Laughter is the best medicine!

Last weekend was a blast!! My sisters and my mom were able to get away for the weekend and travel to Kalispell. (We really missed our sister-in-law who wasn't able to make it!)

We left just after lunch time on Friday and were home late Saturday night. I drove "Big Red" and took out the far back seat to make room for all our purchases. The roads were horrendous, but nothing was stopping us! It was just what I needed and it was great to deepen the bonds of sisterhood and friendship with each other - and there was definitely A LOT of laughter all weekend long!!

We had to laugh at the "Do Not Disturb" sign at the hotel and it's French version of that saying, "No Moleste". I don't know how funny that actually is, but when you put 6 giddy women in one room, a lot of things are really funny!!

We went out for dinner at HuHot's just after we checked in, and it was awesome!! I had never been there before, and we were lucky we were in somewhat of a secluded corner, because we had a BLAST!! Just being without our children, not having to cook or clean-up was enough to make us all a little happy!!

We headed back to the hotel and went swimming for a bit, and then just chilled for a bit and had one of the best bonding talks we have had in a long time. We were able to share our feelings for each other and about our lives --- I feel so blessed to have such compassionate, strong and supportive women for my sisters and mother.

The next morning we had breakfast at the hotel and then we hit the town. We all had a great time finding some great deals on clothing, food, shoes, kitchen items, and toys for our families. We enjoyed these awesome ice cream treats at Costco just before we were heading out.

I have to admit that this was one of my most favorite purchases from the trip. Who would have thought that a little box like this:

.....could turn into something as fun as this!!

My kids have had a blast with this jumbo fun ball, and I have to admit that I even tried it out myself!!

All in all, it was just what the doctor ordered because as always...... laughter is the BEST medicine EVER!!!
