Mother's Day Weekend

With John working out of town, he is not home for all special days.  He was gone for Kenna's b-day, and will be gone for Emmy's b-day but... he was home for Mother's Day and will hope to be home for my (ahem) 30th b-day!
For mother's day, we took advantage of the warm weather and went camping for 3 days. What better way to spend a special weekend, then together camping, boating and fishing. Just the look on the girls' faces when they were reeling in their first fish was priceless.  It was HOT for the first 2 days, and we all got some color. And then there were the mosquitoes. I think I got 25 bites between my knees and ankles, never mind the one on the lip and the eyelid. And most of those were done during the night when I was "sleeping".
 And to top it off, I got a Tassimo machine with chai tea latte packets, all thanks to Kenna who put the bug in her daddy's ear! I would have been just as happy if I would have just got a card from her.  It was touching to read it:
Emmy said: Best mom forever!
Kenna said: You have shone light into our lives. What mom took us to the store and got candy for us, you! What mom loves us soooo much you!

I will end with some pics of camping

Worked good for John.. started off as a joke, but he didn't take it off, so I had to take a picture
