Weekend getaway at Uncle Britt's

 We enjoyed THE BEST weekend getaway up at a vacation home up near Lake Texoma.  Our good friend Britt Berrett has a vacation home that he was kind enough to let us use.  It was so peaceful up there and with no internet and awful cell reception we were able to disconnect and spend much needed family time together

We THOUGHT we'd have a weekend between the start of soccer season and the end of basketball season, but no such luck.  Soccer started a week earlier than we thought it did, AND Sam had an end of season basketball tournament that had him have not one but two games on Saturday.  So two soccer games, two basketball games did not mean much lake house time, but we made the most of it.

Fun things to remember about the weekend:

• We watched some personal airplanes take off on a runway near the lake house (Stephen wants to learn how to fly a plane someday)
• We played cover your assets, and Stephen after winning a round actually "Dabbed" and we laughed hysterically!
• We did roast smores, and grilled out one night
• Much to our shagrin we completed a puzzle of the BYU Lavel Edwards Stadium
• We munched on PB M&M's that were from our Valentines care package
• We enjoyed a perfect pot roast in the crockpot on Sunday
• We only went to sacrament meeting in Sherman and then enjoyed a relaxing Sabbath at the house
• We tried to go on the hunt for the "Legend of the Togopogo" but it was a bit longer of a hike than we were expecting, and some of us hadn't gone to the bathroom before we left, and we should have brought some water--there's always next time!

AND we made it home in time to be home taught by the amazing Tim Colman who has been a loyal and faithful hometeacher and friend to our family for years.  He gave a touching message about how we will have help from the other side of the veil in our lives in all aspects if we will engage in family history work.

Then he stayed and counseled with Stephen and I giving me a blessing that I really needed.
