Going camping tonight and tommorow just down the road at Sessions Lake State Recreation Area with my sister's family- Melissa, Nick, & Kelsey. It's raining now, Hoping it stops soon. Doris will participate with all the fun except she plans to go home to sleep. Sleeping in a bed right now is hard enough with the pregnancy.

We invited my parents to come down for the weekend too. They didn't decided until this morning if they would. They are coming down tommorrow morning I guess. Mom wanted to come to spend time with the grandkids, but Dad wasn't as excited about the long 3.5 hour trip down here. I guess he told my mom, "Whatever makes you happy". It's disappointing to me. Had there been a Christmas Tree Growers Convention in town, he would have had reservations made months ago. My brother may also be coming. Was invited, but last I knew, it was still undecided. We'll hopefully have a nice time with all. Hopefully.

I ussually find myself dreading the interaction time with my extended family (we always enjoy time with my sisters family though). It drains me. I'd rather be bowhunting, but it's a little early to start obsessing on that topic ;-)Maybe this will be the weekend Spencer figures out the bike- minus training wheels. That would be cool.D
