Camp Stand 2013!!

As I mentioned before, I was called to be the YW Camp Director. I was pretty excited. I haven't been to a Young Women's camp in a LOOOONG time!! I was even more excited to have Mikah come with me.

So we all met at the church on Thursday, July 11 at 8am. Mikah and I were a tiny bit late. I was running around all morning making sure I wasn't forgetting anything! Crazy times. We met and said a prayer and then all got into vehicles to drive to camp. Our camp was just outside of Cardston at Horseshoe Ranch. It was a very pretty campsite right by Lees Creek.

Camp Stand ready for the girls to arrive!! This was the night before.

As we were driving I was noticing how windy it was getting. It was crazy windy. We pulled into camp and I divided the girls up into tent groups. We decided before hand that we were going to divide the girls up before hand, instead of having them all go with their friends. I know some girls weren't really excited about it, but I think it turned out pretty good.

Then we gave everyone their tents and we started setting up tents. Well easier said then done! It was super windy and tents were blowing everywhere. It took us 2hrs to set up 7 tents. Then to make things worse the leaders tent was blown to bits!! The wind flattened it and splintered the poles. So we were without a tent. We decided to get the girls set up and then worry about what we were going to do!

By this time the girls were all starving. So we had everyone grab their lunches and we had lunch. We had decided that the leaders were going to sleep in Miller's cargo trailer. That's what we brought everyones stuff up in. It worked out perfect! It probably looked funny to have 7 leaders all packed into the trailer!

Here are 5 of us squished into the trailer. I am the 2nd from the right.

We then had our first activity. They made some key chains and then I taught them how to read a gps and sent them geocaching. They were all excited, but nobody found their caches. Darn it! Luckily I had come up the night before and put together a treasure hunt at camp. So they all followed it and found a cache with some backpacks in it that said, Camp Stand 2013. So glad that worked out!

After that it was free time. The girls went swimming, some went and had a nap and others played games. It was fun to sit around and visit and get to know everyone a little bit better. Then we started to get supper ready. The girls were given assignments to help with preparing and cleaning up all suppers, lunches and breakfast.

The Laurels made us some yummy dessert in dutch ovens. I helped dish it out.

It was Mikah's groups turn to clean. I helped them a bit.

We were all pretty exhausted after supper. I was done...so so tired. But after supper we had a little break. I could tell that Mikah was having a sad moment. I felt so bad. I went and put my arm around her and asked if she was ok. Well that made her start to cry. So we went for a little walk. She was feeling very homesick and missing her mom and dad. I finally got her to calm down and we went back and enjoyed the fun fireside together.

After the fireside we got the dance party started. The girls had a blast with all the glow sticks. It was fun to watch them be so crazy and have so much fun!! Mikah and I had some good laughs together! By the end of the evening some girls had the glow stuff all over their hands and faces. Crazy girls!!

Crazy girls!! Mikah is on the far right.

It was finally, time for bed! YEAH! I was exhausted. So, so tired, that I had trouble actually going to sleep. I couldn't. Plus I was freezing cold. I was laying there when I heard a weird noise and the trailer jerked. I sat up and nobody said anything. Then I felt it again. So I said, "Somebody is messing with the trailer." I made sure Julie had her keys to the truck. Then I ran outside. But it was super dark out and I couldn't see a thing. Later, Bishop Killian told me I looked right at him. They were hiding! ANyways I got back in my sleeping bag and tried to get warm and go to sleep. I felt the trailer move again, but I just went to sleep. In the morning I woke up all cuddled up to Kristine Strate's mattress. Good thing she had a big mattress. We all slept in till 8:30am. It was so dark in the trailer that the sun didn't wake us up. It was so nice!! Well when I walked out of the trailer I noticed that the front of the trailer was almost on the ground. I KNEW they did something. That's why I kept rolling toward the front of the trailer! Crazy!!!

We had a yummy breakfast and then we were waiting for Richard to show up because he was doing archery for us. Again we divided the girls up and we had 4 stations to go too. Archery, tying knots, beach volleyball and horseshoes. It was a fun morning. I think everyone loved the archery station the most!! Thanks to my awesome husband for taking time out of his day and doing that for us. He's pretty great!!

Here's Richard teaching a group of girls how to safely shoot a bow!

Mikah's group learning how to tie knots. She's in the orange shirt.

