We had a great weekend with my parents. My Dad is 86 years old. He hasn't been up to par this year so this is their first trip out since last year. He drove their class C motor home 100 miles and set it up by himself 2 days before we got there. We spend the weekend mostly talking and cooking. His knees are bad so we didn't walk much. A few years ago he had a stroke so he has slowed down some. Before that my parents made 4 trips to Alaska in the motorhome putting 80,000 miles on it traveling in the summers. I hope all the Dads had a great Father's Day. I know I did.

When we got home, Our daughter visited for the afternoon and made the day even better.

Enjoy those times with Dad.
Thankfully my 94 year old dad is still with us. He lives with us and we take him camping. He really enjoys it...camping has always been a part of our family's life. My first camping trip was at 3 months.
He has dementia so the brief moments of clarity are jewels that I collect in my mind for later when he's no longer here.
I'm wishing you many more great weekends camping with your parents.
