Anyway, knowing our late nights and late mornings were coming to an end, Sean and I packed a lot in our last weekend of freedom, starting with a Spartan football game:

This is a shot of the football-goers. I took it from the driver's seat of my car as I dropped them off. Each fall since we moved here Sean's taken the kids to one home game. He's a good dad.
After church on Sunday we went to Uncle John's Cider Mill. It's a fun place to go for the doughnuts and cider, but yesterday was also the Uncle John's Car Show:
This picture only shows half the cars. It was a big show. Big.
We looked at the cars for a while, took a doughnut break, then the girls and I sent the boys back out for more car viewing while we rode the tractor through the property. Amy said she wished she could do the Detroit Auto Show like that - riding through the cars, carmel apple in hand. Not a bad idea.
Today, Sean's at work for a bit and I have some work ahead of me because this weekend I discovered Rebecca has outgrown each pair of pants she owns. Of course, Amy's hand-me-downs are about a year too big. So I have to go shopping for pants for the child. And for me, that is work. I missed that shopping gene girls are supposed to have.
Hope your last-weekend-of-summer is going well. Just think: only 266 days until Memorial Day...
Rebecca's favorite car of the show!
Thunderbird - Sean's dad would love this one.
When we moved here we were amazed by the number of car shows and the amount of corn fields. Maybe that's why this picture makes me smile - a car show in front of a field of corn. It certainly can't be the car making me smile, because that is one ugly Ford.
Another Rebecca favorite.
Y'all, car people are serious about their cars...
Michael on a doughnut break.

Two parents making the most of their last weekend of freedom. We're worse than the kids!
We feel the same away about this weekend.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to enjoy the donuts at Uncle John's. We've stopped there several times on the way up north to pick up a snack.
It's just very hard to believe that tomorrow we are back to a grind again.
Aaaggggghhhhhhhhh! I feel a bit better.

Terri - I completely agree; I cannot believe it's back to the routine tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteMgB - You took the word right out of my mouth!
That is HILARIOUS (the hand pic)! Looks like you two really made the most out of your last weekend. Good luck with school!
ReplyDeleteHi Christy! Time for my weekly check in:-) I love all the pics! Did you know that I don't have shopping genes either. :-) Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteSo. . . did you go to the meeting???
ReplyDeleteMHWTV - I'd never seen anything like that, which is saying something considering all the car shows I've been to!
ReplyDeleteNancy - so happy to see you here! No shopping genes... another way we're twins!
Tina - I did not! I can't believe it, but I didn't. I'm such a rebel... :-)
I'm having a hard time giving up summer this year, too. I love that you already have the countdown going! I think we should go out for lunch.