Here we are walking over to the horse shoe station. Mikah kicked butt in this one. She did awesome!

Richard was packing things up and I was helping get things back into the trailer when Mikah came up to me. She started crying and said she wanted to go back with Richard. I felt so bad for her. Break my heart. I called Stacey from my cell phone and got her on her lunch break. She talked to Mikah and then talked to me. So we got Mikah's things and got her in the truck with Richard. He later told me that he was trying to make her laugh. He was driving crazy and doing crazy things. He got her laughing pretty good! Now she thinks he is a crazy driver, which he is!! ha ha!

After lunch it was free time again. We let the girls do whatever they wanted too. It was hot out so I got my swim suit on and went in the creek with some of the girls. We floated around the horse shoe bend. It was a hard work out on my stomach because it was so low. So I only did it once!! Then I went and crashed for about an hour! I was so tired.

We had Bishop Killian and Brother Robinson be our priesthood leaders for Thursday and Friday. I had lined up Brother Olson and Brother Humphrey's to come and switch them Friday night. We found out later that Brother Humphrey's had a family emergency and couldn't come, so Barry Robinson was going to stay. Well about 7:30 I looked over and there was Richard walking up to us. He came to switch with Barry. It was such an awesome surprise. I loved it.

The girls signed each others pillow cases after supper. I made one for Mikah too and gave it to her later.

Our plan was to head up to the top of the ridge (that overlooked our camp) for our spiritual fireside. We were going to leave around 9:30pm, so it would be dark and we could see the lights to the Temple. Well we were running a little bit behind schedule. We left just after 10pm, so we all loaded into 2 trucks.

Here we are! All the Young women and their leaders ready for our fireside. This was just before we loaded into the trucks!

The fireside turned out perfect. I was asked to conduct it and start it out with a spiritual thought and my testimony. Then the girls took turns bearing their testimonies. Richard and I sat together and it was so neat to share something like that with him. It was amazing. He kept saying, "Wow, YW camp is awesome!"

We got back down to camp after midnight. I had no trouble going to sleep that night. So tired!! But a good kind of tired! ha ha!

Saturday we had breakfast and then packed up. By this time I was starting to lose patience with girls. Some just wouldn't start moving. Drive me crazy. So we started taking the tent down with them in it. So mean, eh?! But it worked. They started moving really fast and got everything out!

Then we loaded up and drove to Waterton for our hike. We hiked up to Bertha Falls and then turned around and hiked down to Bertha Bay. It was a really good hike. We had lunch on the banks of the lake at Bertha Bay. Then we had a short spiritual thought after lunch. It was the perfect way to end our camp.

We saw this Grizzly Bear just as we were coming into Waterton! It was crazy!

Most of our group just before we started hiking. They are showing off their new hiking bags!

The girls hiking...don't they look excited!! ha ha!

Taking a little break!

Here is Bertha Falls.

This was just before we got to Bertha Bay!

Richard and I eating lunch on the Beach!! He loves it when I take his picture!

The girls giving us a little spiritual thought.

It turned out to be so hot out. So the girls and Sister Barnett decided to go jump into the lake. We watched them. They all were fully clothed. Nobody had a swim suit on!! Anyways, most of them came back and the girls were giving Richard a hard time, telling him to jump in. He said, "If Sis. Spencer will than I will." I said, "OK let's go!" So yeah, we both jumped in. I really didn't think he would and he thought the same of me! Oh man, it was freezing! The dock was way over from where the rest of the group was. Richard took of his shirt and he looked at me and told me he was going to take his pants off too. He thought we were far enough away, I laughed and told him no, because I knew some of the leaders had some real nice cameras!! Luckily he didn't, because here are some close ups of us jumping! ha ha!

Richard and I jumping in our first time!

Getting out of the freezing water and Richard yelling "I DID IT!!"

Richard talking me into jumping one more time!

Here we are jumping in once more! Kaylee Jackson came and joined us!!

We then had to hike out in wet clothes. One of the girls had an extra pair of joggers that fit me. So I hid in the trees and changed. So glad I did. We then drove back to the camp site and got the rest of the vehicles and trailers. Then we headed home. It was a great camp. So glad I was able to be apart of it. So much fun!!

David and Jill's Wedding!

So my little brother, David, got married this summer. CRAZY!!! We were so excited to have Jill join our family. She fits right in! They got married on Saturday, July 6, 2013! Funny thing is, it's Richard's birthday too!

