Thank…
Goodness….
It’s….
Finally….
Friday!
Woohoo!
TGIF
Thank goodness it’s….oh my goodness it’s only Thursday! Has this week just dragged or is it just me? Here’s some pictures from our last night of summer a week and a half ago….
Love these peeps.
Come on Friday!!
Falling Creek
Robert and Maxwell spent the weekend at the Father Son event at Falling Creek camp in North Carolina. Considering Maxwell came home saying he wants to go for 2 weeks next summer, I’d say it was a great weekend!! Ready to head out Friday afternoon…
and getting all settled in their cabin.
Throughout the weekend they learned all kinds of valuable life skills like how to throw a hatchet…
how to throw a spear…
how to shoot a rifle…
and how to shoot a bow and arrow!
I’m sure all of those skills will come in handy soon! 😉 They also played warrior ball where apparently Maxwell was the champion of more than one game!
And they swam in the lake and went on the zipline…
These two had the best adventure and I’m so glad they got to go!
Can’t wait for next summer! (actually I can wait because the thought of Maxwell being gone for 2 weeks – or even 1 week – makes me want to cry but I know he’ll love it!!)
the big 5-0
Last weekend we went down to Montgomery to celebrate a wonderful occasion – Granddaddy and Lou Lou’s 50th wedding anniversary! Robert, Ronnie, and Mary Beth planned a lovely party for them and we all had fun getting together, looking at old photos and videos, and celebrating the milestone.
Of course the cousins all loved getting to hang and help set things up beforehand…
That evening, the kids didn’t even miss us when we left – they were having too much fun at the awesome country club pool!
The party was wonderful. So many friends came to say “cheers” to the couple!
The original 5!
And the expanded bunch!
All the siblings and spouses…
Pretty remarkable that all of our parents have lasting marriages!
I’m so happy and honored to be a part of this family and proud to say I’ve been a part of at least some of those 50 years!
Cheers to 50!!
Yes, more naples
Happy Monday! You didn’t think the Naples posts were done, did you?! Nope, there’s more! Some other fun things we did…
Trips to the beach club…
Swimming with cousins…
We saw a turtle!
We bounced!
We got lots of good rest (swimming wears you out)…
and we biked around the neighborhood!
Mostly, we hung out with our favorites, GJ and Daddo, who were so nice to put up with us!
We had lots and lots of good fun, that’s for sure.
Sadly, all good things must come to an end. On July 4th, we put on our red, white, and blue and made our way home with no problems.
Ready to go back again!
