trouble

Dearest Cousin (you know who you are),

I am both excited and terrified for your upcoming wedding. I know it will be the most amazing, memorable night of your life, it’s after all every girls dream to have a wedding with family and friends, a gorgeous gown, a loving night full of dreams and happy endings. However, I am genuinely scared O may not comprehend this is not her wedding, she talks nonstop about her wedding and her wedding dress and the party and flowers and how excited she is to be having her wedding.

Maybe there is a book on this topic. Like you can buy books on how “every body uses the potty” (oh, which reminds me O wrote a book specifically on this topic) or you can buy books about when your family pet dies and goes to animal heaven. I need to purchase the How to teach your 4 year old she is part of a wedding, but it’s not her wedding. Ugh, I hate to be the bearer of bad news.

Then there is W. Look at that face. It just screamsssss trouble, it may not scream it in an articulate manner in which you the recipient would understand, but you would get the point.

They are both so excited for “their” wedding and ask me nonstop when their going to have it.

MDW

Went to Granite Hill MDW with a huge group this year. We call it “camping” but most all of us have travel trailers which are pretty much like driving a hotel to a campground.

Camping is so great, this years spot was so awesome too. One of the guys had booked it a year in advance! Good spots book so fast, especially for large groups. Most campgrounds consist of a million pull in spots on tiny lots, but this was around the edges of a huge field that was so perfect for the kids to play in.

The girls were in heaven able to just run around like little wild beasts. IMG_2636  I am LOVING this daddy-daughter moment. Such a great pic.

Or this one, accidental capture of my baby being catapulted from the slide. I’m not sure how but she landed on her butt… and of course went back down a zillion more times. IMG_2637 IMG_2638  This is how you travel in large campgrounds, that or walk but who can walk with a herd of children? (most the kids were sitting up by me)

I don’t know about most kids, but mine usually eat better in a group. She actually ate a ham sandwich – um, awesome.

Um, there are no words. Really.

Party in the USA people, we rocked that dance party. O shut it down. Love.IMG_2691 IMG_2695

Community slip-n-slide. That’s whats cool about camping too, neighbors are usually pretty social and neighborly. IMG_2704

This is O on her bike. She doesn’t know how to ride, she says she is scared of it – but she does look pretty cute.IMG_2732
