on saturday and watched Air Force clobber the other team....72-0. Boring game, but loved the view from the Sup's box. It was good seeing Paula and Mike Gould. They are perfect for the job and, of course are enjoying every bit of it.
Also got to see some old friends....one of Skip's company mates from West Point, Paula and Wayne, and Ron and Mary Scott, friends that were stationed in Japan with us. Eli, our nephew, spent the night for 'camping with a movie' night. He did really well for a 5 year old. It was an action packed week.
Off for the Grand Tetons next.
