Hello all,
My Mother (Barbara) and I decided to take a week long trip with the kids. (Brent had to work)
You would think that a trip with an 11 year old and 2 Toddlers would be some what of a challange.....So did I. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. My children (all 3) were like being in the car with someone else's children. I mean no whining, complaining, crying, screaming or hitting. They were really Great Kids. Mom was good too! hehe
We made up our minds before we left that we were going to have a relaxing vacation. We stopped in Richmond, KY which is about 5 1/2 hours from here and spent the night.
Got up in the morning and had a free hot breakfast buffet, complete with homemade waffles.
We stopped whenever we wanted to, to walk , run, check out anything we wanted to check out. Like the As Seen on TV store, Weird. Did not
see anything I wanted though. Brittany got a magic appearing book, you know when you were a
kid your grandma got you a book that you would scribble and magically stuff would appear.
We also stopped for Rest Stop Expresso, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it unless you are me and have a really bad Coffee habit. (It will keep you up for at least 10 days) I haven't slept since...Just kidding. We got to my sisters and my nephew Garret had wrapped the house in Caution tape it was hilarious. See Pic...
The little ones were just happy to get out of the car and Lillian said Hi Tylo (Tyler) See pic of Cute blond 13 yr old.
Wyatt and Lillian promptly took off up and down my sisters stairs while we all had a little time to say Hi How oh crap Grab Him... Get down here......Stop That...So how have you been....missed y stop that.....no....No ...NO.....Put the dog food down
It was great.
Brittany and Garret had a wonderful time fighting and arguing...It was just like old times.
We went to this REALLY COOL indoor water park (pics later mom's camera) Brittany is such a Water Kid she was all over the place and Mom went down the water slides like she had been doing it everyday. Wyatt decided after a little coxing that he loved the little kids slide (about as tall as my chest and water 1 inch deep)
He would go to the top of the slide and dance for a minute, then he would tighten up the top of his body like a body builder, then slide down. It was sooo funny, he has never done that before. Lillian was going down the slide on her belly, backwards, forwards, sideways, walking up backwards...she loved it intensely. They all had such a good time.
Know what the best thing was.......NO SAND!!!!!! Just water and Fun.
We also got alot of good visiting in with my Grandma Reed and Grandpa, My Cousin Kelly & Her daughter Kayla, Aunt Patti, Uncle Joe and My GREAT Aunt Debi ( I Love Her So Much) and him too he he.
I really enjoyed my visit with Kelly, she and I don't get much time with one another and I was really happy to be there.
Our trip back consisted of driving 6 hours to Richmond, Ky to stay in the same hotel and wake up to a Hot Breakfast Buffet complete with homemade waffles. No complaining, whining, crying, or hitting. Just relaxing and enjoying our vacation. Our drive from Richmond to Acworth was great fun as well we stopped at this place called the Dog Patch Trading Post and saw the World's Biggest Grannie Panties. Don't ask. The little ones sgot Cowboys hats courtesy of Grandma..so cute. Brittany got a t-shirt that says "Horse Person" really cute. I got nothing but a sore bum from driving..Just kidding it was a sore back. Lillian and Wyatt rode a mechanical horse for a quarter and
Oh on the way from Richmond to Massillion we rode a double carousel (2 story) It was really Cool.
Ok so we are back and my back still hurts.....Whats up with that. Well good thing I have a Brenton to rub it for me.
See ya'll later.
Love, Hugs and Prayers
