They dropped like flies....




My sister, Micaiah, and I were talking awhile back and thought it would be fun to go on a family weekend away. We haven't done this since we were all single (last family vacation was 10 years ago) and now that we have spouses and even some grandkids, we thought it would be nice. We made reservations at Heartwood, only to learn that my sister, Tirzah, and sister-in-law, Kat, got sick in the days just before we left. They didn't want to infect the rest of us, especially newborn Korbin, so they (and their husbands) stayed home. That meant the rest of us had to make more fun for ourselves, but we managed to do just that. And we just made reservations for Memorial Day weekend next year to (hopefully) get the whole family involved.




We had a lot of fun looking at the leaves, running around, playing games and talking inside the cabin, eating, and generally being away from the daily grind. Micaiah got more sleep than she does at home, Josh was very good at holding Korbin, my mom was in heaven getting to spend time with two grandbabies, and I enjoyed hearing my dad play guitar. Dave, Mirabel, and I went on a hike in beautiful weather and I am looking forward to returning when everyone is there.
