Today was the grand finale to MiMi Camp!!
While I slept in Granddad was in the kitchen making breakfast!
Homemade biscuits along with bacon and eggs!
I printed off driving directions and fixed sandwiches for our lunch while the kids packed their bags and loaded them in the trunk.
We were off for Burger's Lake!!!
Sam was a good navigator and we arrived without one wrong turn!
This is a beautiful natural spring fed lake!
It is super 'Family Friendly' with NO alcohol allowed!
There is plenty of shade and sandy beach areas.
Something for everyone!!!
I am one COOL MiMi!!! That spring water is ICY COLD!!!!
Sam snapped this photo at just the right moment!
We stayed a little over 5 hours and enjoyed every minute of it!!
From there we drove to my brother's house in Benbrook!
They had graciously invited me to pick peaches.
Sam, once again, helped navigate me there!
I had put in their OLD address and when we drove up to THAT house I knew something was wrong!
Praise God they had moved within the same neighborhood and I found it by memory!
The peaches are delicious!!!!
Uncle Lonnie and Aunt Michele gave us glasses of iced tea and juice boxes which were perfect for a hot July afternoon!
Our last stop was to pop in on my Mother. The kids call her 'Aunt GiGi!'
They don't see very much of their dad's side of the family and stay a bit confused about who is who.
Faith wanted to know if Lonnie was a man or woman and if I had any sisters!
Louis Dean was glad to see me drive up the driveway this evening!
I think my supper will be a bowl of fresh sliced peaches just hours off the tree along with some cottage cheese and a good glass of wine. This will be followed by a shower and then I will climb into my comfy bed and SLEEP!
MiMi Camp 2014 is now officially over!

Linda, If I could have picked a grammy for myself...I sure would want one like you. You are a wonderful grandmother, fun and kind. I think the children had a blast, they seemed to have a smile on those sweet faces the whole time. Hope you get rested. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
Peaches Cream and Sugars or ice cream and peaches sounds good to me.
