Ready to go to Iraq

Ready to go!


Our park became home for several military families from Minnesota this past week. Because it is close to camp Shelby it was convenient for them to use it as they said so long to their loved ones who is shipping out to Iraq to serve for the next year. We had the pleasure of meeting Jim, Marilyn and Derek Fry. Two of Jim and Marilyn's grandchildren were thrilled to play disc golf with their uncle Derek. They joined their son Derek for different events at Camp Shelby. They had their tent next to our RV as no sites were available. The state of Minnesota provided all the refreshments including two inch steaks for the 2500 Minnesota troops and all their guests. The whole family displayed true patriotic spirit. Below is a picture of Derek with his mother and father.
