Weekend Happenings

Well, I think this past weekend was the first weekend, in weeks, that felt normal!

After work Friday, I headed home.

While the boys were playing with some friends, I was texting with my friend, Becky

about meeting up the next day to go hiking.

After a bit, she asked if we wanted to come stay the night.

I only hesitated for 1 minute before I quickly gathered a change of clothes for everyone and

told the boys to get in the van and off we went!

It was so nice to get out of the house and do something different, normal!

We arrived around 7:30pm and enjoyed watching the sunset while the boys played outside

and Becky and I visited.

Zane loves their dogs!

Jim always gives the boys a chance to drive the tractor!

Saturday morning Becky, Jim, the boys and I headed out for our hike - it was so nice!

The weather was great, the trails were fun, and the boys had a blast!

 

We were headed home and our neighbor texted to see if we wanted to pick strawberries with them...

yes, of course!

I dropped Zane off at home and Jaxen and I met up and picked a few pounds of strawberries.

They were delicious!

While we were doing that, Nik and Zane were setting up our new little pool!

Since our city pools have not opened, and may not all summer - we purchased a small little pool.

It's perfect for Zane. He loves it and has spent 3-6 hours in it everyday since Saturday!

It's a little small for Jaxen, but he has found ways to have fun in it.

Water guns help too!

We were supposed to have a rainy Sunday/Monday but the storms kept passing us by -

so we kept playing outside, most of the weekend.

It was really nice.

On Sunday, we did get out for a bit because I left my glasses at Becky's.

We met halfway, got my glasses, picked up a few items at Academy and then had lunch together.

It felt so normal!

The rest of the weekend we laid low, relaxed and had fun watching the boys play.

On Monday, Nik grilled kielbasa and corn on the cob. 

We also had fresh strawberries, blueberries, watermelon and brownies - yum!

It was a wonderful weekend!
