Guess what? I actually have quite a few pictures to share from the weekend (although let's be serious--I stole most of them from my friends off Facebook)! So rather than bore you with my mindless babble, I'm just going to let the pictures do the talking.
 |
| Loaded up the car Friday afternoon to head up to the Cities for a reunion with a bunch of my high school friends. This was the trunk before the cooler and pillows got added. Van shopping is definitely going to begin soon! |
 |
| These boys were troopers in the car. Thank goodness for libraries and bags of "new" books to help keep them entertained! |
 |
| What do you do when you are staying with parents of a friend who don't have any grandkids yet? Bring your own (borrowed) train set to help keep you kids entertained! |
 |
| Our whole group of girls (including the one absent member Facetiming with us on my cell phone). We've been friends since at least high school, in some cases as early as elementary school |
 |
| All of the spouses and kids that are now part of our group! |
 |
| Saturday night the menfolk were nice enough to give the ladies a night out, which included a delicious dinner, tasty gelato, and a nice stroll in downtown Minneapolis |
 |
| Sunday it was time for a barbeque. The middle picture is five of the six kids that were born in 2015, with birthdays ranging from February to December. |
 |
| The unexpected "fun" of the weekend was leaving Minneapolis at 9:00 Sunday night so we could drive back to Sioux Falls in time for Darrell's parade Monday morning. Let's just say it was a miscommunication that was 100% Darrell's fault, but thanks to plenty of caffeine it all worked out fine |
 |
| Silver lining of our little miscommunication was that we got to spend more time at the lake than we had initially planned on. The boys were definitely happy about that. |
 |
| Someone even got to drive the boat! |
I still get exhausted just thinking about the weekend, but it was so, so, so wonderful. I'm tempted to say that I wish every weekend could be like the one we just had, but I don't think my body could handle that much excitement and busyness (and the amount of caffeine necessary to keep up with everything!) that frequently. They sure are nice once in a while though!
