Memorial Weekend

We had a long camping weekend planned for a few months now.  After we received the devastating news about my Grandma last week, we were going to cancel our weekend.  On Friday, I went to the hospital to visit Grandma after work and they informed us that Grandma could come home for the holiday weekend if family  was available at all times to help if needed. So since her 6 sisters and brothers and 2 kids rallied around her to help out, my mom insisted that we go on our camping weekend. So we headed out Friday evening to Wild West Campground in Amherst.

The campground was a small campground but it was perfect. We thought that the place would be packed due to the holiday weekend but it was not at all. It was a great family friendly place with unique events to keep us all entertained.  Although the weather was a bit chilly, we were just happy that it didn't rain! A few of the fun activities included a playground, hayrides, horses to feed and horseback riding which we didn't partake in  on this camping trip but maybe next time, an all you can eat BBQ rib dinner (delicious!), and lot of of food, family, and fun!

Overall, we had a great weekend. It was nice to get away, although it was tough to know that Grandma will be undergoing brain surgery tomorrow. We are praying all goes well and I'm glad that we got to spend all afternoon with her today!  I will keep everyone updated on her surgery tomorrow!  God Bless , especially to all our veterans on this Memorial Day!
