we don't get away much on a dairy farm, it is more getting off for a milking here and there.
For our grandson Eli's birthday I do manage to get my husband to take a little time off, My daughter and s-i-l. drive about half way between Coleraine MN and Wausau WI and go camping the week of Eli"s bd, and we meet up with them there,,getting to the bat, my husband wanted to use the GPS to get us there, well the darn thing took us the back roads through small towns and 20miles out of the way, good thing I printed out the direction Sarah sent us....and then when we got to a sign saying Chippewa campgrounds this way, he wanted me to go straight (I was driving) but I turned anyway because I did not want to go another mile out of the way, plus I knew there would be outhouses there. I was right on both count, they were there with a outhouse close by.
I think a bat with a compass would have gotten us there just as good....
I can laugh at it now but at the time I was not too happy!
I used campin' critters for the bat, PAF for the tree tops, and bat is on a wobble

Too funny, your story, not your card. Your card is awesome, especially the polka dot bat. My husband and I are full time campers and live in our RV, but only in campgrounds with full hookups and modern amenities. No way am I using an outhouse. LOL Thanks for playing along at BBTB2.

OMGosh I am so loving your poka dot bat with his little compass! Your story was so funny and I can so relate the the GPS taking you place in a weird way. lol I can also relate to not getting off the farm, we don't have dairy cows, but steers instead and it is hard getting DH off the farm to go anywhere because of all the work a farm entails. Thanks for joining us at BBTB2 ;-)
