We spent our much needed weekend off camping with my parents! It was a bittersweet time…sweet because camping is one of my favorite things to do and some of my best childhood memories…bitter because it was most likely our last time camping in our camper! Our old and faithful family camper was purchased a couple months before I was born, so you can imagine with 24+ years of memories made in that camper, I am sad to see it go! But the truth is, it’s time has come and although it is (surprisingly) still in great shape on the inside, the outside is…well, not so great. While they plan to sell (or perhaps even just give away) this dear camper of ours, they plan on purchasing another smaller one so that our kids can have the same cherished memories someday!

We spent our time eating (lots of eating), sitting around the campfire, and playing shuffleboard…a perfect way to spend our weekend off and say goodbye to our camper! Enjoy the handful of pictures we took this weekend!

Playing some backgammon and looking up the rules!

Our cousin and her husband visited with their adorable new pup, Moe (she…yes, she, is half Australian cattle and half Australian shepherd)! Elly wasn’t sure how to handle her…

Sitting around the campfire Saturday night!

Breakfast the next morning!

Then off to the shuffleboard courts we went (For the record, Mike and I beat my parents 2 games to 1)

And a couple family pictures to end the weekend!

Happy Labor Day and LET’S GO PITT!

P.S. Our September highlights are coming to the blog tomorrow!
