Glorious

This past weekend we went camping to Hendricks, MN with my family. I just love having nothing to do and nowhere to go for a few days. We got there Thursday evening just in time to make "pudgy pies" in the campfire. Mine was pizza. I could live off pizza. Yum. Then Friday was a dreary, misty day so we stayed inside most of the day except for a shopping excursion to a thrift store where I spent some time looking at useless but interesting items. If anyone is looking for old Avon perfume bottles, go to the thrift store in Hendricks. They have a plethora of them. Saturday afternoon we tubed behind the boat. My neck is still sore. That evening we had a little campfire again. More "pudgy pies". Pizza of course. Sunday morning we tubed again on an insanely rough lake. Anita somehow convinced us to do it. How I don't know. But it was fun and I am only a bit sore from that excursion. I did take a shoulder and a butt to the chin from Anita. Luckily my tongue was hiding in the back of my mouth at the time. Otherwise it would have been painful.

Bennett was super during the camping trip. He loved playing outside with his cousins the whole time. Only a few fights. But now he has a cold from one of them. Too much close contact I guess. Oh well.

Sunday evening we went to Sibley, IA for a picnic with Kurt's mom's family. It was great fun and great food. However, I was too tired to fully enjoy it. Got to meet Kurt's cousin whom I have never met before. Found a walnut for Bennett to play with. Ate a couple brownies to curb my chocolate craving. Yum.

Yesterday I mowed lawn all afternoon. I did take a break inbetween to help Kris try to record some movies onto DVD. Found out after she left that the record speed had defaulted back to SP instead of EP so we only got half the movie on the one disc. I continued it on another DVD though so she will have it all. Hopefully tonight we can figure out how to get the other movies done. So, until next time.