So I helped decorate and set the family dinner up on Friday (that's why we came home Thursday night). I told the kids that we were going to celebrate dad's birthday that night, since it was going to be all about David and Jill on his birthday. They were excited.

I got an ice cream cake and we already had his gifts. We got home and I ordered pizza and we had our little party ready to go!! Oh I should mention that at about this time, I realized my temple recommend just expired on July 1st. Oops. Luckily I figured it out before the wedding. So we had to run to the church to meet a member of our bishop bric for my interview. Then I got my interview with the stake presidency Saturday morning as we were headed to the temple. It was a little stressful, but so glad it worked out!

Look at all those candels!!

Everyone helping blow out the candles!

Cadence and DJ giving their dad a card and gift! So cute!

Anyways, we had our dinner and sang happy birthday to Richard. DJ made sure we put all 37 candles in the cake. It looked like the whole cake was on fire! The kids thought that was hilarious! They all helped him blow the candles out. It was a fun evening as a family.

Saturday was a busy, long, fun and awesome day!! We went to the sealing, which was amazing to be apart of. I sat by Cody and he turned to me and whispered, "Are you going to cry?" Which I laughed and said no. He said, "Good, because that makes me very uncomfortable." So funny! I had to tease him about it later on. What a crazy brother!

Then it was picture time once the bride and groom came out of the temple. The day was absolutely beautiful. Not too hot or windy. Perfect! DJ decided that he wanted nothing to do with pictures. He wouldn't put on his pink tie either. He can be super stubborn. Drive me crazy. Plus all the cool pictures I took on this day are all gone. Still makes me sad. Luckily everyone was taking lots of pictures so I am sharing theirs!

Here's the happy couple coming out of the Temple.

Keira being all adorable!!

All the nieces loved helping Aunt Jill with her dress!

Everyone chatting and having a good time!!

A picture of both families together with David and Jill.

Jill and David with Grandpa Pitcher!

My mom and dad!

Love this picture of Jill with all the nieces on our side! So cute! There's 11 girls.....crazy!

After we took pictures we headed over to the church to see if there was anything we could do to help with the family dinner. The kids had fun playing and running around. I gathered all the nieces and nephews and we practised a song that they were going to dance too. That happened during the program, after everyone ate. Before we ate Travis and Shelley showed up and we quickly got everyone together to do another family picture, so they could be in it too. This one turned out way better for us, because DJ is in the picture. Before he was hiding behind everyone! Crazy boy!

Here's my whole family together with David and Jill.

The family dinner was delicious! I had some super cute pictures of the kids eating beside their Great Grandpa Pitcher. But they are gone! Yup, I am going to keep bringing that up!! After we ate they had a short program. I had quickly put together a cute song for the nieces and nephews to act out. It was called Farmer's Tan. DJ rode his tractor around while the girls danced to the song. It was short but cute. Afterwards, DJ pulled Evan around everywhere.

All the girls getting ready to dance. Trayden and Chase came out with DJ flexing their muscles!

DJ and Evan with the tractor. At the end of the song DJ rode up to the edge of the stage and dumped his bucket which had a big sign that said "WE LOVE YOU UNCLE DAVID AND AUNT JILL"!

Evan loving his ride in the trailer! So cute!!

We then had a couple of hours before the reception. So we went over to Richard's Grandma and Grandpa Spencer's to just relax for a bit. Just after we got there we had a big hail storm. It was a little crazy. Then it rained for an hour or so. By the time we came back to the church it had stopped.

My girls were so excited about all the neat decorations at the reception. They were in charge of putting the gifts in a pile. They loved doing that. I guess Abbi was enthralled with the cake. She kept telling everyone that it was duct tape. I guess she couldn't stand it anymore and she poked her finger into the cake. Then she turned to her sisters and cousins and declared, "Nope the cake is real." Oh boy! I didn't hear about this till later. The lady who made the cake got after Abbi, which she deserved! Crazy girl! I was a bit embarrassed because it was kind of hard to cover up the hole Abbi made. So they turned the cake around. Sheesh!

Shaylee, Mary, Abbi and Cadence looking so cute! Mary holding Jill's bouquet of flowers.

The wedding cake that Abbi didn't think was real. Her big finger print (hole) is on the back side of the cake!

