Getting Away

This weekend, JD and I packed up to spend the weekend at Batsonland - Kim and Andrew's house - in Michigan. As usual, we had too much fun. We saw Joey and Eric play football on Saturday morning, followed by Jake's afternoon game. The day was gorgeous and unseasonably warm for an October fall day. We ate lots and relaxed in the sunshine. Sunday, after a dip in the hot tub, the family went skeet shooting, which I tried for the first time. Everyone's patience with me still did not result in a single hit, but the boys were great shots. We ended our visit with a trip to the pumpkin patch. Every time we visit, not only are Kim and Andrew amazing, generous hosts, but we live fun-filled days, only to crash into bed each night. It was the perfect escape from all the work at home; plus we loved seeing some family finally.
