What I learned on my summer vacation

We went to Corpus Christi this past week (Sun-Tues). This past week was one of the only (until mid August) that we had no camp lined up. So we took an impromptu trip. Here is what I learned.

-Vacation with kids is just really a relocation.
-Lucy doesn't like sand or too much sun in her eyes. Preferred the indoor pool. Scratch beach vacation off the list.
-Corpus beachgoers like to smoke. And leave their butts on the beach, along with beer cans and the occasional condom.
-Lucy really likes shreeemp.
-Harper is pretty scared of alligators. But adjusted to the little ones.
-My childrens' behavior is akin to river otters.
- Viewing the dolphin show from underneath is cool.

We Miss You Ladies

Note - Murdoch, Angus, Dolores & Smoke contributed to this post.

Ladies, we miss you. Miss your stories, miss your giggles, miss your exuberant laughs, miss your requests to be held, miss your cooking, miss your entertainment, miss your creativity, miss your snuggles, and miss your help in the kitchen and around the house. Don't miss the screams and fights and tantrums and ideas on how we can better ourselves so much - but at least that means you are around, so maybe a little. The house is awfully lonely with just the 4 of us padding around in there (and one outside of course), scraping by with what we can each find individually to eat. We look forward to your return. In the meantime, anything you know of that needs fixin'?
