our annual trip to st. joe, mo was 2 weekends ago.
it was a typical trip.
we lost things that we brought.
we ate out.
we heard "are we there yet" 13 times.
there was vintage shopping.
and ears being pierced.
oh, wait.
the ears thing was a first.
that's right.
30 years old and i'm just getting my ears pierced.
i blame my sister and how many times her ears
were infected growing up for my lack of wanting
to get my own pierced.
but i bit the bullet.
heidi took me for an early b-day gift.
justin wanted proof on camera of my
ears being pierced.
heidi obliged.
this is for my mom.
though i called her(2 wks later..sorry, mom)
and told her, here's her visual, as well.
my sister saw them for the first time at the maize parade yesterday and was shocked herself. :)
we also had a bonfire, or "campfire" as the kids called it.
for weeks, i had been so excited to go to the navy ball.
i had completely forgotten about the flea market sale that weekend outside of our (heidi & i) favorite shop,
'the rusty chandelier'!
hooray for junk!
[heidi, scoping out the goodies, while i was up on the hill taking a pic. :)]
i really regretted not getting this sign. i wanted it bad.
i may just have to break down and make one.
i did find this bookshelf. it has "potential dollhouse" written all over it.
i've already taken the back off of it and done some sanding to the shelves. there will be a new back to it, as well as some boyish charm added to it for aiden's christmas present.
per justin's order, i wasn't allowed to spend all weekend
out with heidi.
we did our 2 hours of shopping,
the kids went to a story time at the church,
while the boys went shooting.
:)
in the afternoon,
we all took the kids "fishing".
it was a sad excuse for fishing.
no fish were caught.
the fish probably laughed when they saw aiden fishing for the first time. he's not quite ready to go pro. :)
that's st. joe in a nutshell. hopefully we can make one more trip this year!
