This past weekend we had a Girls Weekend at our family property on the Cowlitz River. It was a ton of fun with great company and lots of laughs. My mother in law and I went down a day early to make sure everything was ready. Going down without men was definitely an experience... we had to pretend we knew what we were doing and get everything hooked up, propane, water, fire, etc. It took us awhile but we were able to do it all by ourselves!
Friday we worked our butts off. Emptied the truck of a load of wood, stacked it and even chopped some. Lets just say, I'm glad my husband wasn't there to see my pathetic attempts at splitting wood! But, in the end, I had a nice stack to keep us going through the weekend. Also a very sore back and shoulders which made me long for my jacuzzi tub back at home. We also cleaned debris off the lot with the blower and burned branches.... after we got a fire started in the extremely soggy fire pit.
After the girls showed up friday night the fun began! We had some drinks....
Played some board games...
Sat around the fire and told stories of when our husbands have been drunk...
Saturday was even more fun! I think my abs got a workout just from laughter. We headed up to the lodge and played foosball, ping pong and air hockey. All with bloody mary's in our hands. Valerie was the queen of the foosball table, while I kicked butt at the air hockey table. Because it's off season, there was really no one else around and we were able to be as goofy as we wanted.
Overall it was an excellent weekend and I'm very glad we went down. It was a much needed weekend of fun and relaxation. I definitely think it will become an annual trip, at the very least! We might have to do it more often.

Where was my invitation???
LOL.... next time! Besides, you would've turned me down! You are always doing horse stuff on the weekends. There were no horses down here. Deer maybe, but no horses.
