We really enjoyed pretending to be out of town this weekend while on our stay-cation. When we heard the term we were all about trying it out! When we were engaged one of our pastors suggested that newlyweds go on a weekend trip once a month their first year of marriage and Mike and I thought that was such a great idea and we did go out of town once a month to "get away." It was fun to reminisce about past trips over the weekend and dream about vacations to come. It won't be long before we can go on family camping trips!!! But even if we couldn't go away this time it was so nice to have "scheduled unscheduled" time or "nonnegotiable negotiable" time. We really enjoyed our time of R&R as a family doing nothing!
Here is our girl dunking with Daddy!
And dribbling...
Carter enjoyed watching us play and then had a great time on the swing in our backyard as Mike grilled out for dinner...
Some bubble blowing and catching...
Love this little guy!
The cats even enjoyed the slow paced weekend...
Daddy protecting and comforting his little girl when Elmo loses his blanket to the mean guy in Grouchland. Such sweet memories...
We finished up the weekend with big naps for 3/4 of us...it was a rainy cozy day for sleeping and I headed out to a baby shower for my friend Casey and had some good "girl time"...I'm so glad I was actually really in town to celebrate! Then I came back with Papa John's pizza for dinner to finish out the weekend. We are really looking forward to the "real" vacations we have planned for the summer! But realize that vacationing can really be a "state of mind!" It's amazing how excited you can get about staying home and concentrating on your family!
