Rigs, bugs, and marshmallows

IMG_8516
Welcome to Andy Bell’s RV park in Kasson, MN.  It’s a good thing he has a long driveway!  Pam and Stan arrived this afternoon, and backed in right in front of my rig.  We’re all pretty excited about our ensuing trip to Yellowstone.  Since Pam and I are the planners, we got together this evening to discuss our route and the sights we’ll stop to see along the way.

I had picked up some brats and Italian sausage links from The Olde Butcher Shoppe in Rochester, earlier this week for tonight’s cookout.   Andy got the charcoal grill going, and we had an enjoyable dinner.  Afterwards, we had a campfire.
IMG_8520The grandsons found an interesting insect on the wood pile.  Notice the long whip like protuberances at the end of it’s abdomen.
IMG_8517As we watched it, this opaque bubble formed with one of the whip like things inside.  I don’t know what kind of insect this is or whether or not this was some sort of egg.  Anyone have any idea?  The whips were about three inches long, and the body of the insect was about two inches long.  Fascinating!

After the bug moved on, it was time for enjoying the campfire.
IMG_8524You can’t have a campfire without marshmallows!  It’s a right of passage for my grandsons…flaming morsels and all.  :)

I’m “getting out of Dodge” (county) tomorrow!  Yahoo!!

Thanks for stopping by….talk to you later,  Judy
