Family Vacation, Recap
Our vacation actually started on Friday Aug 1, in the afternoon. We had an overnight babysitter for the kids and Aleece and I went to see a concert at the Zoo. If you have never been to a concert at the Zoo you really should go. It’s a nice small amphitheater so pretty much any seat in the house is a good one. On Saturday Aleece and I went tubing down the Cannon river with some friends, I burned my shoulders a bit and Aleece burned her ankles. It was a great time. Sunday was time to play at grandma and grandpas house but otherwise pretty quiet.
Monday started the busy vacation madness. Here is a picture of the schedule we had planned.
Not much room in there, but man it was a good time. I set a goal for myself to post an update after each day and by the 3rd day I was wondering if it was too much. But I made it through and am glad I did.
After this busy week Aleece and I managed to get a overnight babysitter for the kids this past Sat. We ran some errands, saw a movie, went out for drinks and dinner, and pretty much took it easy. Sunday had a birthday party for one of the kids of Aleece’s friend, but again was a rest day. We did go to the park and a walk but nothing too exciting.
This really was a fun week. I do not think we would have had as much fun if we would have packed the kids up and drove somewhere. I sure hope Aleece is doing ok with the kids today, we don’t have exciting stuff planned like last week and the kids might retaliate.
