Camping Get-a-Ways, Weddings, & A Visit with Mima

So this weekend we had a chance to get away for a camping retreat. 

A Sunrise Wedding on the Beach helped us plan the location, 

We had the blessing of watching some of the grandkids 

while mommy and daddy went to the wedding. 

It's always a challenge trying to wrap things up with our business

before we head out of Dodge, but we decided to leave Wednesday night 

because we wanted to drive further south to visit Mima the next day.

So we got up early Thursday morning, jumped in the KIA and headed south. 

The skyline of downtown Miami is amazing.
I caught a view of the stadium, too.

We had a nice visit with Mima then headed back to the campground.
It was about a two hour drive but it passed quickly.

Mark, Meagan, Ethan and Abbey arrived Friday afternoon around 1:00 pm.

We went out to dinner then headed back to the bus with the two little munchkins.
This was our dinner by the way, and it was delicious!

When we got back to the bus Manny took Ethan fishing and I hung out with Abbey.
Abbey and I watched a squirrel and a bunny that stopped by

 

There was also "bubble" time.

We had such a fun night!

Once we went back inside the bus I gave Abbey a bath and Ethan got a shower.
Once in their Jammie's and ready for bed, we put on a movie,

But before long sleepy eyes were starting to overtake us all
So we turned off the movie and the lights and we all went to bed.
Everyone slept great and before we knew it - it was morning.
Time for breakfast

A little while after breakfast we finished the movie we had started the night before

and of course we had to make popcorn

Ethan was excited about that movie

We finished the movie and then mommy and daddy came to pick them up.

We were sad to see them leave, but they needed to get home.

We were sad, too, that Hannah and Sarah didn't get to join us

but they were having a mini vacation of their own and we were so happy they got to do that.

Manny and I had a really relaxing weekend.

This campground was very pretty.

We left this morning at 11:00 am

and were home by 1:00 pm.

And then it began to rain....

We were so thankful we made it home before the rain started. 

Now to catch my breath before the new week begins. 

Hope you had a great weekend, too!
