 I've been very busy the last few days with preparing for Leia's 15th birthday party. We are hosting a really big bbq at our place for a lot of family and the teen's friends tomorrow. My baby girl is turning 15 years old! It is sure interesting being the parent of a teen daughter. I can feel the grey hairs starting already. It already feels like teen world happening today. Lots of drama already happening and the party hasn't even started. We have not had much privacy and not many breaks.
I really wanted to get out in the sunshine yesterday and enjoy some of the summer weather. It felt like a perfect day with the sun shining and blue skies and fluffy white clouds. I was stuck inside for most of the day though with birthday stuff. We managed to get our chores done so we could take the kids out for dinner. We sat out in the patio section of the restaurant and enjoyed our dinner together.
Then we took the kids out to Campbell Valley Park. It's a beautiful park with lots of trails and wildlife. I love it there. It's so peaceful and calm. We went hiking on one of the trails and Master gave me the camera to take pictures. I am putting up 3 pictures which I took during our hike. It's rare for me to get the opportunity to take pictures. I really enjoyed it. The park is so beautiful! I hope you enjoy the pictures. I'm proud of them. I think they turned out great! I'm just learning how to use the camera and really enjoy taking pictures. It was really fun! Click on the pictures to enlarge them and get a better look.
We were able to get the kids away from their electronics and spend some family time together. The teen moaned and groaned a bit but eventually told us she had enjoyed the outing so she could have some space from all of her friends. My daughter has a huge social network. There are constant teens which come and go from our place. It can be draining at times. She had a sleepover last night here. Tonight is another sleepover here.
And tomorrow is a multi-sleepover with THREE teen girls staying over with us. She wanted more but we had to draw the line somewhere. Our place is kind of small for having so many people staying with us. I'm seriously not sure how I'm going to survive this. lol. I bet some of the readers can probably relate to me if you have teens in your house. Is it just me or do they eat you out of house and home too? I'm constantly cooking and feeding kids. :)
The lack of privacy has meant that there hasn't been much time for fun and play. I wish I could get a spanking but that's not possible for a few days. There is hope in sight though!! Our daughter is going to her Dad's families place for a week!! And Skywalker might be going away on a short trip too at the same time! That means....time for play time on the darkside! I'm looking forward to when I can get into something sexy and play with some more rope or toys. I could really use a spanking right now!
I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!
May the force be with you all!!

Oh the joys of having teens. Makes young Skywalker seem like a walk in the park.
O M G do I know what you're talking about with the Teen Drama around here, with the sleepovers (where they don't sleep) the party that last for days, the drama, oh the humanity LOL.
It's going to be great, and even better when it's just a memory. It was ROFL when the Teen was out there hiking away from all her electronics. It's something that was good for her despite the moans and groans. We can do this, and we will one day get some time on the Darkside (Thank GOD).

I have to say I don't look forward to the teen years. Hope your weekend and the party went well.

Hi turiya,
Good to hear from you. Thanks for your comment. The party went well despite a bit of drama which happened. The teen got lots of really nice gifts. The cake was delicious and didn't last long. It was a nice party. I hope you are well. *hugs*
