McComb Family

The kids and I went to my aunt's cabin up near Clear Lake. We hadn't been there for a summer or two, so it was nice to head over there and enjoy ourselves for the weekend. My aunt and parents came up Friday night too. Here we all are the next morning enjoying breakfast out on the deck.
Everyone slept outside in beds, air mattresses, or tents except for moi. I slept inside on a nice comfy bed. Here are the kids set-up for the night. Not bad!!

We played lots of card games while we were there. Here's Adam playing Solitaire.

Then we headed off the to pool. Normally there's the regular pool and the "cold pool". Well this year the regular pool was actually the cold pool. It was freezing. Um, yeah no thanks. I didn't get in further than my big toe, but that didn't stop my kids. In they go!!!!

Here's where we set up "camp" at the pool.

We even enjoyed some sand volleyball.

Jenny and her boyfriend Brian came up on Saturday, so here's the gang for dinner. Nice shot Adam!!

And of course a trip to Pine Grove is not complete without a bingo game with Bingo Bob.....

......followed by dancing!!

Good times!! Thanks for the invite Cindy!

Yes, we really are still around but somehow life seems to keep getting in the way of my blog!! It's not like we've been doing anything super fun that would warrant a post of its own -- it's just that we've been busy!!! Here are a few things that have been keeping me from posting......

• Work -- I know what you're saying....."But it's summer vacation." Yeah right. Since I'll be teaching a new grade level (again!!) and developing a whole new program -- I've been busy.
• Softball -- I've lost track but I think we're about 3-3. Considering we've never won a game before this season, we're stoked!!
• Dentist appointments and appointments of all kinds.
• Birthday celebrations that stretch into birthday months (you know what I'm talking about Nate!), and it's not even my turn yet. I know how to stretch a birthday out!!! : )
• Helping my grandma and uncle move (just shoot me if I ever tell you I'm moving -- that house on Morning Mist is so going on the market!!).
• Shopping, chores, shopping, swimming, shopping, BBQs, shopping.....you know, all the "must-dos".

Anyway, hopefully something exciting will happen soon, so I can start blogging again! He he. What have you all been up to?
