A little bit of our crazy life...: A recap of the family visit and the 4th...

I promised a post recapping the last few weeks while Kennie's Dad, step Mom Lisa and brother Harry were here from Florida so here it is!

They arrived Monday the 30th...we pretty much spent every night with them until they left this Friday the 11th. They drove up with their new toy hauler, and brought the 4-wheelers, Dads chopper and Bob the dog...they camped down the road at Sylvan Beach, which was very nice having them sooo close. I took Thursday off to prepare for our weekend camping. We set up camp a few sites over from them and the weekend began! The girls (Longie & Snackie) havent been camping in forever, so the first night was very hard for them to settle down and get to sleep. Friday the 4th...Kennies sister Elisa and brother in law Chris came with the boat. Kennie spent the morning picking up a truck he bought for parts and was stung by a bee in the middle of his eyes...he was very swollen and this wasnt even the worst...it had gone down alot after he took benedryl.

The rest of the weekend was spent on the boat, hanging at the camper and campsite and around the campfire. Of course our adopted brother, Billy also spent the weekend with us! It was a pretty relaxing and laid back weekend, except the little dog scuffle that took place. Longie Sniffed Bob's bone and I think Bob just snapped his mouth to warn her and ended up getting her ear. It didnt look that bad but we ended up taking her to the vet this week...antibiotics and a new diet, as she is 117 pounds, and should be around 100, and hopefully she will survive, but if you know Longie, it was quiet dramatic that her ear is now shaved and scarred!

Sunday a bunch of the Rutherford family members came by for a small family reunion. It turned out to be a great day and we couldnt have asked for a better holiday weekend! It was finally home Sunday night to get everything unpacked and back to work on Monday.

The rest of the visit was filled with fun~We spent sometime with Harry at Sylvan Beach playing in all the arcades and having ice cream! They also spent a few evenings at the house riding four wheelers. Kennie taught his brother how to pop a wheelie, and Lisa and Harry spent hours just jumping the bank in the back of the house and getting air! Thursday night, we took a little ride before it was time to load up the toys for them to head back! All in all, it was a busy few weeks, but it was so great to spend time with the family that we never get to see. We were all very sad to part ways, and cant wait to see each other for Christmas when the baby is here!
