Vacation!

TJ and I are on vacation countdown! We are so excited to get away for a little while. We are headed to Red River, NM with my family. Well part of my family that is. My parents, older brother, and Grandma will all be there. We have a cabin up there and so we will have all the amenities of home just not the stress! It is always nice to go and not really have any worries. The best part of the cabin is that we will get to cook every night and just be able to spend time together and not be in hotel rooms. We are really looking forward to it. I am sure that we will post a ton of pictures on here when we get back. My family is not really into the do nothing vacations. Our trip is already completely packed with activities. First comes fly fishing. I have never done this before so it will be a new experience for me. I know that it is a lot of work. I have seen A River Runs Through It many times. Fly fishing is an art! The boys are going to go and play golf. I like golf but not when it is like 40 degrees! But they will have a blast I am sure. There will also be horse back riding, taking the 4 wheelers out, and hiking! Our cabin is right on the river and I am hoping to spend some time with my camera and working on natural elements photography. Pretty excited about it really. The family time will be great too. We are planning to just hang out in the cabin at night and cook, have light a fire and play board games and drink cocoa. After the kind of year that we have had, this sounds perfect for me! I am sure that we will both put on a ton of weight while we are gone with the combination of my mom and grandma's cooking! We will definitely get spoiled rotten. I have already done a little shopping and got some super cute new clothes. That's part of the fun of vacation right?! The hardest part of the vacation is that Capone doesn't get to go with us. We are having to board him while we are gone. That makes not only him sad but also me and TJ! Capone was a pound puppy and definitely remembers his time there. It is so hard to leave him even though we know that they spoil him rotten while he is there.
On another note, this month starts a marathon in our lives! October through January is always crazy busy for us. We have a total of 14 birthdays in that time span plus holidays. And this year we added vacation! It is such a fun time of year though. We love to stay busy and so the parties, football games, hay rides, pumpkin patches, and everything that this month brings is so much fun. I cannot believe how quickly this year has flown by. Oh well. Totally ready to slow it down some while relaxing on vacation! Vacation! WooHoo!!!!!
