Better late than never

I wanted to blog about our weekend last week but I just haven't gotten around to it. It's been a hectic week andi it's only Wednesday. I was in a 2 day training seminar the last two days and by the time I got home I was exhausted.

This weekend was a very relaxing weekend, it was just Tom and I. Brandon started a new job at the Moracco, a restaurant near our house. He's going to be bussing tables and washing dishes. Hopefully they can give him some pointers and he can start doing dishes at home. LOL

So it was just Tom and I all weekend, it was pretty quiet up there with only 2 or 3 campers around us. Friday night we enjoyed dinner at the club house, we were too lazy to cook our brats we brought up so we headed up for Bluegill, but it wasn't on the menu anymore. I was very disappointed and settled with cod. It was OK, not as good as the bluegill. We had to wait forever for our food and usually they are pretty good, not tonight, we waited over a 1/2 hour just for our salad and bread. And I was starving so I was getting a little cranky.  By the time we got done it was dark out so we headed back to start a fire. We didn't last long because I was tired and wanted to go to bed but it was a beautiful night.

Saturday we slept in and enjoyed the peace and quiet. We got up and made breakfast, bacon and eggs, and then decided to take a road trip to Prairie Du Chein. They have a really cute/fun store called The Canary, it has everything, even an ice cream and chocolate shop. We ended up with a few Halloween items. I can't wait to decorate for Halloween however I don't want the cold weather to come. After The Canary we headed to Cabela's we were after some new chairs and we found a sale! So we ended up with 2 new camping chairs then headed to the campgrounds in Prairie called Sportsmen's club or something like that. Tom and Noreen, my aunt and uncle are permanent there and have been for some time. We camped there once so we decided to drive through to say hi if they were camping. We found there site and only Tom was there, Noreen was in town shopping, go figure, so we chatted with Tom for a while then headed back. On the way out of town I wanted some ice cream so we stopped back at The Canary finally I found the website so you can check it out. We stopped for an ice cream cone, they have the best ice cream aside from Beecher's frozen yogurt. We each had a waffle cone with 2 scoops. I had Moosetracks and caramel waffle and Tom had moosetrack and caramel pecan, I think. Both were delicious.

We got back to Whitetail about 4:30 and set up our new chairs for the race and the Bears game. We can bring our TV from the camper outside and mount it on the camper. It's super cool and unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the TV but I got a picture of the chairs.

It ended up being a cool night so I snuggled up with a blanket and read some of my "expecting" books while Tom watched the TV.  We got a fire started shortly after dinner, we had steaks and cheesy hashbrowns, we threw everything for the cheesy hashbrown in a crock pot before we left for Prairie and it worked out great. They were so yummy! So were the steaks.

Our fire was beautiful. Tom threw in some Xmas lights that, of course don't work anymore, and they make the prettiest flames. We had to share the pictures.

We slept in again on Sunday morning, it feels so good to sleep and not have to get up for anything! We got home about 2:00 and cleaned the house and did some laundry.

We are looking forward to this weekend, Labor Day! We have a 3 day weekend and we will be camping! The last 2 holiday weekends were not spent camping. Memorial Day weekend we had to come home for Micayla's graduation and 4th of July weekend we were coming home from California. We are not complaining, we wouldn't have missed any of this for nothing. We are just excited to spend this holiday weekend at Whitetail with out any interruptions.
