One of the highlights of Gradma's house is the myriad of pets she has collected from various children moving out and the pets remaining. Sky is a very old golden retriever, Cocoa is an affectionate calico cat, and this is Larry the bearded dragon. The girls love to watch him eat crickets. Ali follows the animals around all day exclaiming that she is "so happy to see you!"
There is a great water park in this little town. This is me boogie boarding at the surf area. We always have fun going here in the summer.
Zachary loves dinos, and the girls like to play with him. They've been stomping around growling a lot this week. They have really enjoyed having so many cousins around to play with.
Moses Lake really is a great recreational lake. Too bad we don't have a boat or jet skiis. Mom has a canoe, that's close right? We spent one day at the beach playing in the sand (which is black) and floating around. That's just Lydia's kind of day.
Ali doesn't get in the water much, she prefers to play in the sand. That's fine by me, she's easier to watch that way.
We had a great week. I love being close to my family and miss them terribly. I wish we could live closer to them. So far it isn't in the cards for us though. We miss dad and we're all getting really excited to see him again. We head back to Utah on Thurs, but also have a reunion in Heber over the weekend. Then we're all vacationed out. I'm exhausted.
What do you do to unwind from a vacation?
Oh man Angie, Breaking Dawn is so good. I already read it all. I couldn't put it down. Great to see your having fun. Love Audra
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for you to get back! I wanna talk about Reneesme!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun vacation! I so know what you mean, though - every time we come back home it feels like we need a couple of days off. And I must agree with the 2 above comments, the book is sooo good! I'm loving it.
ReplyDeleteLets see, to unwind from a trip? I usually try to get back to my routine at home. Get caught up on things so I'm not stressed about them, then I simply relax. Put the kids to bed, watch the news and just veg out with Cody. Doing nothing is the best thing!
