the VW car show

You see 'car show' and you think there are going to be a lot of pictures of cars.  Well, I took a lot of pictures of all the volkswagens but I'm not really going to post them. They were more for me to get ideas for the Volkswagen's that my husband is restoring for me.    So anyway.... my hubs drove the 1958 Deluxe bus to the show, ' Rusty' , pictured below.  You can see he did score some cheap tires for our 1970 Thing he is in the process of restoring.

Here is my sweet daughter getting a drink out of the cooler in the back of Rusty.  She is so cute.

The front of Rusty with a piece of paper stuck on the front of him by a magnet.  The paper is the story of Rusty.  How my husband found him in the woods, his side crushed in and ready for the crusher.  He husband payed I think $250 for him and brought him back to life.

My tiny guy had his shark hanging on the stirring wheel the whole show.  That is my tiny guy with his 'Indiana Jones' hat.  He's been wearing this hat for years. :o) 

The gang, all volkswagen owners, but not all are pictured.  This is Pat's bus.( the guy in the white shirt)

After the show we went to my girlfriend, Dawnn's house to eat , drink , and get in the pool.

The crazy volkswagen girls, Lisa (with baby Cora), Dawnn, and I.

NaturalBus 2012

Hey there, we're home from NaturalBus and recovered. :o)   I was actually sick the whole weekend so I stayed in the the bus a lot.  I did come out a little bit and tried to be sociable.  We started out Friday morning and had problems on the road. The bus was driving all 'squirrely'... scaring me to death. We ended up having to stop a few times for my hubs to august things under / behind the tires.  Owning a bus is not easy, there are always things to fix on it.  For real!!

We made it to the campout in about 3 hours.  It is in Natural Bridge, Va.....that is why the campout is called NaturalBus.  Mark, the organizer told me there ended up being over 50 buses this year. 

The weather was beautiful, not as hot as it usually is for NaturalBus.  It is usually in the 90s for this campout and everyone stays in the water the whole time. It was too cold for me to get in the water this weekend.  We even had a storm/tornado warning roll through Friday night and we were all stuck in our buses for about an hour. :o)  It all needed up being fine though. 

Here is my annual picture of my children with Yogi Bear.

We love our campfires. The first night I think we stayed up way past midnight, some till 3am around this campfire.

My son, a water lover ended up getting in the water even though it was chilly.

The teenagers gathered to eat.

The band this year was so good.  No one wanted them to stop playing. Mark says he'll be asking them to come back again next year. :o)

I know I've said it before... but NaturalBus raffles a bus off every year. The money goes to the Ronald McDonald House.  They sold over 1700 tickets at $10 a ticket. :o)  Pictured below is the man that won the bus.

This is me (left), Dawnn (middle) and Mark (right) in Jamie's bus.

The weekend was so wonderful with friends and family.  Our Fullmoon Bus club friends are part of our family. We eat great, the weather was great, and the company was great. 

On the way home we carabused to Sonic and eat lunch..... here is Dawnn and I having a picnic in the Sonic parking lot.  I've got my journal in my lap. I am a crazy journal girl and have written down every time we camped, when, where, and what. lol

Till next camping trip, which will be in about 2 weeks.
