Get ready! This is a picture overloaded post! This past weekend we, particularly Rebekah and I, went non-stop. We had a packed weekend filled with fun with friends. Friday morning our friends LeeAnne and Maggie came to our house so the girls could play one more time together before Maggie starts preschool this week. The girls had such a great time at our previous play date that we wanted to get the girls together again. It was another fun visit!
Rebekah was eager to see Maggie arrive. She stood in the kitchen window anticipating her arrival.
Rebekah pulled out her U.S. puzzle and the girls worked on it together for a little while.
Joshua enjoyed himself as well.
The girls hung out on the couch while LeeAnne read a short book to them.
After playing outside, lunch, and more playing the girls finished the puzzle before LeeAnne and Maggie left. The puzzle pieces didn't want to stay together, so it was rather challenging keeping the puzzle intact, but they completed it.
Saturday morning an old friend of mine from church when we were in elementary and junior high school came over for a visit along with her husband and 2 1/2-year-old daughter. It had been years since I had seen Robin, and it was nice to catch up with her. Unfortunately, her daughter was not feeling well and they had to leave after about an hour, but I got to see Robin again on Sunday at church. Hopefully they will visit again soon, and maybe I can get some pics at our next get together.
Saturday evening Rebekah and I went to Coolidge Park to attend Swingfest with LeeAnne, Bobby, and Maggie. We had anticipated all the music to be swing, but the first band played jazz, the second played Big Band, and we left before the third band played, which I understand was supposed to play swing. I was disappointed that we didn't get to hear any swing music. That is what I was really looking forward to hearing. We still had a lot of fun, and Rebekah enjoyed dancing to the music.
Here's a pic LeeAnne captured of Rebekah and me dancing.
The girls had more fun walking along this brick wall! Well, Rebekah enjoyed running along it!
Here's another pic LeeAnne got of the girls. I love Rebekah's expression with her arms open wide!
Riding the carousel - what a hilarious face!
The girls were jumping off the wall while holding LeeAnne's hands earlier then later they decided to help each other where the wall was much lower to the ground.
Sunday afternoon was Paxton's birthday party. Paxton is a little boy in our playgroup, and we celebrated his second birthday at Pump It Up. Joshua only napped for about 30 minutes, so he stayed home with Darrin while I took Rebekah to the party. She had lots of fun sliding the big inflatable slide the most.

Whew! What a weekend it was! It was nice to have Monday as a holiday just to relax and do nothing.

Wow! Take a breath girlfriend, you need it! It sounds and looks like the weekend was a lot of fun, even if it was incredibly busy.
Oh, and you had asked if we camp in the fall. We do, but it's not usually the big events like in the summer. It's harder to get as many people when you are juggling school and sports, etc. We always do an adult-only weekend, too, which is so relaxing and fun.
I meant to add another reason we don't camp as much in the fall---the temps! We are already consistently in the low 50s at night, some nights lately have even been in the 40s. That gets a little cold and uncomfortable for camping!
