Allentown KOA, July 4–7
It was an uneventful trip up on the holiday. It was last minute reservations and I’m out of vacation time, so we had to travel on the holiday.
We were concerned about the dogs… Geddy had another diarrhea attack yesterday, so we weren’t sure what to expect. The last thing we wanted was him losing it in the truck on the way up. Everything was fine, though… we got here and the weather was deteriorating the whole way. By the time we got up here, there was a steady drizzle… just enough to make it difficult to do anything.
We took a quick walk through the campground, it’s kind of small, but nice. The dogs were a mess by the time we were done.
We had dinner, relaxed and played bingo. The weather should be a bit better tomorrow, so we should be able to get out and do something. Our tickets to the Iron Pigs are for Sunday’s game.
Friday night (July 4th) was not a pleasant one… Geddy ended up getting sick throughout the night (from 2:00 on) and I ended up having to sleep outside with him because he kept vomiting. We did a lot of cleanup work… not a good night.
Saturday was on and off rain all day. We decided to head to Crystal Cave in the morning since it was weather independent. Kathy stayed back with the dogs to make sure Geddy didn’t vomit all over everything. The kids (even Andrew) really enjoyed the trip to the cave.

Some “flow”
The face…
After we got back, the kids wanted to try the pool… Matt didn’t last long saying it was too cold. On and off showers all day, so we tried to just stay dry and enjoy ourselves. At dinner time, the kids and I went to play miniature golf. We had a good time, the team of Emily and I won, Matt came in second and Andrew was bringing up the rear. Andrew had an impressive shot, it bounced off one of the rocks and flew about 4 feet in the air careening into a lake. I had to use a net to fish his ball out of the water.
Saturday night was uneventful… Geddy made it through with no sickness. Even so, we weren’t going to risk it, so Kathy didn’t attend the game on Sunday. It was great, the kids had a blast and we watched the Iron Pigs’ pitcher throw a complete game 4-hitter while striking out 17 batters!
Coca-Cola park is really nice and clean and well laid out. Not a bad seat in the place and there is even a picnic lawn area just beyond center field where you could lay out a blanket to watch the game.
