"Vacation"

This is the first time our girls actually knew what the word "vacation" was, and used it in sentences. It was so sweet that they knew this was a special trip, one where we just wanted to be together as a family and have fun together. Two different times Avery said she was so happy that daddy got to be with us and spend time with us on "vacation".
We went to the Lake of the Ozarks, only a few hours away, for just two nights - but it was perfect and all we needed before we were ready to come home to our wonderful house....where the kids take naps and sleep in past 6am:)
Here are a few things we did: watched movies, ate ice cream, swam, got fake tatoos, made bracelets, ate out, drank chocolate milk and ate donuts!!, all 6 of us slept in one room, bought the kids new shoes! (the girls have been wanting these sparkly sketchers for a LONG time, and Canon got the same as Champ but we didn't get a pic of that), rode a water slide and swam LOTS more, ate more ice cream, got flowers and basket balls painted on their arms, and drank more chocolate milk and ate more donuts....
Today for lunch it was ALL VEGGIES and plain yogurt:)
I love my little family, and though a "vacation" isn't at all relaxing, it is ALL this mamma could wish for: just being together!!!
