North Country
Too long ago now, we drove with some friends to see more friends-- my cousin Leah and her family. Our memories of time last spent with them involves visiting by candlelight, catching fireflies, and eating freshly-popped popcorn every night, so it's been a while.
We borrowed my brother's tent, and the girls enjoyed their first-ever tent sleepover. The guys set up the tent in the dark, and we woke to the vision of cow fence outside the entrance.
Thanks to McGamma's gift of a birthday pinata, which Millie saved for just this occasion, I got to watch farmboys whacking a purple castle with a big stick.
(It was worth the wait.)
Luci enjoyed the ice cream just as much as I did,
and Leah was considerate enough to promptly serve her a heaping second helping.
On the way home, we almost took a pit stop to see an old friend who has grown into a forest,
and upon arriving home, we discovered my father's fastidious egg-gathering ritual. (Man, we just eat the things!)
Here's to next time! We love you people!

Gosh, I miss reading your words. If you ever jumpstart a new blog, somebody'd better let me in on it.

When cooked, the eggs tasted about the same. (I like your jubilation. It really, truly, makes blogging woth it.)
