A Fun Filled Family Weekend

Sometimes we find ourselves so wrapped up in so many tasks and duties that we find it hard to even enjoy the simple things in life. Mark and I decided that it was time for a short break away from so many of those things that were taking up so much of our time and energy. We decided that it was time for a chance to get away and enjoy watching Brynn laugh and smile and just be happy to be with her mommy and daddy. We took a much needed break and began by celebrating Mamu's birthday on Thursday night with a surprise party and a home cooked meal. Mamu enjoyed all of the fun fishing supply gifts that she got! Then Mark and I took off on Friday to spend some quality time with Brynn. We headed up to Oklahoma and made our way through the adventurous drive at Arbuckle Wilderness. I have never seen Brynn so happy and excited. I was so thankful to have gotten to spend the day with just her and Mark. It was really special and fun...except for the overly aggressive camel that almost took Brynn's hand off and then decided to eat the cup the food was in. Despite the camel, it was one of the most fun days that I have had. Then on Saturday, we went over to Whitesboro for the annual peanut festival. We had a blast walking around with some friends, eating popcorn and cotton candy and doing some shopping! IT WAS THE BEST WEEKEND...WE ALL HAD SO MUCH FUN TOGETHER!
