~ Mama's Weekend Off ~

This past weekend Mama and her cousins ended up having an impromptu girls weekend in Crescent Bar leaving Daddy & Clara on their own - Not really, since they went to stay with Grandma & Grandpa in Quincy for the weekend. It was Kevin's first time with Clara without Mama around, but he had lots of helpers and it ended up being a great weekend for us all. They had a BBQ and swim party at Auntie Sherri's on Saturday and then another BBQ at Grandma & Grandpa's on Sunday afternoon before they came to pick up Mama. Clara loves being with her cousins and seeing all of cousin Ashley & Jason's many pets. Kevin was a nice daddy and even scheduled a playdate for Clara with the daughter of a friend of his from high school.

Mama on the other hand enjoyed the sun, relaxing meals, sipping yummy beverages by the pool, boating, sleeping in till 10:00 both mornings and best of all the company of my FUN cousins that I do not get the opportunity to see that often. It was such a treat! By Sunday morning I was missing Clara quite a bit so was nice when she and Kevin showed up for a little swim time and fun with the family too.

She wasn't too sure of this kiddie pool at first either, but after seeing the kids play and hanging out on the edge for a while she got in and played hard till we had to drag her out of it.
