Short recap of our weekend...

We're back! We left Thursday for our annual trip to play with fellow tractor and Steam Engine lovers. Each year, the weather has been an issue. Either it's very hot or rainy. This year, we were blessed with beautiful weather and georgeous sunsets.



As you can see, the kids enjoyed their vacation.



While we had to endure arguments between the kids and even between eachother, we all had a really good time.

Our last night there was spent around the campfire with friends. I only hope they all had just as much fun as we did. The laughter was great for the soul. It was nice to connect with old friends in a relaxing atmosphere without the interruption of the kids (they were sleeping). Apparently, the location of the firepit was an issue for one who toppled over backwards taking his sister along for the ride too. He claims that his chair was sitting on a hill. I'm betting the slight incline he was sitting on may have been a factor but I presume the adult beverages played a factor into his topple as well. His sister was sitting next to him and when he started to fall, he grabbed her chair and pulled her backwards too! Thank goodness she didn't do the same as I was sitting next to her.

My back pain has been successfully kept at bay with various medications. I waited until bedtime to take the ones that would prohibit me from functioning. I was able to come home from vacation and take a long nap. Even so, I'm still exhausted.

I have so many more incredible photos to share with you but I am starting to feel the effects of my pain meds. I suppose this means that it's about time to go to bed. Before I go, I'll share with you the beautiful sunset we came home to see. It was the perfect ending to a great trip.
