Family Fun Weekend

We broke up the typical weekend with extended family fun – and got to experience some activities we haven’t done in forever, including Disney on Ice and bowling!

Freedom!

It happens but once or twice a year, but as a treat for “both sides,” it was a weekend of freedom from each other! Just a half hour apart, but a world away, when the kids and parents are separated. The adults headed to Berkeley Springs for some good food and catching up on sleep,…

While the cats were away, the little mice played (with Nanie and Pop Pop)! A highlight was Summers Farm in Frederick and time in front of the fire!
