Middle America's Worldview

Talk about a cool weekend.

Friday night, I and my daughter went out camping together. It was a Dad's and Daughter's retreat. This was the first one for us. It was out in the sticks at a Church of all things, nearby a lake.

We put up the tent and went fishing for awhile. I have to admit, it made me twinge in missing the simple life. I enjoyed the brief time fishing with her. Since it was the first time I fished in years(literally), and her second time in her life, we really didn't have the proper equipment. However, it was still a treat.

We played games that night and really enjoyed our quality time alone. We crashed after 11 p.m. in the tent and was outta there before 5:30 a.m. After I finally fell asleep, I was awaken by a dumb dog barking in the camp at 4 a.m. (I checked the time). After laying there for an hour, I finally woke Britt up and we headed out. I didn't see anyone stirring that early. Oh well. It was a fabulous time and I look forward to doing it again.

Getting home that Saturday, showered and about 4-5 cups of coffee later, we met the other GirlScout mom's at the destination point. We drove all the way to Hot Springs, Arkansas to Magic Springs. It was a good time, although a bit too much sun.

We didn't make it back home till 10:30 p.m. Talk about exhausting. It was tiring, but worth it.

Sunday at Sunday School and home. I ran and grabbed 21 bags of Top Soil. My son and I did the heavy lifting.

Now we are heavily into a deep cleaning of the house. Yeah, busy and exhausting weekend, but a really cool one.
