Saturday getaway:)

Last Saturday we decided to pack up and go have a BBQ and roast marshmallows with the kids up at the reservoir. We made hamburgers & hot dogs, chips, fruit salad, and of course delicious s'mores:) Then of course when the marshmallows were gone I found a HUGE piece of wood and made a bonfire hehehe!! The kids of course, had fun sticking there sticks in it and lighting them on fire. The weather was perfect and we found the perfect spot, close to the reservoir and the playground. It was nice and relaxing and the kids had a lot of fun:)

Ready to have some fun!

Looks like a lot of fun! Someday it would be fun to go up to ed and Stephanies and let the kids play together while cooking hot dogs and smores! I know you are busy, but we miss you guys! I'm glad you got a chance to spend some quality time as a family, those are the moments that fuel the hard and trying days that seem to happen more and more. Love ya!
