Sunday:
Since this was our yearly, family get-a-way... we slept in! We then got up and packed everything away into the van. After checking out of the hotel room, we headed over to the Splash Country for several hours of swimming and fun on the water slides. We then left for home. The kids were so tired that they slept in the van.
Monday:
After making it home from school and work, we got dinner ready. Titus and Jordin came over for a visit. It was good to catch up.
After they left, we got the kids ready for bed and I did a quick grocery trip.
Tuesday:
Lydia had a meeting after classes, so I got the kids and came home. They helped me make supper. Macaroni & Cheese with tuna and diced tomatoes. It looked gross, but tasted great! WIth them helping me, the cross factor was cool to them. We ate, watched Sonic on Netflix, then got showers before Lydia got home.
Wednesday:
Tonight was church. I was able to sing one of my favorite songs as a special, "Sin Will Take You Farther". We also had Master Clubs meeting in preparation for next Wednesday.
Thursday:
This evening was almost an exact repeat of Tuesday, except that Lydia stayed at college to get some homework done. I re-heated the leftovers of the mac & cheese...
Once Lydia got home, we put the kids to bed and packed our stuff for our trip this weekend.
Friday:
We woke up and quickly tried to get things ready before heading out. Mysia didn't have school but went to the club. Lydia and I both got off work by noon, packed up the van, grabbed the kids, and headed to Junction City, Kansas. It was a long drive, over five hours, and Isaac (former tropical storm and hurricane) followed us most of the way. I had to keep from using the cruise control, but still found the van hydroplaning a few times. It caused traffic to slow down and we seen about 5-6 accidents on the way there. After several pit stops and potty breaks we finally made it.
We spent the evening visiting with Silas & Kristi and our new nephew Gideon!
Saturday:
We were able to sleep in a bit, but the kids made sure that it wasn't too long. We got up, got ready for the day, and ate a great breakfast. We then headed over to Silas and Kristi's church. They were doing a flyer blitz, and we got to help out. The ladies went to one neighborhood, and we went to another neighborhood. We were able to hand out quite a few flyers before lunch.
Back at their home, the kids and I took naps... or tried to. When one would fall asleep the other would wake the other up! Ugh!
We visited and played Wii games. After the kids got their showers, we put them to bed and played Apples to Apples as we visited some more. Then it was bed!
