Ghost Stories, S'mores, and Good Times

It was a good weekend, and a hard one. Justin's Dad lost his job after being with his company for 35 years. We spent most of the weekend helping them get their house ready to sell. We did manage to have some fun while we were there. On Saturday, we got to spend time with Wayne and Sherry at their home and eat a WONDERFUL meal prepared by them. On Sunday, we met our friends Greg and Jessica at the park down by the river in the UT Campus area. Addie and Connor (their son) got to have loads of fun running in and out of all the waterfalls and sprayers.

After our time with them it was our 2nd Annual Camping Trip with our nephews. Justin pitched the tent in Mimi and Pop Pop's backyard. We built a bonfire and made S'mores! They were so good, and they just taste like Summer to me. After the S'mores, it was time for all of us to share our scary ghost stories. For dramatic reasons, we always hold a flashlight under our mouths. Then, we giggle because we can see up each other's noses. Most stories were not so scary since they were told by 4, 6, and 8 year olds. Justin's story scared Luke so much he slept inside in Mimi's bed. Addie's stories are always funny because they include princesses and unicorns, which usually are not all that scary. A good time was had by all, and we did manage to get a little sleep. (I slept the best, because I made it inside to sleep.) Once again, I am reminded of how fast the Summer goes. It's really such a gift, and I hope we will always make summertime's special.
