Wow… words can’t describe how awesome this weekend was. I didn’t realize how much I missed being together as a family (Candice, me, and the kids). I mean, I feel lonely pretty often without them with me, but I had so much fun I didn’t want the time to pass. We met up in Ames on Friday night because Cameron (Candice’s youngest brother) was in town to see Marcus. We got a chance to chit-chat and enjoy Cameron’s company before we headed back up to Fort Dodge. That night was pretty tame; we put the kids to bed and called it a night. The next day was absolutely gorgeous. The sun was shining and there was a nice breeze. We got the kids dressed early that morning and spent as much time outside as humanly possible. I got a chance to clean up my car and the boys played outside all afternoon. Around 5 PM, John brought over his two nephews and his niece to play. The kids were a lot of fun to have around. I got a feeling of what it’d be like to have a large family. Candice did too, and mentioned that we should consider having 5 kids… yeah right! We grilled out, had a few beverages, and let the kids play until it got late. John had to drag the kids out… they wanted to stay the night. Sunday was pretty lazy. Candice helped me with the laundry and we vegged for most of the morning. In the afternoon they packed up and headed out. It was painful to see them go, but hopefully we won’t be doing the long distance thing for much longer.
