The Feigs Settlement - Take Two

We were very fortunate to be asked out to the Feigs "Settlement" by Nicole, Pete and Joel and Tom, Ceile, Hailey and Simon for the August Long Weekend. Shelby was babysitting for Starr and went to Oxbow/Alameda for the weekend so it was Scott, Myself, Kaeden and Diti who headed out on Saturday afternoon.

The only "issue" was the wasp infestation, anyone who knows me realizes the problem this posed! Hence my new nickname, "tent" girl! Nicole knew if she mentioned them to me I would be a no show (and she was very correct) as I am absolutely unequivocally terrified of bees, wasps or really anything yellow and black with a stinger. Therefore I spent a fair amount of time flailing about (yes I know it is better to stand still but for some reason my fight or flight sensor doesn't) or sitting in the tent. It actually worked out well as there was a fire ban, the usual circle around the fire pit was instead in front of our tent so I could sit in there and visit and be bee/wasp free!!
~ "tent" girl drinking my "camping long island ice tea"which packed a huge punch - it is 1.5 ounces of orange vodka, 1.5 ounces of peach schnapps, ice, small (tiny,teeny) splash of iced tea and coke ~ needless to say this was all I needed for a huge fit of giggles all night!
Kaeden was very excited to go quading! Pete and his dad took him out a couple of times.

Diti now has a boyfriend...Tom and Ceile's Bernese Mountain Dog - Jasper. the two of them made a cute couple and it was really funny as they snuck out behind the outhouse for a little rendezvous and then whined and barked when we tied them up separately!

thanks again to the all of the"feigs" for everything - it was another great weekend!
