So I know that its been a week, and everyone else already has their pictures up from the weekend, but here I am finally posting mine:) Alina and I went with five couples from our small group at church to a mountain getaway in Pigeon Forge, TN. Justin had planned to go, but the dissertation was calling his name. We had 11 adults (Me, Waters, Michauds, Poles, Bells, and Clarks) and 8 children 4-years-old and under in a 3 story, 6 bedroom house. It was really nice! A bit hectic at times, but all in all we had a great time. It was fun to relax and enjoy some good fellowship, especially with Matt and Jess since we don't see them all the time!
Hanging out in the main room, which is what we mostly did.
Every family took their turn to cook a meal for the whole group.
We were able to have a small shower for Jessica, since we may not get to see her before the arrival of her daughter in June. Pauline and I made these adorable cake pops before the weekend. They were a hit!
Three expecting mothers...me, Jessica and Kelley.
Alina loved seeing the mountains!
Eating goldfish with her good friend Patrick, she was so excited that he was going to be at the mountains:)
Mine and Alina's room.
Playing with friends:)
The house. Ryan got us a great deal with his discount from work, we hope to do this again sometime!
Alina wanted to help take care of babies. Here she is with baby Reed. However, when it came time for the diaper change and she saw what was in it, she said "yucky" and walked away. She better get ready for that with her brother on the way!
Kim and Robbie made Chicken and dumplings, it was sooooo good! I am requesting this again for my new baby meal:)
There was even a hot tub on the deck. Only Graem and Mason took an opportunity to enjoy it, it was a bit too cold and rainy for the rest of us, or in the case of the pregnant ladies, it was off limits.
On Saturday night, Robbie and Matt took out the guitars again and this time did a sing along with the kids. It was a lot of fun, the kids really enjoyed the music.
Mason decided to take up mandolin:)
