They were with us on our very first weekend out in our first Airstream, back in August 2003.  They don&#8217;t have any sort of camping equipment, so we lent them a tent and of course it poured all night long.  We felt a bit guilty in our comfortable 1968 Airstream Caravel, listening to the rain on the aluminum roof, while they were in our old tent.<\/p>\n<p>Amazingly they are still our friends despite that experience.  This time they&#8217;ll spend the night in the Airstream bunkhouse with us.  There&#8217;s plenty of room for all six of us.  I think they&#8217;ll be a lot more comfortable.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tour.airstreamlife.com\/weblog\/Charlotte%20Japanese%20beetle.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Charlotte Japanese beetle.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/tour.airstreamlife.com\/weblog\/Charlotte%20Japanese%20beetle-thumb.jpg\" width=\"360\" height=\"238\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Emma has been catching all sorts of creatures lately.  Japanese Beetles are a favorite for their iridescent gold color, but she&#8217;s also caught tiny leopard frogs, and a big fat toad.  She has mastered a technique for rubbing their tummies to calm them.  I don&#8217;t know where she learns these things&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friends are starting to arrive for little drop-ins this week.
