And we're off!!!!!!

In a few hours we will be off for the weekend. We are going to Isabella's soccer game at noon and then heading straight out to travel to spend the weekend with my moms side of the family in Ohio. Small town of maybe 100 people - no cell phone coverage (apparently AT&T hasn't felt the need to put towers around the area). The kids play in the barn, catch frogs/toads, swim in the creek and lots of other great fun things. My city girls LOVE this weekend and look forward to it every year.

The adults play cards until wee hours in the morning. Have cook outs, talk, take pictures and play corn hole. Minimal money is spent and the focus is just family, family, family and lots of fun. On Monday we always go to the church and have a memorial day service and then go to the local cemetary and have a playing of taps, 21 gun salute and then we place flowers on the graves of all the men and women who served this great country! It's awesome.

Steve is hanging back here at the Casa and going to the Indy 500 on Sunday. We've lived here for 2 years but this will be the first time he has gone. A vendor of his at work gave him 2 tickets. I told him to root for Jeff Gordan to see if he knew Jeff was a Nascar driver vs Indy driver - he did. My man is so smart. LOL

Then.....we leave Thursday evening to spend the week at the BEACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are taking the kids to Disney and they don't have a clue. We are going to surprise them the morning we head to the Park. Thanks for the awesome hook-up from our neighbor JD!! I in all truthfulness don't want to go to Disney but the kids will be so excited. We are planning a big trip next year and plan to spend about 7 days at Disney so this is just an appetizer until the main course next year!

Have a great weekend!
