We had a wonderful busy weekend.
Friday morning I attended Hannah's Bash at school, because she won an award. She won the Literary Luminary award. Hannah really enjoys reading now. She struggled a little bit early on with reading and then it finally clicked and she has been an awesome reader.
Friday night Scott and I went to the Cobblestone Harvest Party. Scott has been on the Board for the Cobblestone Project and this is their big annual fundraiser. The Cobblestone Project Farm is a local non for profit that grows produce and donates it to local food banks.
We had a few tables at the event, so Scott rented a bus to drive us out to the Morter Barn venue. The barn is beautiful and was a perfect venue for the Harvest Party.
Here are a few pictures of the ladies
And the entire crew
A lot of the ingredients for the meal came from the farm (potatoes, arugula, peppers, onions, squash, radishes, mint ect).
The drinks and music was good, so everybody had a fun evening.
The next morning we headed to Evan's soccer game and then got ready for a family camping trip with Hannah's Girls Scout troop. This was our first night in a tent with the kids.
We had a great afternoon playing in the creek, running around and playing soccer, doing a scavenger hunt, exploring some caves, going for a little hike, building a solar oven, roasting hot dogs and s'mores.
By the end of the evening Scott and Evan decided to head home, but the girls and I stayed and spent the night in the tent. Hannah had so much fun with her friends and they stayed up late playing card games.
Both girls slept pretty good in the tent. I woke up a lot, but overall I did get some sleep.
We made breakfast the next morning and then started to pack up before the rain hit. Scott brought me a Starbucks to the campsite, which was a welcomed surprise.
We did feel the effects of a long and fun and exhausting day on Sunday and everybody was in bed early.
I think our family might be ready for a few camping adventures.
Last week we had a couple of sick days in our house. Scott was traveling, so I set up pallets on the floor for the kids to sleep on in my room.
Evan had the stomach bug one night and the next day Hannah had a stomach ache, so I kept her home from school just in case (thankfully she never got the bug, just a stomach ache). Evan told Hannah "I am still beating you at throwing up. I am winning". Everything is a competition at our house, even the throwing up.
This little firecracker makes us laugh all of the time.
We were still able to enjoy some swimming days last week. We should be able to squeeze in a few more swims and hopefully a boat ride before temperatures cool down too much.
Evan and Nora still like to play "beer pong". We still have the table set up in our driveway and we just bounce ping pong balls into empty cups. Last week Evan wanted to add water to the cups to play the game. Nora said "I need to drink all the beer too".
