White Water State Park

 1st RV trip for the year!  We wanted to stay close to the feel for it again.  We went to White Water State Park, which is only about an hour away.  It was a prefect first trip!  The hiking was great, the weather was HOT and the swimming beach was amazing.  We are so ready to begin the summer of RV adventures.

Bday dinner choice - Red barn pizza! 

So yummy! 

I celebrated another birthday. I’m fully “in my 40’s” now. Aagg. This year we actually got to go out for food. Much better then last year. I spent the day at work and then then boys brought me to Red Barn Pizza. Love that place! It’s only open on Wednesdays but worth the trip if you can do it. Cheer to getting older and having some one else cook for me! 

Double digits

 Abel Martin turns 10!  How is he already at the double digit mark?  His picks for the day was bowling, Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner, Angel Food Cake and for the end we went to a movie- in the theater!   I was ready for a friend party yet but adventured all day!  

2 years since we have been in a theater 

there was only 2 other people there- it was great!

Godzilla vs Kong 

BWW's

Giant Balloon in the house?!

So many snacks all day

Love this boy!!

Giant balloon in the yard- it just kept floating away

Until it popped on the neighbors house! 

It was fun while it lasted! 

Happy Happy Birthday my sweet middle boy!!  Abel is 10!  Man, 10 is real number.  He is growing up so fast.  He is finishing up 4th grade.  The year has been rough with COVID and going back and forth distance learning.  Abel makes it so easy though.  He does all his work with not much push from me.  He really is the go with the flow kind guy.  I know he prefers being with his friends but has done great with the yo-yo of this school year.  He loves video games and any thing with tech.  His favorite foods are Mom's spaghetti or tacos :)  When I asked Abel what he wants to be when he grows up he said a NASA rocket engineer.  Alright!  I told him I would wear a NASA t-shirt every day! Love you so much Abel!
