Weekend South

We were planning our first camping trip but decided to book rooms at the Belmont B&B instead. The accommodations were adequate enough, hot showers, good food and just a good time all around. (Thanks Mom and Dad)

The kids have been asking to make ice cream and I knew Gma Marie and Gpa Norman could help with this new inquiry. Jo and Gma blended things together while Cole and Gpa prepared the ice cream maker.Vanilla was the flavor until the chocolate syrup was added.
Home made sure is the bestest ever!

Gma made some diapers for Jo’s baby and that led to the kids getting to try out the sewing machine. First was just trying out fun stitches on scrap fabric, stars, flowers, suns and leafs to name a few. After this, new pillowcases must be made.



The other activities we managed to squeeze in this weekend:
Connie’s softball game and singing her Happy Birthday.

Half of a Hawaiian concert, Gma was ready to head out after the third song or so and the rest of us could take it or leave it. So at the break we left it.

Burgers at the Elks lodge and then watching the Graffiti Cruz. Oma and the kids were treated to flames out the exhaust pipes. This brought smiles to their faces.

Quite a few garage sales from which we all came home with at least one thing we really needed and never thought was invented before! (Gma was the only one with the will to keep her pocket book closed)

The first Lord of the Rings movie, Cole just has to see the rest now because the ring has not been destroyed yet!

I guess that’s about it. We are now catching up on laundry, watering, cleaning, general work and our lives for a few days. Then off we will go again, north to the Smith clan….
