The Countdown has Officially Begun!

The kids and I are officially counting down to our trip to visit Grandpa Buick, Cheryl, Uncle Jay, Aunt Aminta, Cousin Dylan, Uncle Tom, Aunt Mika, Cousin Joshua and Cousin Matthew. We can hardly wait. Just 5 days...

This week has been a horrible start to our summer vacation in regard to the weather. It was dreary, raining, and only 47 degrees on Wednesday. Ema wanted a webkins, so we headed to The Castle Rock Shops because she was convinced she saw them at a candy store there. She was right! And are we ever glad she was. It was sunny and a balmy 65 degrees. Unfortunately she hadn't saved quite enough of her allowance, so she had to settle with a couple of new outfits and a new pair of tennies that mom bought!

Yesterday the weather was much better, but oh so windy. We did venture to the pool for a couple of hours and what a mistake. I got a little too much sun and spent the rest of the evening slathering on the aloe vera and popping advil to try and relieve the pain. Better now than in Florida I kept saying. Although, I will remember to slather the 100 spf on before heading out again. Do they even make 100 spf?!!

Today, we are planning a low key day cleaning and starting to think about how little we should really take for our month away. Our motto is..."We'll just buy it when we get there!" Seems a little frivilous, but I really don't want to lug a ton of suitcases through the airport. Two kids will be just fine thank you very much!
