staying at the Hilton

So the boys had their annual Father's and Sons camp out this weekend. Every year I send them off with all their fun camping outdoor stuff and Anna & I stay at home and do girly things (like painting nails and stuff). Well, this year we were lucky to have an even funner (is that a word) girls night. My friend Laura invited us up to her family's cabin (they're the Hiltons). It was so much fun! I didn't realize how much I needed a vacation, but I did! It was great to just get away from all the moving stuff - boxes, tape, endless phone calls from realtors and mortgage guys. It was like all that stuff was put on hold, for about 20 hours. We had a blast. We made strawberry rhubarb pie, yummy chicken pasta dinner, buttermilk pancakes w/buttermilk syrup (in the morning), and of course ate treats while playing games and just talking. I love late night talks with friends, it's like free therapy!

Here's Laura with her baby Logan, that kid is so dang cute!

This was this morning, tired after a long night. (ok, they're pretending)

Thanks Hiltons!
