We were able to take a mini-trip this past weekend to see my sister and brother-in-law. We don't see them as often as we would like as the miles between us equal a good 4-1/2 hour drive. That's hard to squeeze into a weekend. We were lucky enough this time to be able to leave around lunch time on Friday and stay through until late afternoon on Sunday. That's the way to go!
On Friday night, I was able to go to a Relay for Life with my sister. It was so wonderful to have the time to chat, laugh, and walk at the same time. We rarely get those moments with each other anymore, so I enjoyed every minute of it (with the exception of having to dodge dog poop every lap we made--YUCK). Meanwhile, the boys stayed back home and played some pool.
Saturday was the day Ian was waiting for the most. "Why?" you ask? Well, the boat ride of course! My brother-in-law has a pretty new fishing boat and since the weather was beautiful, we were able to venture out for a boat ride and some fishing. The last time that Ian was on a boat ride was when he was three, so I couldn't wait to see his expression when we took off. As imagined, it was awesome! He laughed and laughed and laughed. I told my husband last night that I wished I had thought to do a video instead. His laughter was priceless. Talk about the lighter side of life! Those are the moments you hang on tight to and bring back out when life is a little heavy.
