How Many Shore's Can You Fit Into A VW Bus?

The Shore family drove up to Golden Forks Hotsprings on Saturday to celebrate Don's birthday.
The VW bus was dubbed the chuckwagon since the Yukon was full. So with everyones picnic in the back we set out. Lad was our pilot and by some miracle took the lead. Well, we arrived at the hotsprings a good 30 minutes before the rest of the family.
 Seemed like the sensible thing to do was eat.
So we made ourselves at home in Lad's bus and had a great lunch.
The VW was warm and dry, when the rest of the family arrived, we just made room for them so they could have their picnic out of the rain too. Skye set up one of the cots and all the kids got up on top to eat their lunch.
(notice the great job Lad did on the headliner, vents and cot)

I wish I could answer the question: How many Shore's can you fit in a VW bus? But I can't , you see we ran out of Shore's before we ran out of room.
There was eleven of us in there, and we hadn't even pulled out the other cot, or used the back!

The hotsprings were very nice. We stayed for several hours while it began to snow.
(I had to throw this picture of Arron and I in, we don't have a lot of pics. together)
Suzanne brought hot water and cocoa, it was perfect after walking back to the car in the cold.

It's a long ride back... and someone said they were hungry. We all stopped into a Mexican restaurant for a birthday dinner.
It was the first time this year we got to watch the Olympics! It never occured to me that just because we don't have a T.V doesn't mean  we couldn't watch them online. Oh well, who has time?
