The Zucchini is gone!!!

The other night we stayed up until 2pm making bread and butter pickles. It was a process but they taste pretty good and you can't even tell it is zucchini and not cucumbers.

So the zucchini is officially gone. Every single last bit of it.

I made some chocolate zucchini bread last week and it was wonderful. We are still eating on the second loaf this week. The kids love it, mainly because they have no clue it has zucchini in it. Well, Caroline knows but she is keeping the secret. Everytime we cut a piece she gives me this eye saying, "I know what is in it, mom" without saying it outloud. I am really surprised that she is keeping the secret! But so far so good.

We are off to the river for the rest of the week. It is in our attempt to cure the kids of their lice that they acquired when we went to see Wall-e in the movie theater. Their heads were full of it and I didn't notice until a full two weeks after the movies that they had it. This has been a nightmare here and I don't think I will ever recover from the amount of laundry I am doing daily to keep up with disinfecting the sheets, blankets, towels, etc. I hope we never get it again. So apparently they don't live more than 24 hours off the host so in our attempt to rid the kids of it we are moving from house to trailer in 48 hour increments. We were in the house here first for 48 hours, then the trailer at the river for 2 days and then back here for 2 days and now we are heading back to the river and will just stay there until Sunday.

Jenn, I don't think you know but mom does. The kids when they get to the river, run to the camp store and get the schedule of events. They have something going on almost every hour all day long. From the biggest splash contest at the pool, to waterslide races, to watermelon seed spitting contests (which Kenneth is now the reining champion for the year in the adult category), to paddleboat fun, to kids arts and crafts to movie night to hayrides, to train rides, oh the list goes on.....and on.....and on. So they get the schedule of the events for the week or weekend and sit down and pour over it and schedule their weekend. Last weekend they didn't have time to go see George or have lunch at Mom's or take a boatride with Bob. Nope they had too much to do. Which is fine because I don't hear, "I'm bored mom" and now that we moved campsites we are closer to the pavillion where this all takes place!

Okay, off to finish laundry and get out of here!!!
