A Refreshing Weekend




It's always such a treat to buzz up a mere 2.5 hours to my parent's house for a weekend. They live on 15 acres of hills, prairie, and woods. What a perfect mix, eh? We were hoping to go up this weekend and enjoy the warm spring air, sit on the various porches/decks while sipping coffee, and play outside without getting bundled. Alas, the weather turned and it was cold, windy and it even snowed a little. Oh well.

We still had a great time. Ben spent a good chunk outside throwing the ball for Maggie (a non-stop border collie) and playing tractor with my dad. Marc and I were able to get a few walks in by ourselves and take a little time to breathe easy. My dad topped off the weekend with a cozy meal and kept a fire crackling.

Ahhh...
