Labor Day Weekend..

WHEW...I'm worn out...we had a GREAT weekend! First, because Michael came home. We just love it when he comes home. He got in Friday evening after driving through some nasty rain. The "boys" played scrabble Friday evening until the girlfriend arrived. I'm not sure who won that game??

Having a little wrestling time. Jacob thinks Michael is "it"...he loves it when he is around also!

Roger worked on the siding of our house Saturday. It is a slow process, but that's OK..it is looking nice. Saturday evening some of our friends were camping and we went to the campsite and had a fish fry. All the college boys were in, they all spent the night together and had a good time.

Every Sunday of Labor day weekend, we have a family reunion. Here my dad is drilling Michael about college.

Our family picture.

Then on Sunday on our way home, we stopped at a campsite where my girlfriend from St. Louis was camping. We have been friends for many many years. We both started teaching the same year at Norfork, became instant friends, and have continued our friendship over the years. I could talk to this girl all day...I wish we lived closer. She is originally from Mtn. Home.

Sunday night back to the other friends campsite to cook steaks and hang out. LOVE to eat outdoor camping food. My whole crew does. Love the whole setting and just hanging with the friends.

Ahhhhh...today we finally got our lake time! It was a gorgeous day. The girlfriend and some of our friends went out on the boat.

Michael watching Roger cook on the boat. We like to cook on the boat. Jacob always says its the "best" burger he has ever had.

Then....6:30 came and it was time for Michael to head back to Fayetteville...OR as he says "home". Got my phone call around 9:15 that he made it "home" safe and sound!

Our little family continues to adjust to Michael being away from home. I have good days and bad days. It always hard when he leaves. But we are so thankful that Michael is content......

I will patiently wait for the next visit...
