Last weekend it was my family. Then Monday, J had to return to work and I picked up my FAVORITE sister (and only) and her family and we stayed the rest of the week. These weeks are so relaxing because we take the week to just "be". There is poor (or no) cell service, no internet, and no tv. There is also lots of water, sunshine, books to read, and Legos.
I had to do a job this trip though that I had completely committed to never ever doing. We have a trailer and there are jobs the trailer requires that I have intentionally not learned. This time I had to learn how to empty the trailer's black water tank (toilet tank) because there was no husband to do this. Remember, he went home. It is his job. It is still his job. (Did I mention while I did "the job", my sister stood back, laughed at me and took pictures? But she also was my cheerleader when I was g.r.i.p.i.n.g. It made me feel much better to gripe while I did it.)
Most of the time was spent in the water.
There is not much in life that is more refreshing than that!!

My almost, in 6 or 5 days (if you count my way), 13-year-old (on the right) and cousin B. Where would we be without cousins?
Besties! My A on the left and her cousin R on the right.
The purpose of the trip was to take this one to be a camp counselor near by. He will be an awesome camp counselor! But I'm biased.
Did I mention poor cell service? To get to talk on the phone you have to cock your head JUST RIGHT, and stand on a picnic table at the top of the hill. If you move you might just lose your call.
This is my sister Margaret demonstrating.

it is hard to come home from vacation every time but I hope you had an amazing time
wonderful photos - well done on the black water tank - a job I have so far managed to avoid
You emptied a black water tank? No internet? No cell phone service unless you stand on a picnic table at the top of the hill with your head cocked at a certain angle? You are a way better woman than I am. I think I would've crumbled. lol
Great shots of what looks like a fun and refreshing time for the family! I'm so happy that you joined us for the Crazy Days of Summer photo challenge again this week. I can't wait to see what you come up with next week. The theme will be WATER! :)
Hope you're having a great weekend and have been relieved of your black water duties!
Wonderful pictures. Good for you for tackling the black water tank (a most disagreeable task). And...the acrobatics required to talk on the phone is something that happens daily where I live. ---I enjoyed my visit. :)
