Last weekend was Labor Day weekend so John had 4 days off work. I surprised him by making reservations at a resort on Grand Lake. I made arrangements for his sisters to come and stay with Jessica (Jason and Jana were with their Dad). John thought we were going to my Aunt Janice's house in Arkansas up until the minute we were leaving. We started to go to the car and he told Jessica to come on. She said she wasn't going. He was totally confused.
We got there late on Friday night. The resort was beautiful.
On Saturday we went to a few antique shops which we never do with the kids. I found some bowls to add to my collection. We also went to Har-Ber Village and it was so neat. It is a museum type village with 115 little buildings. Each building is like a log cabin and displays things from long ago. I think my favorite was the Doctors house. It had some really pretty furniture and quilts. We want to go back when it isn't so hot. Saturday night we went out for a nice dinner and came back and watched a movie.
On Sunday we had a mini family reunion. John's sisters came with Jessica so we weren't without children the entire weekend. We had two three bedroom units that night and had a full house in both. My brother fried some fish and I made grilled burgers.
We came home on Monday since I had to work on Tuesday. It was a great weekend. It was so awesome to be able to surprise John. He does so much for me that I wanted to do something for him this time.
Of course we forgot to take a camera so we have no pictures. I will post pics of my new bowls later.
