My parents were preparing for a wedding at their house so couldn't be at the river but convinced us to go anyway. I was hesitant without the service staff there (being honest- our parents serve us well & I appreciate, enjoy every minute of it) but it turned out to be such a nice weekend.
It was soo sooo nice to have a long weekend with just the 5 of us in a different location.
I know for all of us normal life certainly doesn't seem to allow much quality time together- with the older two away at school for nearly 8 hours a day and Mike away at work for 11 a day.
We stopped on the way down at a playground they love.
(these pics can serve as a 'before' for Ben's hair trimming. There are almost always haircuts at the river.)
We enjoyed leisurely days on the dock & a ride on Paw's boat. It was also a good playpen for Ben. There has been a little grumpiness- with teething, and reaching the stage of desiring something but not having the speech to match it.
his cuteness makes up for it!
Lily's thoughts on the weekend-
We are also very thankful for the men & women who serve & have served our country.
Looks like the perfect get-a-away!
