One Last Summer Getaway

This past week we drove south for a few days and enjoyed one last family getaway before school starts. It was nice to see family, nice to have a change of pace and scenery, and nice to do some fun things to end the summer.

The first evening of our little trip, we met my parents and sister, Toni for dinner (thanks for driving out of your way to spend time with us!). Then we went to Grease at Tuacahn.

The next day we visited my grandma and aunt, went to a family fun park, we ate frozen custard, Caitlin and I went to a movie, the kids went swimming, Clint worked from the hotel room (not planned, but necessary due to some unforeseen craziness), and Caitlin and I went to Little Mermaid, again at Tuacahn. While we thought Grease was good, Little Mermaid was excellent. Very, very cute show.

I think for the most part we’re ready for school to start, although I’m a little sick about sending Caitlin to junior high. We’ve played, shopped for school supplies and clothing (except for Caleb who insists he doesn’t need anything new…sigh!), we’ve cleaned and organized the bedrooms and closets, and now we’re just kind of waiting for something to happen… one more week.
