Every year, my family tries to set up a weekend where we can get together and hang out somewhere. Last year, we had a super time in Pittsburgh, so we were really looking forward to this year. My mom and aunt set up a trip for us all to the mountains of West Virginia, which was a central location for all of us. They rented some cabins, arranaged meals, and even researched some activities for us to do.
On the first day there, Ela got to catch up with some of her second cousins. Sammy gave her a "make-over" with some help from Maddy. I was strongly reminded of the times when my cousins would give my sister and I make overs when we were young.
The next day, we all went out to see a bridge. If I wasn't so busy chatting with family, I might be able to tell you all why. I know it's very high off the ground, and I can tell you that next weekend it's Bridge Weekend there, and people will be parasailing and bungee jumping off of it. I was pretty happy to just look at it.
We took a group picture at the bridge, but my camera seems to have gotten passed over in the hubub. Then we split up and half of us went white water rafting (and had a blast from what I hear), while the rest of us took it easy and got a tour of a coal mine and town. Ela loved it.
I'd have a better picture of that, but my camera battery died. The weather was perfect all weekend long, and we spent a lot of time just catching up with family. It was very relaxing, and a lot of fun.
