We just had a lovely weekend! Some friends from PA came up for a visit and we packed the time full of fun fall festivities: we went on a field trip to the local fish hatchery; we picked grapes; we took a scenic drive near the lake; we chased kids around; we shouted at each other in order to be heard above the laughter and play of children (there were 11 kids all together!); we ate good food; we did LOTS of dishes (we? we? DARLA did a lot of dishes! Thanks, Darla!); we had a great time. We let all the kids skip naps... then put them to bed early. They ALL went withOUT a fuss and us 'old' people sat up chatting for a couple of hours eating ice cream with brandy-soaked black raspberries for a topping. The air was crisp and cool - but not cold; it rained a little - just enough to get everyone wet; the sun shone brightly and clouds scooted by on the breeze.
Fall is coming! Hooray!
Yep, it was a great weekend! Thanks for your wonderful hospitality and the great food. The kids are already looking forward to the next time and as for the dishes, i probably did the same amount the whole weekend at your house as i do at one meal at mine. Maybe the kids could start sharing plates around here........
