The One Where They Packed It All In

June 28 - 30, 2019

Remember the old (nor so old?) board game, Chutes and Ladders? The ladders take you up and the chutes bring you down? That's exactly what this summer feels like. And I don't really see an end in sight for a while. I keep hearing the term SENIOR SUMMER and I guess this is it. The last summer they have with their classmates. Next summer is unpredictable. Next summer, there is no project 2020 blog. Next summer...

And this weekend was a big one. Friday was a day we have had planned for a long time. To help Emma decide what she is going to do after high school, we scheduled a campus tour and visit at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah - home of the RiverHawks. And, in true Weaver fashion, it was a family affair. Lara had to work in Stillwater at her Nanny job, and luckily she can occasionally take Finn with her. So, Nana, Grandpa, Me, Dad, Jake, and Emma loaded up and drove 2 hours to Green Country in Oklahoma. With all the rain and intense sun we have had this past few months, everything was so green and so lush! The drive was long is you ask Emma, but the results were well worth it. We got to see a presentation of all the things NSU has to offer, go on a campus tour and of course, the tour ended at the bookstore so souvenirs were purchased. We had a fun lunch downtown, stopped in to see some relatives (and some real estate that's for sale), and headed back to Stillwater full of hope and plans for the future.

Lunch at Sam and Ella's

The moment we all arrived back at "home base" in Stillwater (our house), Nana and Grandpa were exhausted so they were off to Perkins, and Emma and Lara loaded up and headed to Orlando - because they were off for another adventure early the next morning! The girls spent Saturday through Monday with the Horinek family winding their way through Texas. The main attraction was the Schlitterbahn Water Park in San Marcos, but they stopped in Waco, Dallas, Buc-cee's and other places along the way. Here are a few pictures they shared with me as well.
