Sandra, my mother-in-law, just told me a hilarious story this evening.
The melted siding was making a noise banging up against the side of the house at my in-laws place one night. She happened to be up and an unusually large noise scared her. As she was telling Doreen the story, she said, "It scared me so much, I almost jumped out of my skin."
Joelle was sitting there listening, and turned to Sandra and said, "How do you do that?"
He, he, he! Precious!!!
So this weekend was very, VERY good!
Sabbath found us at the Ooltewah church, then lunch at our place with some friends. Then we drove out to Foster Falls, with our friends, to place a cache. Here. It was a blast and we found a GREAT place to put it. We took some time and played in the very cold water at the base of the falls, then headed home. On the way back home, we hit a couple of caches. One was in a restarea disguised as a 'fake' bird house. Very, VERY unique.
The girls were bushed - and barely made it home, awake. They had a little snack - then we put them to bed and they crashed.
Sunday had us sleeping in - ah yes. Then we had a relaxing meal, tinkered around the house - then headed for a Geocaching club meeting. Our first. At the beginning it was little uncomfortable - meeting ALL the new people - the we just fit right in and were on of the crowd. We had pizza, home-made ice-cream and lots of good conversation. The girls had a blast with all the dogs around for Joelle to enjoy. (Natalie even enjoyed some of them!!) They got to play on the jungle-gym and train.
We bought a Geocoin. It's trackable on geocaching.com and so we'll hang onto it and trade it out etc. They also gave us a GEOSET hatpin. Geocachers of South East Tennessee. It's a GeoCaching club. Cool.
The neatest thing about the event was Joelle won her first Door Prize of her little life. She got us another TN geocoin. You should have seen her grinning from ear to ear as she walked up to get her prize. Boy, was I proud daddy - seeing my little girl. She's growing up. :(
During the event a small group of us went and found another couple of caches - then we headed home after stopping at a 'Case' sale at the Village Market - the campus Grocery story that had veggie meat on sale - for a great price.
Then home for an afternoon of football, YEAH the Broncos kicked butt today, relaxing and visiting with my in-laws. It was good. Very, VERY GOOD!
Wrapping this evening up with blogging, watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Sabrina.
Ahhhh - what a weekend!
So back to work tomorrow - for another, 7 days.
Have a GREAT week!
