Weekend Trip

My parents were kind enough to watch the kids overnight for us, so Cory & I could sneak away for a day.  Since the school year is starting and we're getting back to our routine, it was nice to have a little time to rest and rejuvenate before getting back in the swing of things. We stayed in an adorable bed and breakfast with a wonderful view.  It was so quiet and peaceful.  We went out for dinner that night and had a piece of peanut butter pie for dessert that was to die for.  The next morning they served us a home-cooked breakfast on the deck of the B&B, overlooking the mountain.  It was wonderful!  

 After checking out, we canoed down a river not far away.  Obviously no pictures from the river, but here's one before we got on.  Even though the river was down, we didn't scrape bottom too many times.  The river was nice, quiet and peaceful and it was fun to work together as a team, as we worked our way down the river.

After canoeing, we got take-out from one of our favorite restaurants and went to a near-by park to eat it.  It was really nice--so quiet and relaxing and lots of good conversation.

We definitely came back feeling refreshed and so grateful for a little time for just us. :)

 

While we were gone, my parents let the kids do lots of fun things, like making "recipes" out of whatever items are on hand.  Delish! ;)

 

And they also helped them make their own puppets and put on a puppet show.  It looks like they had just as much fun as Cory & I did.

And now, back to reality. :)
