I am Minnie

  Friday, EL decided she wanted to be called Minnie. She was no longer EL. And should would correct you if you called her the wrong name. So now we have a Minnie. But for the sake of simplicity she will stay EL on the blog. But feel free to call her Minnie when you see her if you want a response.
  We managed to get away for dinner with my parents Friday night to Jonah's. Then hit a couple bars downtown. Ran into some old friends while we were out.

  DB and Papa went fishing for the afternoon. The rest of the crew went to softball games on Saturday before the Samps invited us out to see their new property and the start of their new house. Each kid got a go on the 4 wheeler. EL was the only the one brave enough to take a ride on the horses. MA is regretting not going for a ride now. DB could have stayed all night on the 4 wheelers. Papa was smoking steaks for dinner so we couldn't stay too long. Nicole and fam joined us for dinner. Then we sent Kara out for a DQ run. Hot summer night & cold ice cream- yes please.

  Sunday was our last full day. Time flew by in the blink of an eye. Auntie Kat played some softball to start the day. Afterwards Matt and I did some last minute shopping and grabbed lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings. I was extremely thankful for my parents who willingly got in a car with a screaming EL and told me to go away. We had Ohma and Ohpa over for dinner. Papa cooked ribs on the grill- Matt's request. They were delicious. One last DQ trip in the ice cream truck. Sparklers with the Hargis crew completed our day.

  Monday it was time to pack our bags and say our 'Til Next Times. It was an amazing trip and hard to leave. All of us were going to have a hard time leaving. Luckily we had some great friends waiting for us back in AUS. 7 suitcases (none of which were even close to the weight limit), 5 backpacks, 1 carry on suitcase, & we were ready for the airport.
