You know how there are times you just need to get away & recharge? Mr.Fix~It & I did just that this past weekend. We’ve been trying to work in a weekend camping with Rachel & Adam for months. We decided on this past weekend then, found out one of Mr. Fix~It’s Missouri relatives would be camping in state & we decided to join them on Thursday night.….with Rachel & Adam& Hayden, Erika & Chris & little ones, Mr. Fix~It’s parents…a brother & his wife…joining us over the weekend. It was a blast! We had the first night with just his Aunt & Uncle. It’s been years since he (or I ever) have had one on one time with them. Boy have we been missing out! Such warm and loving people. A campfire, bottle of wine and chatting till nearly midnight. That night alone made the trip.
A beautiful to way to enjoy my morning coffee
Signs of fall all around us
The others trickled in over Friday & Saturday. We all joined more family members at Wagner’s Village Inn Oldenburg In. for one of the best chicken supper’s I’ve had in a long time. Super kid friendly, they had tiny table for Isaiah & Hayden, books, crayons etc.
Back at the campfire, Rachel decided to pop some 5 minute Jiffy popcorn…
5 minutes later (daylight)
10 minutes later, the ribbing starts
20 minutes later…Full dark & not giving up…
30 minutes Did I ever tell you Rachel is stubborn?
40 minutes later one of the Aunts had mercy and popped some in the micro….
Hmm, anyone want a bite?
Smores & Mores, helping out by cleaning up after dessert!
4 generations, brothers, cousins, aunts & uncles, & Greats….
Early morning fishing, catch & release..
Afternoon naps….
Enjoying the awakening of a new day, while most are still sleeping, savoring the last breath of summer & storing the memory
I hope your weekend was as wonderful as mine
oh what a fun weekend. I am so looking forward to summer.
