“Jon and Kate plus 8”-the pop-up camper and tent site with what must have been 8 multi-ethnic kids, 8 bikes of varying sizes, 8 tiny lawn chairs and group bike-a-thons all weekend have gone.
Jon and Kate Plus 8
“Pop-Up Pat” and her beer bellied husband have packed up the pop-up, their outdoor screened room, the electric fan and their b-bque grill.
Pop-Up Pat
The “Weekend Warriors” had brought everything but the kitchen sink with them for the Memorial Day weekend- and put it all outside-hammocks, grills, plastic bins, party lights, vacuum cleaners, coolers…

Next door, the Harley driving, tattooed guy who sat outside with his big screen TV from noon till 11PM yesterday watching the Indie 500- ignoring his wife, kids and adorable Jack Russell terriers- has started to pack up (9:00 AM-beer in hand. You can never start drinking too early on a holiday weekend). The “fire-truck rides” are over. The campfires are dying. 
The “catch and release” pond is surrounded by ducks and geese instead of fathers and sons with fishing poles. The grandparents can drop off their “grandbabies”. The end of the holiday weekend—YEA!
