Month In Review
Wowza - it's been such a long time since I posted! I'll do a quick month-in-review with some photos. Maybe then I can stay caught up after this....
Just before the Independence Day Holiday, our church chartered a bus and took a group to the Nashville Zoo in Tennessee. The boys and I went and had a great time, especially playing in the bamboo that lined the sidewalks. They really loved the big chartered bus, complete with a bathroom and 3 TV's! I myself loved not having to drive!
Immediately after our Nashville trip, our family took a trip to the beach for the holiday weekend. It was a combined trip with Wade's parents and his brother and family (Dylan's parents.) Destin was beautiful as always. Wade and I had a nice treat on the second day we were there - the rest of the crew took the kids to the condo for a nap and left us at the beach for hours by ourselves. It was very relaxing, and a nice time to re-connect with each other and enjoy one another's company. It was amazing to be able to talk uninterrupted for so long!
Today, we took the second of the three field trips with the church group. We went to Lake Winnepesaukah, an amusement park in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It was SO VERY HOT at 95 degrees, but we had a blast. Being by myself with the boys, I had no agenda of my own - no stress to ride certain rides or to ride every ride there before we left. We only hit the rides the kids could ride, and usually only those that didn't have a long line. That was a full day in itself! The theme park was very kid friendly and wasn't too large or two busy to make the day stressful, keeping up with the kids by myself. I discovered both Derek and Camden are fearless, and didn't turn down any ride. That included roller coasters, water boat rides, the chair lift, ferris wheel, etc. Our favorite was the Scrambler - but now my ribs are so sore! Below are pictures of Derek driving us in the antique car race, and our paddle boat adventure - wow, what a workout!
I'm looking forward to a quiet weekend. I have no parties scheduled (so far) and have a short to-do list, mostly yard work. We have had minimal rain here lately, and I've been putting off planting new flowers in the front yard, but I might tackle that this weekend. Otherwise, I plan to work on lesson plans and catch up on my blog reading - I've missed it! (Time to scrapbook would be fantastic!)
