The Mundane Life/Finally a Break!

I know most of life is routine and dull, but isn't it nice every once and a while to get out and enjoy? Over the weekend we got to just that. Last Thursday we drove up to Mohican Adventures to stay in a cabin with my son and daughter-in-law. A quiet dinner on the back deck overlooking the river was just the ticket to destress after the hectic week. Friday brought us intermitant showers and drizzle, so we drove thru the Mohican State Park and visited some of the sites there. There was a school group doing some exploration of the river down by the covered bridge, so we got to see them find fish and other natural river life. We gathered buckeyes and BG learned to skip rocks across the water. Saturday was muggy, but at least it didn't rain. We hiked up to Lyon's Falls and drove around to the dam. After a nice lunch, we played minature golf and DH took BG on the go carts while DS tried to speed past them. DD-i-l and I sat out as she is 8 weeks from her delivery date and we didn't want to push our luck. We drove home Saturday night as DH had Reserves to attend on Sunday. His enjoyment time was somewhat hampered working on a PowerPoint presentation he needed (and waited til the last minute to assemble).
I got a little bit of knitting done. Finished a washcloth I had started last week and did 3 more rows on my Queen Anne's Lace shawl/tablecloth. I am in the final pattern, but will repeat it a couple of times to get a nice diameter to fit the fining room table.
