D, T, and I had plans to go camping for a couple of days for awhile, but T had a meeting he couldn't miss with his scout group. The boy is crazy busy all the time. Even A said that he is never here. However, I am not having to take him to all his activities so it doesn't effect me too much, but we do miss being able to hang out frequently with him. It's just him getting ready to be an adult. Because of this, and the fact he's completely trustworthy, D and I have decided to go on some trips without him and leave him here with A. We have our family trips planned that even A will come with us, but there will also be a couple that will be just D and I. I am frequently alone at the house which feels just weird since for so long the house was just crazy loud and always full. I miss the craziness and doing everything together, but I am so happy they are starting to have their own lives. I really, really look forward to grand babies I can spoil and create memories with!
Since we only had two nights available to camp and T was busy until 8:15 pm on one of those nights, we decided to go to the state park by our house. We went and set up in the afternoon, came home to take T to his meeting, and then went to pick him up after his meeting and head to the campsite. Since we were close A wanted to join us for one night too! She hasn't camped with us at a state park since she was 18. It was fun! We had a fire, made s'mores, watched movies, and played games. Since we were close, we still went to play our weekly pickleball game. It was crazy windy! Basically whoever was with the wind won the game. We managed to play 5 games in an hour so since the kids played with the wind 3 times, they won. We even got our Braums yogurt afterwards before heading back to the campsite. While we had fun, I really don't like all the back and forth to the house so next time hopefully everyone can have a couple of days to go on a fun little trip.
I thought D and I were going to get some practice in this week while the kids were busy, but D ended up having training so it would have just been me and I don't think there's a way to play pickleball by yourself. It ended up working out though since the cold front came through and the wind gusts were 45 mph. We would have spent all our time chasing balls!

| T slept in his tent because he has so many nights a year he has to sleep in one for his scout requirements. |
 |
| Axl loves his walks! The kids took him to the dog park this week, but all he did was chase humans down for pets.😂 |
 |
| A even went on our dog walks and would have even gone on a hike with us, which tells me she did really miss going with us. She hates the outdoors! |
 |
| We enjoyed the nice weather and watched Halloween movies. |

| Axl was tired after his fun day...so were we! |
