Mini Vacation at Nana & Papa's

Scott and I had asked Nana and Papa if they would like to have the kids for a few days to either give us a break or get some things finished around the house.  After finally picking a weekend we decide we will get as much done prior so that the weekend is more relaxing vs killing ourselves to get stuff done.  As the weekend approaches we realize that our plan isn't going to go as we hoped.  Not only did we not get all the projects finished Scott finds out that they will be releasing their earnings a week earlier than expected so he is slammed at work.  Not even sure if he can take any time off :-(.  Oh well we keep plans as they are and take the time to have a quiet house, get some things done without feeling like we are neglecting the kids, and still find time to spend with each other after Scott finishes his hecticness at work. 

Here is what the kids did narrated by Nana.......

Hi Mommy & Daddy,
We had fun again today at Grancamp. We all took walks, got to pet the horses, worked on puzzles, sticker books & coloring books. We got to see Grandpa Jack & Doris & eat at Chick-fil-a, & play on the toys, of course. We liked this Chick-fil-a a lot because they gave us ice cream with chocolate syrup on it. Yum! Not sure why Abby thought her underarms needed cleaning while we were in there, though. We played outside in the pool again & Papa sprayed us with the hose. That was fun. After we ate dinner (of course) we went to the yogurt shop (Nana forgot the camera) - Yum, Yum! We did a lot of other stuff, too, but Nana says "what happens at Nana's stays at Nana's". We've been really good & wanted to stay another couple of days but Nana said it was time to go home tomorrow. (Not sure why Papa was smiling.) We miss you & will see you tomorrow.
We love you,
Colby, Dylan & Abby

As much as I hated to say good bye to the kids I was soooo ready to have them home.  Very thankful for the few days of peace and quiet along with some alone time with Scott.  When is GranCamp again?????
