Jeannie called me yesterday afternoon and said the campers were staying out another night, and we decided to go to a new craft brewery in her neighborhood that served food. At first we sat at the outdoor tables but moved indoors as soon as we finished eating - it was windy and very chilly! The choice of brews was excellent - I stayed with a pilsener! It was so enjoyable - just the two of us gabbing away a mile a minute. For my meal I ordered pulled pork sliders - served 3 to the plate. The pork was excellent and they topped them with crispy french fried onion rings. I saved one of the sliders and had it cold for breakfast this morning!
I stayed at Jeannie's until Donald and the girls got back, tired but happy. I couldn't believe the pack that Autumn carried - the same pack Jeannie took on our trip on the Appalachian Trail last summer. Autumn will soon be as tall as Jeannie, but I still couldn't believe she could carry the weight as well. Everyone had a wonderful time and the pictures they took shows it. Seeing the photos I can't believe how Liam is really growing up, as all the kids seem to be. For some reason it just struck me that Liam looks older all of the sudden. I guess he's getting ready to be a big brother later on this year.
I have the camping/backpacking bug again big time! Will I ever learn?
I'm tired - again we stayed up late talking last night, so I might just rest my eyes for a little bit.

Maybe it is time to get out and about enjoying Mother Nature, but just make sure that you don't over do it.
ReplyDeleteI probably won't get a chance until I am in Alaska, but I'll surely be in nature there!
DeleteDon't you just love Mother, Daughter time? Every Sunday I spend the day with my youngest.
ReplyDeleteGlad they had such a wonderful camping trip. And yes I know the bug.
I cherish the time I spend with my daughter, especially when it's just the two of us. Jeannie showed me some of the photos Donald took on the camping trip, and it looks like they were all happy and having a great time.
DeleteSounds like another wonderful time with your daughter. Was Keira sorry she didn't go?
DeleteAt the very last minute she decided she wanted to go, and Joe told her "No" as it was too late to change her mind. He had planned no gear, clothes, food, etc. for her. It's a sad lesson to learn, but as my kids used to say, "you snooze, you lose". Keira ended up getting her ears pierced. Arianna said she should have gone camping because getting your ears pierced hurts!
