Aaron and I had a blast camping. It was so relaxing...and exactly what the Doctor ordered after Aaron's bad Friday. We headed to Hickory Knob after Aaron was done with work on Friday (Maeve had work off on account of Confederate Memorial Day - no I'm not joking). Saturday we went kayaking in the park.
Aaron unfortunately won the Yahtzee tournament...only by point total as we actually tied 3 game to 3. I did give him a run for his money. As you see here we even had to consult the rules for some guidance.
The rest of the weekend was filled with reading, drinking, sleeping, visiting with new friends camping next door, and smores. The weather during the day couldn't have been better. At night was a different story, with rain, thunder, and lightening nearly all night long both nights. No matter, it was a great way to spend the weekend!
I also took advantage of some time off of work on the weekends to plant the garden. This year I perhaps got a little more brave and decided to plant okra, squash, and beans on top of the old standbys (peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes). As you can see, the garden is doing quite nicely. Now if only the fire ants that have also taken up residence in the raised beds will leave the plants alone, we should be in business.
