Spur-of-the-moment weekend
Just how spur-of-the-moment?
Thursday evening: A surprise "Grand Entrance" by C's mom all the way from St. Louis, unbeknownst to any of us, at our nephew's 4th birthday Thursday evening, followed by a short and sweet visit with her.
Saturday: The bachelor party C was giving for a friend which was supposed to be an overnight of camping and fishing quickly turned into the more typical bar-crawl when they realized that, with campfires still being prohibited, they'd just be freezing miserably in the woods.
Saturday, as well: The frosty, below-30-degree morning turned into an 84 degree afternoon, calling for an impromptu dinner at the lake, as in, "Quick! Let's go! Grab your suits and a towel and hop in the car while I boil the corn, slice the watermelon...and we can have mac 'n' cheese for dinner because Papa (lactose intolerant) isn't here! This could be our last chance to swim this year!"
And I suspect it was, as we were swimming with leaves. Just like that and it's Fall.

Sounds like our weather around here. Freezing one moment, broiling the next. Welcome to autumn!

I will mourn as we take the last few swims. But now I know it's hotspring season and that makes me happy.

Yeah. We had our first decent frost the other morning. :) Funny how quickly it shows up. Enjoy the season.

Sounds like a perfectly bittersweet day! I LOVE fall, but I also love swimming outdoors. Suprise family visits are always nice too.
