Grand Adventure

My sister and her family came out to the house for a few days last weekend. It was a wonderful time of catching up, playing games, and eating excellent meals.

We broke out into an intense game of beanbag toss. The girls really got into it, and really got good at scoring points. We also played ping pong for bit, with McKinley doing his usual “ball fetch” game. He’s very quick, but has learned not to demolish the balls anymore, making it a fun side game to chase him to the downed ball as fast as you can!

But nothing compares to hanging out at the fire pit. With the new chair set (they recline) it’s arguably the most relaxing place to be on the property. Quiet, with the sounds of the campfire crackling in the background, clear skies, and a comfy chair. At night the stars are very visible and my personal favorite is to look for shooting stars. Nothing beats it.

I’m very grateful they came to visit, and I look to many times more like that when Shell and I retire here (sooner than it seems!).
