Weekend Wrap-Up (Oct. 17-19)

Friday

It was our annual camping weekend.  The weather was going to be so much nicer than it was last weekend when it rained the whole time!

A reese cup s'more, my favorite!!

 

Saturday

We hiked around the lake, cooked lunch on the fire, just hung out for the day.  Danielle and Jeremiah came over that afternoon and we took some maternity pictures for them.

It took us about 15 tries to get this picture!

Thank you, Pinterest for most of these ideas!!

 

 

 

Future Best Friends!!!  Love it!!

One of my favorite weekends of the year

Friday

I had my make-up hair appointment then met Niki out to run some errands.  I then went back to her house to get ready for the Little Black Dress party that night.  Ryker got my camera out of my bag and was so excited to take some pictures, granted they were almost all of the ceiling fan!!

I hit the road as soon as the party was over to head to Evansville for Koester Girls Camping weekend.  It was acutally "glamping weekend" this year!!

 

Saturday

We didn't go to sleep till almost 2am but we were all up by 8 that morning.  We sat in Aunt Lori's gorgeous kitchen drinking coffee, talking and hoping the sun would come out and warm the temperature up!  We ate some yummy breakfast then headed outside.  The sun had finally come out but it was still windy.  She has this great patio but we ended up sitting in the driveway in between the camper and the garage and the house so we didn't feel the wind as much.   We wanted to do something so we got out the washer boards and played that.  

Hannah's new dog Baxter that she rescued! 

We took the boat out for a little ride

Baxter's first time on the boat and Grandma drinking straight out of the bottle!

We got back and hung out for a while.  Aunt Susie and Jennifer got there with pizza, so we all ate dinner and then Grandma wanted us to do the gift exchange before it got dark.  This is always one of our favorite parts! 

Michelle got baby booties, a Christmas vest and a velour jumpsuit! 

Lindsay got pillows, a bandana and a game

We played Cards against Humanity and hung out for a while.  We were all cold and went in to watch a movie.  I think we were all asleep within 15 minutes!!

 

Sunday

We were all up early once again, drank several pots of coffee and then headed outside to hang out for a little bit.  We all started to leave around noon to head home.  Lindsay and I ran to the mall because we each had some things to return.  I came home and moved my jungle of a yard!  I got to the back yard and found a broken glass coke bottle and didn't think anything of it till I found several more. 

It pisses me off considering I have a fenced in yard!!  Probably some stupid kids did it, I'm just glad I saw it before I cut myself on it!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Thursday

I started my weekend a little early this week.  I slept most of the day since I worked the night before.  I decided to go ahead and drive home on Thursday night instead of trying to get up early Friday morning because that wouldn't have happened!!  I love SLEEP!!  I called my sister and asked if I could stay at her house, of course, she said yes.  I was able to get into town in enough time to watch my oldest niece's volleyball game.  She didn't actually get to play when I was there but it was so fun to watch!!  They play 3-5 games depending on enough wins.  They had lost the first 2 games and I came in on the 3rd game when they were down.  They ended up winning that game and the 4th game and the 5th game was so close but ended up losing.  It was so sad.  (Disclaimer: these are all iPhone pictures and I have a 4 so the quality is pretty poor, I'm going to get a 5s soon!!)

We went back to my sisters house and got last minute things together for our camping weekend.  My other niece, Maddie and I watched the end of last seasons Hart of Dixie then finally headed to bed.

 

Friday

We got up and got ready to head to the campground with some fully packed cars!!  We set up camp and hung out all day.  We cooked dinner over the fire and ate way to much food.  We sat around the fire and hung out and talked.  I "watched" the Cardinals game on my phone, well not so much watched but watched the score on my sports app and read the play by play.  It was a long game and after 13 innings I'm glad they won!!



Nate!!

Saturday

I think I slept a little bit, I was just glad I wasn't cold!!  We got up and Mom and Gerry made breakfast and it was so good!!  

A baby turtle we found at our campsite

We all hung out, some people took naps, Mom, Me & Lindsay hiked around the lake.  We almost crashed a wedding!!  HA!!!  Not really, we were able to go around without too many people noticing.  We came up on a birthday party and people taking family pictures also.  When we got back, Lindsay took a nap.  Mom and I were the only ones who actually stayed up....although I did close my eyes for just a minute sitting in the chair.  We ate dinner, hung out around the fire and played catch phrase again.  Then all these pictures happened.....too funny!!

 

 

HAHA!!  Both of them make the same face!!

 

I think she was falling....She didn't get our cheerleader genes!!

 

Oh, the beauty of camping

at least my teeth are pretty...right Linds??

 

She said I need to smile bigger....

so this is what she got!

Oh, Kelsey....you are too funny!!

Sunday

We got up and packed up camp and headed home!!  I got home and started laundry and took a nap!!  I definitely didn't sleep very well this weekend, not that I really expected to.  It was such a fun weekend and next will be too....Halloween party on Friday and wedding on Saturday!!!
