kajelBusy weekend here at the Morgan hacienda. Our internet was not wanting to play with us on Saturday morning. So Ned and I ended up having Tetris wars on the Wii for awhile. You know, playing Tetris was pretty conducive to talking. We had some good and some necessary conversation. Once lunchtime started sneaking up on us, we decided to get out and about. We wandered over to his Dad's for a few hours and then to his Mom's house. We stayed out most of the day.
Sunday, we decided to head up to Morrow Mountain State Park. It is just under an hour from us. A bad wind and rain storm we had in August did a lot of damage at the park and it has been closed for awhile. Some parts are still closed, but you can go down to Lake Tillery again. We couldn't go up to the top of the mountain. Seriously, I consider Morrow Mountain a hill, but apparently the Uhwarrie Mountain range is the oldest in the U.S. I have seen the Rockies....it's a hill. lol
We drove down to the lake and parked. Ned ended up taking the kids out in a canoe for a little bit. I think they got a little overly hot with their life vests on. The both wanted to jump in the water to play. I wouldn't have minded as I brought extra clothes for them. However, you can't swim in Lake Tillery from anywhere in the state park. The signs cite dangerous currents and something else I can't remember. While the kids were in the canoe, Raphie and I took a brisk hike. I headed back and the kids wanted to hike after the boat ride. Luckily, their pace was a lot slower. By the time we left I was one tired Mama.
The internet was wonky on Sunday morning also. I didn't get the new topic for the writing challenge up until later that evening. We seem to be doing pretty good with that. I need to make sure I don't wait until the last minute to write something. I have been pretty busy with organizing in the house the past week and I didn't sit down and write until Thursday afternoon. On Friday, I ended up scrapping my idea and go in a completely different direction. lol Anyone not in the group willing to let me know if they saw my Stormy Nights post on Friday. We are posting our entries directly to the community, but I want my flist to see them here too. You know how it is, feedback is always welcome, but I won't get any if no one can see them. ;)
Hope you all have a good week!
