Church Picnic...pretty sure it's that week at my folks farm. Growing up we had these every year at the Owens farm in New Jersey...I guess over the years it was held at different places. It is where I get my ideas for parties often. We seemed to do something different each year but it was fun.
This week I'll be doing something I haven't done since I was in Highschool. I'll be packing up my van (as a kid it was a camper.) I won't have a dog, or a cat to make the adventure more of one. I'm thinking the last time I did this it was with my two brothers and my parents oh it's a blur.
The last trip driving across country I remember is with Jelly Bean aka JB. JB was the dog I picked up from Collingswood auction. She was a mutt....no a serious mutt, she had beagle in her and was a bit of an idiot but in the end one awesome dog, filled with memories of my childhood. Wondering if you should get your child a dog....do it.
My adventure across country will be different. I'll be going with my two daughters and my 4 year old son. I'm sad that my husband hasn't made it a priority to do a trip with just our family each year, but he's wrapped up with getting our sons that Eagle award or as many scout trips in as he can. It's memories for my sons but leaves my daughters out. I feel that the girls have become unattached to family and do whatever they want to do.
At least my oldest wants to return for her college years. We shall see. For now she has a job to do for the summer.
