Quick Vacation in PA and WV

It was such a great relaxing vacation. Who would guess with ten of us traveling from PA to WV together in two vehicles that I would say it was relaxing. Why does going pee mean it is time to eat again and lose at least one child?

I think M and I both had some tears when we got to PA and we hugged more than we ever have. We both were strong and held back major tears. I was afraid if I let loose it would not stop. It has only been a month and we do talk but it is definitely different now. I think we will always be like family and will always be connected for life.

It was a memorable moment when we went swimming at a river in WV. I was almost in tears (again) thinking how we were making memories. Everyone was talking and laughing all at the same time. It was so nice going swimming (one in underwear) and dragging my son in the water to wash up. It was great that his screams were not heard by ANYONE because there wasn't ANYONE within miles. There are probably more deer than people in WV. I was still a wimp and wouldn't jump in from the rock. It was great swimming.

We slept in a hay cabin that was so warm we left the unscreened windows and doors wide open. I was just amazed we didn't have a bug invasion. We did have a bat issue we did not tell my son or we knew we would never get him to sleep in there. He was already afraid of snakes that one of the other kids said were in the cabin. I didn't hear the dog walk in some time during the night - I guess I was sound asleep. At least it was only a dog and not a bear (not kidding!).

We all survived and I got to see a new side of my great friend M. I guess I knew she could sing but I enjoyed listening to her with her sister, Mom, and daughter. They are great. M's Mom is a great inspiration to her family.

We had a great time, great food, great visit, great time overall. I enjoyed meeting someone else that reads my blog. I figured no one would be this crazy. It was a great time and I would love to do it again some time.

So Mud Mountain didn't seem to be muddy at all. Will I have to come back in the spring to check out the mud. I even brought my white t-shirt for mud wrestling for K & B's enjoyment. Maybe next time.
