Weekend at the beach
Thanks to the guest post from Allison Thomlison
Last weekend was one of the best weekends I’ve had in a very long time. Connie invited our family to join her family at her new summer cottage on the lake for the weekend. I’ve been wanting to come see her new place ever since she told me that she had bought it. Of course the promise of a weekend full of boating and tubing made the lure even stronger!
After packing a couple of suitcases, complete with extra life jackets, sun screen, and swimming suits, we set our home security tolleson alarm and set off on the two hour drive to Connie’s place. As we got closer to her place we stopped at a local grocery store and bought the ingredients to my favorite fruit trifle to prepare for the next day’s dinner, and the traditional s’mores ingredients. As promised, we had the best time – especially the part of cooking the s’mores! That is a long-time family favorite!
After the kids were tucked into bed, we watched a movie called The Bucket List from one of the new channels that they had picked up when they took advantage of one of the Direct TV Deals that they purchased for the summer. All in all it was a fantastic weekend!
