The Birthday Bash

We choose the rallies that we go to for reasons.  In the case of this past weekend it was for utter relaxation, letting the kids play and have a little freedom from mom and dad, and lots of food and drink.  This trip was one with the moho (motor home) and was the widespread debut of it since completion of all the updates and repairs.  By coincidence, we got a lovely spot at the end of the row so that all could see it in it's 1977 glory.  It was also nice that the end spot had a nice breeze!


A day at the Bash starts with a full-spread breakfast prepared by the hosts and volunteers.  There may or may not be activities throughout the day.  For our family personally, it included a nap everyday in the afternoon.  Reading, bike riding, and socializing in the meantime.  This was one of those great rallies where we needed to go nowhere.  Everything we needed was on-site.


Thanks to everyone involved in putting the event together that made it so that my family could really concentrate on being a family and having a great time.  And for being able to visit Airstream friends until all hours of the night after the kids were asleep.

Lots of kid crafts

Food and socialization for all ages.  A requirement at the rallies that we go to.

No, it's not a water bottle convention.  There was just a lot of consumption at this rally be it water or otherwise due to the heat.

Some relief for the little ones.  There were a number of water toys bought for young and old.

The "Bash Cab".  It ushered folks from place to place and allowed everyone to see the full expanse of Cooper's Lake Campground.