It was fun to visit with family and just mingle. We are so happy for David and Jill. They make a cute couple. Its still weird to think that David is married!! It was a wonderful day!

Mikah and Shaylee!

After David's wedding Steve and Stacey had to head back to Williamslake. All their kids stayed here for the summer. We got Mikah and Shaylee for a week. It was a wonderful week. We LOVED having them stay with us. The kids were in heaven too! They are so much fun!

On Monday it ended up being kind of a cool and gloomy day. So I decided to run to Lethbridge to get some shopping done. We went to walmart and all my kids got into a cart and Shaylee took off with them. It was kind of comical. I told her I would be in the food section. So I shopped by myself the whole time. At times I could hear my kids through out the store, but I was like, meh they aren't screaming!! Ha ha ha!

We then went to Costco and got a few other things. I made a snap decision to go to a movie after that. So I bought the tickets there at Coscto. So much cheaper! We got some lunch and ate it at Costco too. Then away we went to the movie. We went and saw Despicable Me 2. It was hilarious. All my kids thought it was so funny. Cadence only got freaked out twice!! She cracks me up! Glad we went!

This is after the movie! There's Cadence, Abbi, Brianna, Shaylee and Mikah!

And, of course, we can't forget DJ!! What a stud!! ha ha!

As we were walking out of the movie to our vehicle, I noticed the clouds were black and moving in fast. I made the comment that it looked like it was going to hail. We've had some crazy storms this year. Anyways we started driving and sure enough it started to hail. Luckily I was pretty close to The Bay underground parking. I quickly pulled in there and we waited out the storm. It was cool to watch. I took a few pictures too. Well I got back in the vehicle and Abbi was SCREAMING, which was making DJ cry too. Brianna was starting to get worried. I could not get Abbi to calm down. She was pretty hysterical. So we decided to go into the mall to find a bathroom. But Abbi was so freaked out she wouldn't move. I picked her up and we went in. By this time DJ was screaming and Mikah had to pick him up. I'm sure we were quite the sight!!! We finally got everyone to calm down and when we went back out the hail had stopped. So we headed for home!

The crazy hail coming down. It was starting to look like snow!

There was water everywhere!

We went swimming the next day with Mikah and Shaylee. I loved having them with me. They would get right in and entertain the kids. It was perfect. On Wednesday I had to go into Raymond to get my neck adjusted. I was in pain. So while they were waiting for me they all walked over to the Library. But my kids got too crazy and some guy came out and got after Mikah. So they came back! Sheesh! During these days, Mikah and I were getting stuff ready for girls camp. I was called as the Young Women's Camp Director. Mikah was coming to camp with me. We were leaving Thursday morning and coming back Saturday. I was pretty nervous but excited too!

So that's a few of the things we did with Shaylee and Mikah. We loved having them here with us. It was a blast! Hopefully it will happen again!!

Summer Fun!!

Oh my, summer is gone and I haven't posted anything on my blog. First comes the excuses, my computer broke down and I lost my camera with most of my pictures (I am still upset about that). Plus we have been super busy and I haven't had any time to post. So here we are!!!! I am going to try to catch up in the next few days.

June 30 - July 5th

The girls and I decided to do the Family Fun Run in Raymond this year. This was on a Saturday before July 1st. I was so proud of my cute little girls. We got there as everyone was running off, so we took off running as soon as we got there. I ran with the girls till we got to the 1km point. At this time I turned them around (they were doing the 2km run) and got them running back together. They told me they walked and then when they saw the finish line they all took of running! Silly girls!!

I kept going and did the 5km run. I did pretty good. I was able to finish it in 34mins. Not too bad if you take in account that we started about 2mins late and I ran the first km with the girls. I`ve been trying so hard to do 5kms in 30mins. Getting pretty close!!

Here we all are after the race!

There's Abbi, Cadence and Brianna racing to the finish. So proud of them!

Here I am coming to the finish line!

Oh so tired!! ha ha! We did it!

After the run we went to the family pancake breakfast. It was a fun Saturday morning. So glad we did it. DJ and Richard cheered for us, and took pictures!!

For July 1st, we went to the Raymond Parade. Then we went out to my parents for dinner. It was just out immediate family. That is still a lot of people. The kids had fun running around and playing together and us adults had fun eating and talking!!

