The Brix family came in from GA and we had our annual Wilhoite camping trip last week. We did pot- luck at the camp site (I should recognize the fact that Matt and Philip did most of the work here) , made s’mores, got everyone settled and then mom, dad and I took Parker back to the house. Where he proceeded to refuse to sleep and get out of his bed and hide, taking us forever to find him.
Ainsley, however had a great time sleeping next to Emma in the camper. They chased fire flies, told camp fire stories, and curled up with their flash lights close to their chests:)
The next day, Philip and the kids took serious naps. I was glad for that because we had plans to go to the Bluegrass Fair with the Stearley’s that evening. It was a perfect night for it, not crowded and not as hot as it has been. We got a funnel cake, Philip won Ainsley an overpriced stuffed animal, and Parker was in heaven that he was tall enough to do most the rides this year (not tall enough for the envied pirate ship which caused quite a melt down).
We also attended the Summer Bash at GG’s place. There was a bounce house, a petting zoo, and icees. The kids were happy:) GG is getting around pretty well and we are thankful she is at Magnolia Springs where they are loving her well.
A bad storm with winds up to 70 MPH ripped through our neighborhood, knocking out our power and sending the kids and I to my parents while Philip was working. Places in Lexington still don’t have power so we are thankful ours wasn’t off long! But long enough to dine on Chinese food with Erin and the kids by flashlight, which was interesting to say the least.
Needless to say this week has had some tired kids (and parents. And grandparents!)
