It's been 2-3 years since we've spent an evening with Bruce and Carol Campbell in Lander. Last summer, Corb and Connor stopped by for an afternoon visit on their drive west. It was wonderful to spend the first night of our road trip in such warm and wonderful company!
Sunday morning 8/17/14 we finished packing, cleaning and loading up the truck. All went rather smoothly. We said "good-bye" to Driggs at about 1-1:30pm and made our way to Lander. I appreciated the last view of the Tetons from the east side as we drove out of Jackson. We arrived at the Campbells at about 5:30pm, after "taking a Main" and driving by the Langs' old home on Wind River Drive.
Cornhole (or beanbags) in the backyard, swingset play, time in the playhouse, lemonade on the back porch, a tour of the "skinning" area in the garage, perusing Carol's photo album from her recent trip to Germany and Switzerland with Amy, Jason and kids, dinner on the deck - complete with ice cream pie and coffee, bugles in the kitchen, and a great night sleep ... it was wonderful to catch up with Bruce and Carol. They've known Corby since he was 6 and they've known our kids since they were babies. It's a special friendship the Langs and Campbells share ... reminds me of the Langs and Greens :-)
Monday morning 8/18/14, after a delicious (as always) pancake breakfast and packing a good supply of Carol Campbell cookies into our cooler, we said our "good-byes" and began, in earnest, our journey east. We were so grateful for this visit - it was a nice way to end our time out west and set the tone for a positive trip east!