I decided to take off around 6pm to go to the trailer at Echo Lake. I thought that it would be fun to go for a few days before David and Jill`s wedding. So away we went. It was just me and the kids. They were excited and everyone does so good with traveling now. We really didn't have any problems at all. We got there around 9pm. They ran around and I unpacked and got settled in.

We had fun swimming every day. It was super hot there and fun to swim in the water. There was nobody else at the cabin, so it was nice and quiet. I really liked that! We had fun floating on our new toys and just having fun. On Wednesday I packed up a big lunch and we took off early to the Flathead lake park. We got there around 11am and stayed till after 4pm. We got a good spot right by the water and with a picnic table. It was perfect. The kids had a blast playing in the water. I had fun floating and watching them and then reading my book. Very relaxing! Loved it!

We were just getting back to the trailer when Richard called my cell phone and told me Lisa and Brian were looking for us. Sure enough they drove into the driveway right at that moment. That was a fun surprise. They were camping at West Glacier and decided to come find us. We went down to the lake and swam and then they stayed for super with us. The kids had a blast playing with their cousins. After supper we went and swam again. Then they had to go. The kids and I roasted marsh mellows over our BBQ!! We can't have open fires there so I took off the rack and we roasted them over the flames. The kids thought it was a great idea!! Then I showered them (DJ screamed the whole way to the showers) and put them to bed!

Thursday was July 4th. The plan was to go to the Big Fork Parade. We found out that the Big Fork Ward has a big breakfast so we went there first. We met Brian and Lisa there too. Then we stuck together. We found a place to watch the parade. It was a super long parade. It was so hot out too, we were all dying from the heat. The kids got so much candy it was a little crazy. At the end they threw out full size chocolate bars. Crazy!

After that we were going to head for home. We went into Kalispel and had lunch at McDonald's and the kids got to play. Then I got a few things at Target and we headed out. They have all been asking me to stop at Lake Five again. Like we did last year. So I did. It was so stinking out that it felt good to go jump in the lake! We only stayed for an hour. But it was fun!

We then went on home. We got home about the same time Richard got home from work. It was nice to be home. It was a fun quick trip to the lake. Sadly I have no pictures to share since they were all on the camera. So sad!!

First Camping Trip and Father's Day!

It took us longer this year, but we finally went camping for our first time. We decided to go on Father`s Day weekend. The girls went to school on Friday morning, and I flew into Lethbridge to get a few things. I was able to drop DJ off at the farm with his Uncle David. That saved me a lot of time!

I came home and started to pack. I had gotten the trailer ready and few weeks before. So I basically had to pack up our clothes and some food. I put the girls to work to clean the house. They did a pretty good job. We got all packed up and hooked up ready to go. Then we were out of here.

We got down to Echo Lake at around 7pm. The kids were super excited to be there. We decided to take our trailer back down to Robinson`s at Echo. Just like we did last year. Richard started setting up the trailer while I cooked us some supper. The kids ran around like crazy, outside. It was a little hard to get them to settle down for bed. So we all went to bed pretty late.

Saturday morning after we ate breakfast we headed into Kalispel. We went and did some shopping at Walmart. We had to get food for the trailer and a few other things that we missed. That took us a few hours. Then we decided to take the kids to a movie. We went and saw Epic. It was a good movie and the kids had fun watching it. Cadence and DJ got a little scared, but they all made it to the end!

Then we came home and had a late lunch. It was so nice out, so we played outside and walked down to the dock and threw rocks in the water. The kids were all mad at me because I forgot to bring their life jackets. I didn't think it would be very nice. We left on a very rainy day. But I was wrong. So they splashed in the water a little bit. We didn't let them go right in. Brianna went to go splash me, she bent down to splash me with her hand and she fell, head first into the water. I wasn't very close to her, but Richard was right there and he quickly grabbed her and pulled her up. I was laughing, and she was so mad at me. She was not happy, which, for some reason made me want to laugh more. So she went back up to the trailer with her dad.

Richard and Brianna dipping their feet in the water!

DJ getting more rocks to throw into the lake!

Cute Brianna with her goofy dad!! ha ha!

The kids had fun splashing in the water!

DJ wasn't sure if he should put his feet in or not!

Here's Cadence with her new hat we bought her. She needs something to keep the sun off of her!

DJ got a new hat too! So cute!

