We've had a very busy weekend around here! The weather was beautiful, so of course that meant doing yard work, planting a few flowers and already spraying for weeds.
Pops and Grama came down friday afternoon in the RV! It was there first official camping experience in the trailer. It started off a little 'wet', when a water jug splashed around in the back of the camper...Pops had a fit. It was funny! I can tell already that there's going to be a lot of good camping stories in the future. They spent the night so that I was able to help Brian with the numerous retreat groups that came in on Saturday. That kept us busy from morning to evening.
Kaden and Ethan had a great time with Pops and Grama. They played, went for walks, read books and then my favorite....Kaden showed Grama his earthworm collection. In a container there were a few worms and dirt. It had been sitting on our picnic table for about three weeks. I guess it had filled with water and the worms had got all gnasty....needless to say with the water and the heat, it was not a pretty sight or smell. And what made matters worse is that the 'liquid' had spilled all over Grama and Kaden. I heard it took a couple had washings to get the smell to go away! Good times.
Today we have tried to stay low key and relax...tomorrow starts a new week.

Now that is one funny post. Bless mom's heart that she dealt with that. And I can totally see dad having a fit over the spilt water! LOL! I wish that was my biggest challenge of the day. Sounds like a good weekend for all of you. We had a super busy weekend here. I am sitting here relaxing, watching "The Big Give". It's nice to "just be"! :)
Talk to you soon!
I got your site from Mel. Very funny post even without knowing your family!
Dear Lisa,
Gary should have talked to me before they bought that RV. We had a family vacation in an RV last year that went from bad to worse. We never did get the generator to work, so the toilet never really worked - other than the two times that it overflowed. The frig door flew open when you went around curves - spewing food in all directions (mostly eggs and other messy liquids). The oven burned the cinnamon rolls on the top while they were still raw on the bottom. The first night we stopped in some God forsaken spot in Wyoming where it was like 40 below zero. There was no bathroom facilities so Mark wanted us girls to "just go outside to pee". We were the only RV in the park - but did I mention there was about a foot of snow? I promptly refused to pee outside and said I would "pee in a cup" instead. The brakes started going out on the RV, so we had to add brake fluid every time we filled up with gas. Mark's hands were black from gripping the steering wheel so hard!
All I have to say about the worms is....."I'm sure glad God gave me girls!"
Love, Aunt Gini
