My boys are off for a long weekend of adventure and affection in the Blue Ridge Mountains. FIVE aunties and uncles, plus Cousin Stretch, are along for the ride.
Although Bob and I are looking forward to going to lots of movies, drinking Bloody Marys, etc., I am almost jealous.
There is a tent.
There is a swing.
There is a stump fort.
There is a swimming hole.
There is a puppetry studio.
There have been UFO sightings.
There is tons of home-grown food from a giant garden.
There are silly aunties and uncles who love the crap out of them.
Summer.
I love your blog! I ALWAYS makes me smile and/or laugh. Your boys are so lucky....
ReplyDeleteAfter I posted that, I figured maybe I'd better explain why I think they are lucky...You have such a great sense of "play" and you have super priorities...You are delightfully irreverant and don't take life too seriously. (Your photos are awesome too)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words, Barbara! I am pretty sure that I'M the lucky one - I can leave those boys with their aunts and uncles for 4 days and be more or less sure that they will behave well and not freak out.
ReplyDeleteAww, now I'm missing them!
I had to search my book review blog, Pink Me, before I realized that I've never reviewed either Fame and Glory in Freedom, Georgia or How to Steal a Dog, both of which I really enjoyed! Thank you for your terrific books - I recommend them all the time!
