Disneyland!!

With Chris off in Rhode Island at his Gordon conference all week, I decided to something special with V & J. We went to Disneyland! The kids were SO well-behaved, the weather was lovely, the lines weren't too awful... we had a wonderful day.

Acton KOA camping

In late May, we decided to shake down our camping gear and try out a KOA campground in preparation for our big road trip this summer. Overall, we had a fun time and liked our "kamping" experience. We learned a few things about what we did and did not need to bring and about how far we may have to park from our tent site. We were used to state parks where you are basically parking right next to your tent. Not so at the KOA. We had to lug our inflated queen size air mattress quite a long way. So now Chris has built us a little gear wagon. :) We like gear. Even if we need a wagon to haul it! Anyways, it was also a medically interesting trip. Poor John had a fever most of the time and just laid in the tent sleeping or dozing. Virginia was not sick and was DYING to go swimming so the first thing she and Chris do is get into bathing suits. While applying sun lotion however Chris totally threw out his back!! He was in a lot of pain and also spent the rest of the day basically laying and sleeping in the tent! Hopefully none of that will be happening in the middle of New Mexico in a few weeks! Wish us luck as we cross 4 (big) states on our 14 day road trip to Texas!!

Liz's Trip to KY

At the beginning of May, I made a weekend trip back to Kentucky when my grandparents from Florida were also in town. It was a whirlwind trip... I'm pretty sure I talked for 2 1/2 days straight... and I got to see almost everyone and do almost everything! Since my grandma and I were both in town, we (Emily, Erin and I) gave Ellen a wedding shower on Saturday. I got to meet our new niece Anna on Friday and visit with her mommy, daddy and big brother Ethan too. On Sunday we went to see Rick's house which will shortly be ELLEN and Rick's house. And I got to celebrate Mother's Day with my own mother, and both my grandmas! That hasn't happened in many years! Throw in trips to Skyline and Cracker Barrel and getting to watch a movie straight through on the airplane... it was an excellent weekend.
