what a great weekend!

we had the best time this weekend with my mom, my sister & nieces and family friends.

we filled each day full till we laid down to sleep.
it was great.

sean had a football game but it was cancelled in the middle because of lightning.
those clouds were creepy!

talby had a volleyball game… it’s going to be SO FUN watching her play these next few years!

my mom and i did several hours of antique shopping.
I found all kinds of treasures!
a little red bedside table… a teal tackle box (i can’t walk away from away a good colored box)… linens…milk glass batter bowl… flour sacks… and cute dishes.
but then my Mom found this big gallon size Santa Fe Pears can.
SCORE!!!!
This was the brand that my grandpa sold in his grocery business!  My grandpa was a “Ranney” of Ranney-Davis.
my parents have all kinds of things they have found at antique shops from his store over the years.
but i don’t have any and this can is so perfectly ME!
i said “this looks like it should be at Anthropologie!”  i was in love.
my mom bought for me for my birthday.
thank you mom!

we went to my home town’s craft fair and i ran into several old friends i grew up with.
i treated the girls to a giant lemonade from the lemon shaped lemonade stand.  (yummmmmm)
then we headed out to our family friend’s home for the night.
it was a total blast.

my girls were loving these little boys!
they were so giggly & cute… they all had hours and hours of FUN!

the girls put all the frogs they caught under the fire pit screened lid for awhile to observe them.
i thought that was a pretty great idea.
scott got in for one minute i think but it was pretty cold with the sun almost down.
that water trampoline was too tempting to not try it at least once!

in the morning we got to do a little fishing.
it was windy so we only caught three.

my mom caught the biggest one!

this is the good stuff.
family… life long friends… catching up… making memories… catching frogs… floppy fish…. 3 am wake up calls.  🙂

thankful for all of it!

 

how was your weekend?
