Well, I couldn't think of any cutsie title, so here goes! Last weekend, we took a rare moment to leave the park and go down to the lakehouse to spend the night. It was right after our first babysitting experience for a church meeting that had no childcare. Let's just say the girls somehow had the babysitter get them popcorn and fruit rollups which were not on the instruction list! They did have a good time, and no emergencies, so that's what is important! Now I know why we don't go out more often because you make dinner for the kids, babysitter, get everything ready...go out..then come back and clean up and wait for the kids to calm down before sleep.
It was tough getting everything ready after having a night away to actually go away for a night with everyone. But, definitely worth it! We packed and went away (without my camera) on our adventure! Woody did take a few cell phone pics and one video of Nicole catching a fish that I will have to post later. The girls loved splashing in the water and running around. After dinner, they made a small campfire with the main reason to cook s'mores! The girls were way too wired for sleep, so it was very late when they settled down to sleep. You would think that meant for a late rising, but they were up by 6:30am! So, quick breakfast makings and we were ready to pack up to see their cousins!
Nate & Isabelle were at a surprise visit to Grandma and Grandpa's house, so we went to see them and visited a train museum. The kids liked it and it was interesting to see the different passenger, dining, and sleeper cars of the era. It was a steam engine locomotive, which was also neat to see all the inner workings and design. Definitely neat to the engineer in me!

Everyone on the end of the car for a picture!
We then swam in Grandma and Grandpa's pool, for the last time this season! It was cold!! Brrr!! I jumped in and definitely didn't want to stay too long. Isabelle didn't jump in, and I didn't blame her either! But, Natalie and Nicole both enjoyed the water, as did Nate.
Jumping in!!
It was a great weekend and special memories! Back to the routine this week!!
