Girls weekend
Debi did such a good job on her blog that I copied her post for Girls Weekend!
The "mommy friends" that I met almost 4 years ago through Stroller Strides have become more than "mommy friends". They are some of my closest friends, and we always have a great time together. We got together for a weekend getaway to relax and shop. Elizabeth's mother in law allowed us to use her newly-purchased vacation house on Lake Callender, and it provided the perfect setting for relaxation and perfect distance to Canton.
the tracker jacker that gave us a heart attack.
Lisa was so generous. A while back she received a delivery from Arbonne (the make-up/skin care company) for her home's previous owner. She tried diligently to get it returned. She called Arbonnes and the previous homeowner. After a few months, no one picked it up, so she decided to bring the boxes with her so we could all share in the goodies. We were pretty excited for her to open it. We had visions of a night filled with facials, make-overs, etc.....
We were pretty freakin' disappointed when the boxes were filled with PROTEIN SHAKES (made from peas!). It was quite hysterical.
So we had another drink....
a group picture with this crew is almost a tough as getting one of my crew at home...
The next morning was CANTON! It was toasty, but we found some great deals. We spent quite a bit of time in the "vintage" section finding good junk.
I had an amazing nap when we got home. Marissa was busy getting dinner ready. Cooking is one of her MANY talents.
It was very relaxing there. I want to go back. (hint, hint Percival Fam) :)
The community had a floatella in our honor. (or maybe it was the upcoming 4th of July holiday)
I did catch myself saying (as the decorated boats passed by) "the boys would love this".
Elizabeth and Marissa provided the entertainment.
the pyromaniacs got into elizabeth's hubby's stash of fireworks. These girls can do it all!
we spectated...
there was a little competition going on with the people on various sides of the lake. our side definitely won. I bet they didn't know it was just a bunch of housewives that were kicking their butts:)
It was a wonderful, relaxing weekend!>
