Happy Campers

Hello!

I'm playing catch up a bit from the end of 2019 here. Wanted to update the blog with some fun pictures from adventures of late Summer and Fall 2019.

We loaded up the Camper and made a trip to Arkansas over Labor Day weekend which was really nice. We stayed on the river and the fog coming off of it was so pretty in the morning.  I loved the early morning fishing trip and how ethereal the river looked. We saw lots of cool birds too.

Some of the best things about camping include hanging out with the family, cooking s'mores and exploring the campground on bikes. Quinn was particularly sad when the Summer was over because he had so much fun on these little weekend trips.


Speaking of Summer being over, the kids had a blast on swim team and hanging with their buddies at the pool (Mom and Dad had fun with our buddies too!). We love the Carriage Club where we all have lots of friends.

The first day of school was always stressful for me when I was growing up, but these kiddos were absolutely thrilled and more than ready to get back into the swing of things. Murphy, however, was not so happy to have them gone all day. When they loaded up in the car for the first day of school, he sat by the back door and cried!

Before we knew it, October rolled around, and with it, Fall Break for the kids. We headed down to Disney World to check out Star Wars Land and other cool sights. It was a fantastic trip! We were in SWL early in the morning when Quinn spotted Rey walking by herself.  I got this neat picture of the kids with Rey.... I think it is a keeper!

With 2019 almost in the books, I can say that we enjoyed lots of family time in the 2nd half of 2019 for sure. Next year, Jason will be traveling a lot to Colorado Springs to oversee the car wash development there, so travel for fun may be limited (other than the occasional weekend ski trip of course!).

Signing off for now.
