I scream, you scream ... no one actually screamed

But the campground did sponsor an ice cream social for all campers in the meeting room. There was no charge, but they did ask that participants make a small donation to KOA Care Camps, the official charity of the KOA Owners Association.
The "the KOA Campground Owners Association created the Care Camps Trust — to help children who have cancer enjoy care-free time focusing on fun, friends and activities at sleep-away camp instead of on their illness."
If you want to learn more, I've included the link below.
I think this is a great thing for KOA to do and was glad to donate in return for a bowl of ice cream and sundae toppings.
Tomorrow we will be packing up and heading home. Our next camping trip is in about 3 weeks. In between, Son2 and I will spend 4 days in a cottage at Kure Beach fishing and hanging out. We would have camped but no sites were available.
I hope your weekend went well. Did you do anything fun and interesting?
KOA Care Camps is the official charity of the KOA Owners Association and offers camping experiences for children battling cancer. Learn more today.

I'm sure we will. This has been an annual event. Sometimes we camped, and sometimes we stayed at a hotel on the beach. This is the first time we've rented a cottage. With him starting his new job in DC on October 1, this may be our last such trip for a while.

That was a great event to have for the campers. Nothing exciting going on here. Enjoy your Labor Day holiday.

That's a great idea - the Care Camps, I mean. It's not a holiday weekend here but we spent it with my BIL. It's always an enjoyable few days.
