Wilstem Weekend

Aunt Molly and Uncle Dave arranged for a big Haley family weekend near French Lick this weekend. They rented the big guest ranch and another separate cabin for all of us to come down and hang out from Friday to Sunday. It was so much fun. To be more specific - it was so much fun EXCEPT when we tried to sleep. The girls just don't sleep well when we're away from home. It wouldn't have been bad except the bed was very small and the mattress was hard! Other than that, though, we had a great time. There were a ton of us that were able to make it, which made it really nice. We got to catch up with everyone and Lily got to play with all of her second cousins. A lot of people spent Friday night at the casino, but we bowed out of that. Anyone who stayed behind just sat around chatting. Some people stayed up way too late and had a little too much fun so they slept really really late on Saturday. Not us - we were up bright and early b/c of our little alarm clocks! Saturday we went to the French Lick winery for a tasting and lunch, then hung out with everyone during the day, had dinner, then sat around the camp fire for a long time. Kathleen gave me a shoulder massage which was FABULOUS, and I'm now going to be her best customer. She said she does a lot of work where she goes to people's houses, so you don't even have to go to the Villagio for a massage! Dad declared Morgan to have made the quote of the weekend. When dad asked Morgan what he'd been up to lately, Morgan's response was "Uncle Joe, I work in the fish department of my parents pet store, what else is there to say" :) I think dad told that story at least 10 times!