We spent a lot of time practising playing catch. I brought our gloves and balls. Abbi has been doing coach pitch and we needed to practise catching and throwing. I was very impressed with all my girls. They did very well. We probably spent hours just throwing and catching. They loved it. We only had a few mishaps. Richard threw a ball to Abbi and it hit the top of her glove and then it hit her mouth. Poor girl. Her lip was bleeding and she was pretty sad. She ended up with a big fat, black and blue lip. Cadence got a soft ball in her face too! But overall, they all loved playing catch!

Abbi and Brianna playing catch with a tennis ball.

DJ and Cadence had fun exploring in the trees and making little forts!

Abbi playing catch with her dad.

Brianna playing catch with her awesome dad!

Sunday we got up and got ready for church. We got there in time and stayed for Sacrament meeting. Our kids were a little wild. Not sure why, but DJ was hard to control. Sheesh! So we came back and had lunch. Then we relaxed for a little bit. We promised the kids that we would go for a Sunday drive in the afternoon.

We loaded up and decided to go check out Swan Lake. Away we went. We got there and parked and decided to follow a paved path down to the water. As we were walking I noticed a caterpillar hanging in the air. DJ almost walked right into it. I stopped him and had him walk around it. Then we looked at the tree and noticed it was COVERED with caterpillars. It was disgusting. We hurried on and got down to the water. We were there for all of 30 seconds when a little fly flew by DJ. Well he about freaked out. He was waving his hands in the air and dancing around and screaming his head off. Everyone was looking over at us. I couldn't get him to calm down though, because he thought there was bugs all over him. So I picked him up and that helped. Then I heard Richard tell Abbi to hurry and get out of the water. I could tell something was wrong. I looked over and there was a HUGE leech in the water and it was floating towards Abbi's foot. AAHHH, so disgusting. It was huge. Richard and I looked at each other and we said, "Let's go!" So that was an Epic fail. But as we were walking back to the car, Cadence was catching all these floating caterpillars on a frisbee. She wasn't touching them with her hand (because she doesn't like bugs), but thought it was funny that she was able to have them land on the frisbee. She probably had over 10 on it. When we got to the car she flipped the frisbee over to dump them out. But a few were still hanging on. I told her to STOP, because there were more caterpillars. Well she screamed and threw the frisbee in the air and started dancing around the parking lot. It was really funny. We got to the truck and there were caterpillars all over it. So gross. To say the least, I felt a little creeped out by the time we got going. Then we had to stop, because everyone was screaming, because Cadence found one on her pants. DJ was crying! It was mayhem!! ha ha! We finally got everyone settled down and told everyone to stop talking about caterpillars even though we could see them crawling all over our windows (on the outside) as we were driving. DJ finally fell asleep. Poor boy, was a little traumatized!! We went for a little drive as he slept, which was nice and calming!

Going for our nice calm drive after all the craziness. Cadence refused to sit back on her booster, she was sure that's where the caterpillar came from!

DJ sound asleep! Love how he sleeps, so cute!

Then on the way back to the trailer, we stopped at the tire park and let the kids play. We sat and watched them. We didn't stay very long, but it was nice to let them run around. Luckily we didn't have the caterpillar problem at our camp site!

Brianna trying out the new tram! She also got a new hat!

Cadence going on the tram!

Abbi decided that she was too big for the tram. I told her to hold her legs up, but she thought it was funny that she could touch the ground!

DJ playing with his awesome matching outfit!! ha ha!

We had a yummy supper of chicken and rice. Oh I forgot to say that it was Father's Day and the kids were super excited to give their stuff to their dad in the morning. I helped DJ get his dad something. It was a pocket knife. I told the kids not to tell him what it was. Abbi liked to always bring it up and she would tell him it was something crazy. Then DJ said, "No me got daddy a knife." It was kind of funny! We got Richard some yummy Father's Day cupcakes that we had for dessert. He is the best dad ever. So grateful for my husband. It was a fun way to spend Father's Day.

DJ eating the icing off the cupcakes!

We were all finished and he decided to eat some more!

Cupcakes for the #1 Dad!!! DJ loved that it said Superman!!

We stayed over one more night. We packed up on Monday morning, while Richard ran to get a plumbing part for the Robinson's. When he got back we were ready to go. We did stop at a few stores and then had lunch at Famous Dave's. Then shopped at Costco and then we were on our way. It was a fun weekend to get away. So glad we did.
