Ah, summer vacation! It couldn't have come any quicker! Gary was able to take Brendan, Cecelia, and Teddy up to his parent's places in Buffalo the very last day of school for 6 days. It was an exciting trip, the plane ride, the wild life (mostly snakes!), mini-golf, fishing, swimming, canoeing, paddle boating, and lots and lots of quality time with the family. Ryan and I stayed back (making for a MUCH less stressful trip) while they played up north. I worked on the house while they worked on their camping skills!
Next year we may ALL make the trip, not sure where we will all sleep, especially since the four of them maxed out the lake house, but it's just too much fun to pass up.
I am fairly certain that everyone was very well entertained and enjoyed being around one another. It happens WAY too rarely, but when you live over 700 miles away, that happens.
I am so thankful that the kids were able to have this time with their grandparents. I am not sure if they have woken up from their naps that were needed after they left, but I am so greatful for the love they showered on my kids while they were there. To be able to wake up to family, run around all day in nature, break bread with family, and do it all over again the next day, well, it's priceless. I have wonderful in-laws! (which is an understatement!)
Hopefully we'll give them enough rest between visits to do it all over again! HA!
