It's been a little while since I've written a blog...lots has happened, but not much worth repeating. Although the break from "drama" has been nice, sometimes I feel like I'm not experiencing life like I should when a few weeks go by and nothing has really "happened"! I begin to wonder if I am doing something wrong, sitting back and watching more than participating.
Let's see...we went to Lincoln's family reunion over the 4th of July. We always go to this little "resort" (I'm using that phrase very lightly) in Rockaway Beach by Branson. The family has been going there for 14 years now. We all rent out little cabins and those who own campers park their campers in the field next to the cabins. Most of the time is spent just sitting in the "circle of love" (as Justin so kindly named it several years back when he joined the family), swimming, napping, and eating! There are usually a few excursions planned such as a boys disc golf day, girls shopping, a movie, and put put golf. Of course you are welcome to participate in all or none of them. This year Lincoln did the disc golf morning while I went "shopping" with some of the girls and then just our family of 4 went to the Dinosaur Museum. We did lots of swimming, visiting, and eating of course! Although I enjoyed the trip overall, I have to say...I HATE FIREWORKS! I have never been a fan of them (I burned myself on a sparkler when I was probably 5 and have never really moved past that experience), but since having children...I really hate them. They keep my kids awake until all hours at night, which keeps me awake, and puts us all in very crabby moods the next day. Two nights in a row of this and my nerves were pretty much SHOT. Pretty much everyone headed to their respective homes on Sunday after eating a breakfast out. We headed over to Castleview to another night with Lincoln's parents and grandparents. It was a very enjoyable day with lots of pool time, golf cart rides, and visiting!
This pretty much sums up our 4th of July vacation. It was nice to get away - but always nicer to get home!!!
