Making memories.....

Camping is a favorite for our kids. But when you add a favorite aunt and uncle to the mix and you have near perfection in their minds.

We have had a great time the last two days with my brother and his wife. We went to a pizza place Friday night. Can you imagine waiting for an hour for a table?? Well, we did, based on the recommendation of a friend of my brothers. The food was definitely worth the wait. The restaurant is in the old St. Joseph depot and the kids had an added bonus. While we waited, we could hear the faint whistle of a train. Uncle Terry wanted to smash pennies on the train tracks, but did any of us have any change??? I dug through my purse and managed to locate one penny. They were so excited to wait for that train. It was a freight train and it smashed it flat.

We finally got our table and waited for our pizza. We figured out that the Amtrak was on its way, so Aunt Cindy ran to the truck for more change. This time there were 4 pennies, a dime and a quarter. The kids found all the change but the dime. It was lost forever.

Yesterday we went to the beach. It was cooler then we hoped for, but the kids still had a great time. We even took Emma, and she had fun trying to catch the waves.

Last evening we had hamburgers and sweet corn. Then the "grown-up" boys built a campfire and we had the traditional S'mores by the fire.

What a great time we have had, and despite the fact that Uncle Terry and Aunt Cindy have to leave today, we still have two more days of making memories.
