I am off for a great weekend

Well....it has finally arrived!!!!! I am leaving tomorrow morning for my weekend with the gals!!!! I will be flying down to NC to meet up with my dearest friend Iva, otherwise known as Stellie...and then we will meet up with Tricia and Esther, also our friends from high school. I have never got a chance to do this and had promised Stellie that I would go see her over two years ago. Well, that never happened....and I am just now keeping my promise!! We plan to shop, eat, shop, drink coffee, eat, laugh, gossip, eat....you get the picture!!! Sooooooo tata for now my dearest readers....I will bring back lots of pictures of our wild time!!! Here is a picture of Stellie that I stole from her site.

Our Day at Turkey Run State Park

Starting the long hike on the 'river trail'. Randy is still feeling good and showing his skills!!

Still feeling good in the caves.

Dave and I.....lookin' kinda funny in this pic.
The whole bunch of us taking a rest on the trail.
Chelsey came along with us for the day. I am convinced she thinks we are crazy people.

Sitting taking a rest before we go up yet another hill.

Me and my girls tired after the long climb.

A restful scene at the end of our journey. Love, love, love this picture (except for the guard rails). It is so calming.

Pix with my new camera

These are some neat pix I took of the kids with my new camera that Dave got me for my B-day. I really like it....but really don't know all it can do for me. Guess I need to read the manual....that always helps!! My kids are growing way too fast, it is always more visible to me when I see them in pictures. Sometimes I wish time would stand still....notice I said sometimes.....but for sure not when they are fighting!! :*)

Fall Days

My little Maxine....she looks so cute in this picture!!!

This spider lives on our front porch.....He is sure pretty, but I don't know if he is a bad guy or not.
Austin found this fungi in our woods......it is huge

Mickhi loves to ride the four-wheeler.....and Libby just loves Mickhi!!!

Kristi thinks she can run faster than me!!!

I have been jogging daily (almost) hoping to someday get skinny.
While we were talking, jogging and being silly the guys were out shooting each other with paint balls.......just doesn't make sense!!
Dave has a great big nice ole' red mark to prove he was hit, not my idea of fun!!!

This post is just a mixture of pictures from today. It was beautiful outside and our family came out to enjoy a big fire, food, and fun. I have always been a believer that weekends are for fun and family....and this was no exception. We ladies sat around talking and being silly and the guys rode the four-wheelers and played paint ball. I see no fun shooting each other with little balls and leaving big bruises....it must be a guy thing!!! All in all it was a great day!!!
