Just Sharing

Well...first of all I had a pretty good Holiday weekend. Saturday was the going away party...Wow! Then, Sunday I met up with my parents and we went to the Oglebay Symphony/Fireworks. I had it all planned out to be perfect. I ordered some picnic food, went to Krogers and got some beverages (MOTTS for TOTS for my Sweet P). I filled the cooler and met my parents. Problem was I thought they had it at the lake. So I make my parents repark (they were at the end of the hill on 88). We walk everything down to the lake, only to realize there is only a handful of people there. I call my sister who is already there and she says they are on top of the hill at the amphitheatre.
My Dad carried the cooler on his GOOD shoulder. My Mom, she carried the blankets. I carried the backpack, the 20 piece Chicken order, my purse and some snacks. From the lake to the amphitheatre is straight up hill. I thought I was looking cute until we walked it up the hill. I was so hot and sweaty. But I kept worrying about my Mom, she didn't have her heart pills, plus my Dad has a bad shoulder. I was dying, I knew they had to be uncomfortable. We laughed the whole way....I kept saying "Daddy are we there yet". Finally once almost to the top, a guy in a golf cart gave us a lift the next 75 yards. Only to find out that my sister was on the other side and up another hill. All in all it was worth it! My parents were laughing, we were all together and having fun.
It was a great time. I got to see two friends and their children that I usually don't see. We walked to the car early and I called it a night.
Next Morning, my Dad came over to finish some drywall and brought my Mom and my nieces. Dad was busy working and us girls played computer games. We ordered some pizza and they left. It was fun. My nieces are great. They did get into all my high heels and jewelry..but once I saw I told them it was okay. I gave them each jewelry to take home.
Next day off......back to the mall. My sister and the kids met me at the mall. P got to ride the blue train, I think it was train? My Sister knew the name of it. They came back here and we watched some backyardigans and blues clues. We played with magnets, chased kitties, and had a good time. My weekend was very family oriented, sometimes those are the BEST!!! I love my family, they make me smile even when I do not care to smile. I needed a big dose of them, and I very happy I got it. THANK YOU!
