A Weekend in Hillsgrove

We spent the weekend up north at a cabin with our church small group. To say it was much needed would be an understatement. Give me mountains (the PA version will have to do), a creek, crisp weather, a campfire, hoodies and jeans, no cell service or television, good food, games and well, I almost feel like I'm back home.

We had 11 adults and 8 kids, 8 and under, in a nice 11 bedroom cabin. It was relaxing and a much needed break for me and my family. The weather was absolute perfection. We so enjoyed getting to know new friends and spending time together outside of our bi-weekly meetings.

Enjoy the pictures!

These swings were a huge hit. There were many an under-doggy given by the daddies. 
Some lovely ladies...Heather, Sarah, and Kate. 

Getting ready to enjoy pizza mountain pies and hotdogs over the fire.

The girls with Kaela and Claire...Go Team!

  
Little Man was loving this rock-throwing business. Luckily everyone stayed dry!

Hey mom, look at me!

Will & his buddy Benjamin. 

They were very excited about their "dinosaur egg".

Don't you love when you try to take a nice picture but everyone decides to look at different cameras...

Enjoying the perfect hoodie-worthy weather around the campfire.

Mommy needs a hoodie to match Will's hat (hint, hint).

Libby and Kristel, the single girl in our group that the girls have made their new best friend.  Libby asked her to move in with us. Watch out Karisse...

Campfire snuggles
Now we're home and at some point it became October. I probably say this all the time but I really can't believe how fast the years seem to go. This month is full of fun things: fairs and parades, a certain little girl's birthday, being a tourist in my own county, a weekend away for Matt and I, and the much loved Fall Fest. And then it will be November. Sheesh. Just gonna enjoy it as it comes! Happy October!
