Camping Fun

We had an excellent time camping with the family this weekend.  It was David's first time to tent camp and   Kyleigh, Jordon and I were determined to set up camp before he arrived.  We took off early, unloaded the vehicle (the lady at the next sight asked...are you going to take a kitchen sink out of there?) and began our adventure ...Let me just say, Thank you A.J. and Brittani for showing up to help!  :-) Kids were hot and tired so they were rewarded with time at the pool and water slides.
Brooke and Jesse arrived and we had an amazing supper, fun on the golf cart (I do believe Ky will live in her car once she gets her license), played volleyball and had campfire conversation while roasting marshmallows and biscuits.  

Saturday morning came to early and it was off to t-ball and then back to the campsite for more fun...fishing (snakes included), pool, putt-putt, more good food, wagon ride with Yogi, dancing and karaoke. 

David's first experience was great and we will be going back for Jordon's birthday celebration in 2 weeks!!   The quality time you have while the kids are away from friends and technology is amazing!   I enjoyed every moment and welcome more of this time in the future.

Here is a link to share in some of our fun.

Pampered Weekend

I must confess that after a weekend of pampering and luxury, I have had a hard time coming back to reality.   Cleaning, cooking, t-ball, soccer etc...  While all of those things are fun and necessary, escaping from that reality is needed every now and then.  
For the first time in months, David and I had a weekend of no kids or work.  We usually have one or the other and sometimes both.   He wisked me away to the Grandover Resort in Greensboro, NC where we were truly pampered.   Fine dining, a day at the spa, golf and shopping...what more could we want?

Golf was not on the agenda, but the course was so pretty and the golfers were few so we decided to enjoy it.   Love our clothes??  How many golfers go out in their jeans and sandals?  Once I got over the clothing issue, I really did have a good time! 

David loves to golf and enjoyed his time on the course.   It was a plush course and he quickly learned that the green was fast unlike the courses we play around Roanoke.  

 I am so thankful for the opportunity to get away and enjoy time together!
