Thursday afternoon I told my boss the guys were headed up to his neck of the woods for a Jeep trip. Being the nice guy he is, he offered us the use of his second home in Shaver Lake for the weekend. We have used it a few times in the past so we had to take him up on the last minute family trip for the holiday weekend. It was a great opportunity to get out of the heat and get a change of scenery.
The only downside to the trip: squeezing the five of us and all our crap-ola into Luke's Jeep.
Yes...his Jeep seats five.
BUT...there is only so much space in the back of that rig.
That also meant Petunia and I would be without a vehicle Saturday while the guys were off wheelin'. Fortunately for me, I enjoyed not having the temptation of running around or going anywhere. I savored the peace and quiet because like most moms, its RARE.
We left town as soon as Luke got off work Friday and eventually pulled into Shaver after 10pm.
Saturday morning Petunia woke us all up bright and early (as usual) and we headed 2 miles up the road to town for a few groceries. (It would have been a perfect day (and distance) to run/walk with Petunia if I had room to bring the jogger stroller) :) But that's ok.
Luke and the boys took off for the day at 8am after dropping us off back at the house. Petunia and I played and played and played...and napped...until the boys arrived home around 3pm. It was delicious, but we were all smiles when they pulled up to the house.
I am always happy to see them back, safe and sound!

Heading to the Farmers Market in town. Ice Cream for everyone as an appetizer before dinner.
A nice old guy offered to take a picture of all of us when he saw me taking pictures of everyone. Thanks old guy!! :) (I tried to cut the Budweiser neon sign out of the background!) hahahaha.
We ate dinner at the usual spot---Shaver Lake Pizza. The pizza is REALLY cheesy, but the boys loved the video games and quarter machines.
Tubbs wanted more quarters....so he had to give me 20 kisses. I puckered up and he thought I was silly.
Waiting for the pizza....after running out of quarters!
The boys loved learning to conquer the world, via "Risk" with daddy. Fortunately for us there were plenty of games at the house to keep the kids entertained.
While the boys played games, Petunia modeled her new pajamas. She is such a ham for the camera. I should of gotten this girl an agent and made some $$ off those dimples and button nose. She eats it up!
Its only 150 miles to home, but Petunia wasn't a big fan....as you can tell.
