That Weekend & The Best Parts

We had our busiest weekend since the Fair.  It was the kind that everything falls on the same weekend and there's not much you can do about it except for hang on for the ride.  


Blossom4 had her first Junior Bible Quiz match of the season.  She finished with Second Place Overall High Scorer, which is quite an honor.  She was grinning from one pixie ear to another!


Blossom2 and Blossom3 headed to the cabin with the Rugged Mountain Man for some pheasant hunting.  They got a turtle.  No pheasants though.  The weather really didn't cooperate, but the girls were in full on cabin mode.  

Relax.  

Tramp about the woods.  

Breathe deeply.  

Snack thoroughly.

Nap frequently.

Breathe deeply again.

Apparently we were at risk of them not coming home for a few days, or so they informed us.  Nonetheless, Blossom2 made it home in time for Poultry Judging practice.  That's pretty important when you're studying for Nationals.


I taught Kids' Church Sunday morning.  Although I looked over to see one kiddo licking a chair while we were quietly giving God time to speak to us, we truly had a good time.  

Kids are just so cool!

Blossom1 and Blossom2 were at a neighboring church helping a close family friend to lead worship there.  You could call it networking.  I'd rather call it "pitching in where needed in the Body of Christ."

They drove home, scarfed down some lunch with us and then, we headed out for the long-awaited gem of the evening ~ an Anne Wilson concert!

The girls and I really enjoy her heartfelt music with a rustic flair.


We don't need to be told twice to get those boots out!  Dressed in our rustic concert best


and well-armed with 500 Cal Chocolate Chip Cookies made especially by Blossom2, we embarked on the 3 hour drive there.


There may have been some PSLs too!  

Road trips are THE best!


Especially when there are friends and family involved!!


We may have arrived home at 1:30 am, but we concluded the weekend with these thoughts,


"It was worth it."

"We should do more road trips together."
