Eight years later … and summer vacations have changed. No more sleeping in and relaxing on hot summer days – you can be sure that our three little tikes keep us more than a little busy. On our anniversary date last month, we did enjoy putting the kids to bed early and enjoying a nice dinner for two with “5 minutes peace and quiet.” Yay …
Of course the peace and quiet disappeared when we piled the kids and luggage in a van and headed for my little sister’s wedding. July 23 was truly a spectacular day (an answer to prayer), and the location the perfect Nova Scotia setting. The flowers for Grandma were in abundance and, typical with all Allan weddings, the tears were equally abundant. 🙂 (Apparently Kylie shed nary a tear under those clear blue skies …) From Stellarton, water slides and Melmurby fun, we spent another week up in Pennant. It wasn’t quite a full vacation for me as I worked during the days, but the kids loved the beach, the rock and the visit to the Zoo to visit their relatives. Ten days on the road brought us back to our Hudson home where it felt good to sleep through the night once more …
No more vacations until 2012 – they’re too exhausting! 🙂
