Well, this weekend was our "Family (and Friends) Usually Annual Camping Trip." We went up to John Redmond Reservoir, near Emporia, KS. I beat everyone up there (only by about 15 minutes), so I had a bit of time to kick back and relax with a new book (which I accidentally left laying out in the grass all night). That's the only reading I got done all weekend. :) The family started trickling in a short time later.
I don't have any super-exciting stories to tell... I got to play with my 2.5 yr old niece. She's absolutely adorable. It's widely accepted that I am her FAVORITE. :) "Favorite what?" you ask. Favorite everything!!! (I know several others in the family would try and refute this fact. It's true that they would occasionally try and confuse her by having them repeat things like, "Michelle's my favorite." But, believe you me, Aunt Krista quickly worked to correct such malicious attempts.)
A couple of friends - Matt H. ("Teo") and Dunley (sp?) joined us for portions of the weekend. Several other "friends" were invited, too, but were unable to come in the end. We had a good laugh w/ Mom & Dad about how everyone in our family (primarily the kids this time) is notorious for inviting others along on such trips. But, we determined that it's because we're following the example set by Mom & Dad. In fact, now that I'm writing about it, I think every unit of the family invited someone. That's pretty funny when you think about it. Oh well... that always makes it interesting.
Most of our days were spent eating, playing with Erin (several times at the playground), taking walks, playing in Chelle & John's hammock and watching the snakes in the water near our campsite (yikes)! We got in a good amount of visiting, though I could have used some more.
Well, that pretty much brings the blog up to speed. But, how in the world did blogs come up this weekend? Apparently I'll have another new visitor soon... Welcome, Teo.
