John got home safe and sound, and yes there are pictures, but my friend took them and I haven't gotten them from her yet. We left Sunday for a place called Cheney Lake about 45 minutes west of here. We rented a little cabin in a state park which had a decent beach that the kids were not interested in :(
It rained one day so we found a kid's museum, which turned out to be a glorified play/toy area in an old movie theatre in an old ghetto mall. On the way home we stopped by Yoder, a small Amish town for lunch and picked up some fresh sweet corn.
The neighbors shared a pinata with the kids and WAY too much c-a-n-d-y. We also found a small town Fair last night. It was your typical small town America, made for movies, picturesque little town and Fair with petting zoo, carnival, great homemade food, 4-H, and softball tournament. Everywhere we went John was striking up conversations with people and we couldn't pull him away from them! It was insane.
At the campsite(cabin for us lazy people who don't want to pitch a tent) we found a huge field of wild blackberries that JJ couldn't stop picking and Maddie wouldn't stop eating. But JJ wouldn't share the berries he was picking with Maddie, but he wouldn't eat them either. We had a few bonfires and cooked some good campin' food. One morning we made omelette's in a bag. First you crack eggs in a freezer Ziploc bag, squish them up, add your fixin's and then put the bag in a pot of boiling water over the campfire. I roasted marshmallows every chance I could get. I have decided that is one of my favorite things to eat!

What a fun little cabin. JJ's little basketball jersey is adorable. Maddie's hair is so blond. Love the good times you look to have had together:)
omelets in a bag, now that is something I will have to try.
Sound like a fun time!
