Lunching in Deep Creek

We leave tomorrow for a long weekend at Deep Creek Lake, Maryland and to say that the children are excited for their vacation would be an understatement. My oldest had me create a paper chain 40 links long 40 days ago so that he could rip a chain a day and help with the countdown to vacation.

This morning they are both in the backyard playing. I half-notice them loading a bunch of stuff into their motorized jeep and head off across the yard. Next thing I see, they have a table and umbrella set up with chairs at the far side of the yard, and they are sitting and laughing. Naturally, I ask what they are doing. The reply - we are having lunch at Deep Creek today! And, can you bring our lunches out here for us to eat? How could I refuse. So, I throw together some PB & J and run the gauntlet around the dog to serve them their lunch in Deep Creek. They just couldn't wait one more day for vacation to start.
