A great weekend

We had the good fortune to be invited out of town for this past weekend. My DH was out of town on business, so the boys and I went to Sulphur Springs with friends. My friend also has two sons, so it was great for the four of them to do guy stuff together all weekend long. Throw in grandparents who have a go cart and 9+ acres and you get the drift of our weekend! The boys drove circles around the house until the drive chain broke on the go cart....and we still had the better part of a day left to fill. There were some nice parks that kept the boys occupied when the go cart wouldn't go.

My friend and I had time to partake of our common hobby while there as well. So we worked on year end teacher gifts. That's good since school is out on Thursday!

It was a great chance to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. I grew up in the country, so any chance I get to leave town is welcome. I think my favorite part of the weekend was pushing one of my sons on a swing hung from the branch of an enormous oak tree that is at least 200 years old. That was relaxing.
