For the past few weekends, I haven't felt 100% and haven't ventured too far from home. This weekend I decided that it was time to get out of the house and enjoy one of our last few weekends together as a family of three. We packed up the car and headed to my parents' house for the weekend. It was big weekend in my hometown.
This weekend featured the local 1000 Island Poker Run - the largest in North America. The Poker Run race is a major highlight of the summer where many high-powered speedboats race along the waterway. Little Miss L. has fell in love with boating and loves hitting up the water. We spent the day watching the boats speed past as we hit the water for a dip. After our day on the boat, we also checked out another event happening in town - Ribfest!
The event is organized by Big Brothers Big Sisters and features some of the top ribbers from all over North America. We met up with our good friends and their niece who Little Miss L. absolutely adores. The girls loved feeding the animals, the blow-up slide was a hit, and we all loved digging into some scrumptious ribs. All and all, I am glad I got out of the house and enjoyed a beautiful weekend with my family and friends.
