The Bunch Take the Freshly Finished Camper on Its Maiden Voyage

It was miserably humid outside.

Well, all our hard work paid off. Our Boy Scout camping trip was absolutely miserable. The humidity levels were so high that even night time was uncomfortable. In four years of camping with this group, this was the worse trip. The mosquitoes were in swarms by the thousands and since you were just dripping in sweat from the humidity levels, they just stuck to you. Thankfully, we had a/c and spent most of the time in the camper watching movies. We really got to enjoy our new cushions and paint job. Unfortunately, our stupid dog made her super long crazy tail bleed again. it was reminiscent of our big trip a couple years ago where we had to make her a tail splint to keep her from whacking the tip of her tail open on everything. Usually she doesn't have this happen on our short trips, but lucky us she made an exception this time. A good portion of our weekend was spent cleaning blood off everything her tail whacked. Luckily, my new paint held up really well!

T was happy to see his friends after all summer.

I plan and buy stuff for meals, D does clean up and cooking....It was too hot to cook outside.

No shower...he just came in after playing outside for an hour.

T looks gigantic next to his friends.

The girls stayed behind to play their double header volleyball game and spent the weekend with their grandparents. Unfortunately, they lost both games. We have one game left before the playoffs are here and they should win that game, though I feel bad because the other team hasn't won a single game this year.

The girls love to bake....this was a yummy carrot cake.

L is my little decorator....I will miss her decorations when she stops doing them.

D spent about 10 hours this weekend changing all the faucets out for my mom. He did a great job; they definitely look fabulous and I am pretty sure they won't leak. ;) I was his "helper" which I think is code for beck and call person and someone to unload frustrations on. He gets into a zone while he is doing a project, so I just ignore most of what he says because when he is done he is my happy hubby again, though maybe a little sore this time from laying in the cabinets for so long. Never doubt his mad skills, he can do anything I put my mind to.

L had to write a paragraph and she wrote about my father....priceless.

Lunch with the family.

Mosquitoes are NO match for my wine glasses.

We have our 2nd annual Branson trip coming up and can't wait. We have an all new list of things to do this year. It should be lots of fun and my parents are once again going to join us for part of the trip.
