Miracle Girls’ Birthday

The twins were 3 months premature 3 years ago. They both survived and are thriving today thanks to many prayers and our Good Lord. We had a great time at their 3rd birthday party last Saturday. The girls had lots of friends and family attend. Their dad smoked a pork roast and we had pulled pork sandwiches and delicious baked beans. We had to leave early and didn’t witness the big fiasco with the piñata game. However, we heard about it later….poor Emma accidently hit Audrey in the eye with the stick. All ended well and they had a good haul of loot from their presents.
Happy Birthday Sweet Girls!!!

Labor Day Weekend

Camping in Florida again. This time with my son Kelly and his family. My daughter Emily and her children stayed in a hotel, while we camped in the camper. My husband and I were supposed to get there early Friday to set up camp. Toward the end of our 6 hour drive, I looked at the shadow of the camper on the side of road and saw something flapping on top. I thought it was a tarp Kelly had used to cover a small leak we had on the roof. I mentioned it to Dan and we kept on going. When we arrived at the campground we realized it was the rubber cover on the top of the camper that was flapping and just about shredded 1/3 of the way back. Of course it's not under warranty, so we threw a tarp over it and tried to enjoy the rest of the evening. As we were sitting outside waiting for everyone to arrive, I heard a dripping noise coming from under the camper. I though maybe the air conditioner was dripping or the hose to the camper and I asked Dan why the tire was wet. After a little inspection, he opened the camper door and it was flooded inside. Earlier in the day, Jasper (our 3 yr old grandson) was in the camper and tried to turn the water on in the bathroom sink. Unfortunately he left it on with the stopper in and hence the flood. We drove on over to Wally World and bought some groceries and a shop vac. Back at the campground we sucked up all the water we could and put up groceries. By that time I was exhausted. Then the kids showed up and we went on to have a wonderful weekend....not counting when Catherine (our 5 yr old granddaughter) got lost Sunday night for about 10 minutes. She was found safe and sound and all was well.

We also brought June, our lab, for her 1st camping trip....not sure if she enjoyed it, but I did.

1st day we spent at the beach.

The 2nd day we went to Turkey Creek, a fresh water creek in Niceville that is super cold. The kids loved it.
