Family Reunion

So I braved a trip with three kids from Grand Raggdy (as Shauna would say) to Higgins lake last weekend. Daddy was in need of a good rest so off we went in the new wheels...dubbed the "shuttle". The trip up and back was ok...pretty much what I expected: rough at times when the baby wasn't into trippin quietly and not bad when he was sleepin and the boyz were DS'in.


The visit was fun. The company grand. The weather, not so much. We had sunshine on Friday, a touch on Saturday and none on Sunday. Cold, rainy and windy was not what we requested. We went on the jetski once and on the boat once. A trip into the garage revealed mopeds of long ago. Aunt Lori and Uncle Brian gave the thumbs up and the da'boyz got to ride on a moped for the first time. Zachie is still getting the hang of "hold on and don't lean over" but William had that down pat. The ride could have topped out at 55mph but we maxed at 10mph (it WAS a dirt road, after all). Aunt Cher took many grand pictures so once get some of them, I will be sure to post some.


Unfortunately, we all caught colds and are still recovering. Sore throats go along with crappy weather as things you don't want on a fun summer trip.  Cannot wait for next year!

Sorry we missed it. I would've been nice to see the extended fam. Maybe next year.
