The Neverending Weekend...

My very hectic, very long weekend is finally done. We made it to all of our destinations on time & without breaking and low flying aircraft speed laws. My daughter enjoyed her two days of hunting season with Daddy, as did my son - he was successful & got a deer. (pics to come). My daughter had a great time at her Girl Scout outing, too. (pics to come, too). Now Daddy & I get to package venison burger and assist in assembling a science project for tomorrow since the kids are BEAT! :) Too much fresh air?

Eric's deer.
 Lizzie was not feeling well Friday evening; so Daddy let her sleep in Saturday morning and figured she could join him late morning or at lunch time.  Well, of course that's when he gets his deer!  This is what Lizzie woke up to...


On Sunday, I had to leave camp to accompany my daughter & her GS Troop on an outing since I am one of their leaders.  It was a rainy, foggy sort of day so the activity was welcomed with the lousy weather.

Our wonderful Troop
The girls toured the Fox Fire House.  They all seemed to enjoy different parts of the historic buildings and activities that were scheduled for them.  We have such a great group of girls, they all get along really well.


Back to the cabin to finish the weekend of what was planned for the kids to be able to hunt with Daddy.  Monday brought super warm weather for our area this time of year, along with major fog.

it was 62 degrees at 5:30 pm - unusually warm for this time of year.

George with his take for the day.
 
George got his deer Monday evening right ahead of dusk.  Which always makes for a LONG evening.  When I arrived at the butcher shop to deliver my son's deer; hubby's was already processed and ready for me to pick-up.  Now that's service! 

My daughter & I then headed home for her to put the final touches on her science project.  Keep in mind it is already 9:00 pm...

It was a long evening, but all was accomplished without too many meltdowns.  I am anticipating hearing about her presentation at the end of the school day. I'll be on pins & needles all day.   

Well, it's now 2:00 am...Science project is finished, but the burger is still in the fridge. It'll need to keep until later this morning (Tuesday) - I need to catch a few hours rest before driving DD and her science project to school. Will post a photo if I remember to get one before it goes to school.

We all have those kind of days/weekends.  I'm glad that I don't have too many of them.  I would love to know how you juggle all of the daily stuff with the holiday stuff.
