I sure how these photos do this wonderful weekend away justice. Looking back months to blog this is a treasure allowing me to relive it all.
The Wisneskis bought this house just a few weeks ago and we are the FIRST visitors INSIDE the home (Wayne's brother came down for Father's day weekend and slept in the pavilion) so we are the first INDOOR guests.
The drive through WVA is gorgeous. Rolling green hills. The last turn into their neighborhood is a sharp one. They can literally HEAR folks driving in. They run out to greet you. This is us greeting the McCullough's the next day.
Love this gaggle of kids running behind.
The home was filled with 80s/90s nostalgia - from the dishware, VHS players and stacks of VHSs so much of it is truly timeless. The sports equipment, boating/fishing paraphernalia!
It is the ideal hosting home and so welcoming. It landed with the PERFECT family that will carry the tradition. There are plenty of spaces to sleep - these brothers even managed to stay together. See what I mean about the sheets - I adore the old time classis sheets!
Paddle boat came with the house - kids sold separately (but best enjoyed together)
The weekend was filled with good old fashioned together time. Kids filled up their bodies with tattoos.
Our little fisherman ran out there and snagged this guy within minutes.
Love my time with this lady - just relaxing
This is how you defrosting dinner in WVA
On the 4th of July Rick and Amy joined us. Upon arriving they 'switched gears' and headed to the trails for a mountainlike ride that was quite striking and not shy of hills.
Loved out time hanging out in the pavilion. Its a extension of their home located close to the river. There were several sets of rocking seats and the perfect table to serve all.
Here is our special guest. Quarantining straight from Indonesia. So good to see these 2 together and hate that is feels a little temporary for them.
Look at these gracious hosts - enjoying seeing their home in action!
Kids are happily eating together outside. We have TRULY made it!
Dinner outside all together. These favorite people all in one wonderful spot. I cannot thank them enough for hosting us all so seamlessly.
Breakfast anyone?
Lazy time with a light saber
Epic kickball game! Kids can't beat us yet!
Indian Drew off to find more fish for his family.
Hamilton was a HUGE hit this weekend as its on DISNEY + for the month. Farrah did a little history class for the kids and they loved all the songs. The WIFI isn't the strongest so they happily watched it in stages.
The adults, adulting together.
We even managed to schedule some times for naps here and there. The chair vibrates!
Family style dinners.
Towel drying in full effect
love all this space for game time.
love all this time to just connect
We loved it and were thankful for it all. The tubing, floating the river, river boogers, meals, friends, tattoos, Hamilton, and mostly the treasure of being all together. Each morning we took long walk around the neighborhood - changing the world (or our perspectives) one step at a time.
