Last Summer Vacation....or First

Well, we went on our last vacation of the summer, and I say last because it is the last one we will have this summer, but also the first one we have had, sad huh. We did go to our family reunion, which counts, but this one was just our little family. Dave and me and the 5 kids. It was a lot of fun. We just got a hotel for 2 days and let the kids swim ALOT, and we went to the zoo and to alot of restraunts. I was going to call my brothers to see if they could go with me, but if you can understand what it takes to do 4 girls hair and get them ready, I didn't dare call and say we're going to go to the zoo at 10:30 and then not end up going until noon, which is exactly what happened. Maybe next year I can have them go with us.
All in all I have to say that my kids did fairly well, well to me, may be chaos to someone else, but it went o.k. One lady went to the same place as us to eat, and then we ended up seeing her at target a little bit after we ate, and she just had to ask how old our kids were and if they were all ours, she said they were very well behaved (yes, my mouth dropped) and I said they have their moments! She said so do her kids but we have to remember that they are in training. And that is sooooooooooo true, but I'm not thoroughly convinced that I am a good trainer. I need a little work.
Anyway it was fun and good for our family to spend "Fun" time together, but I do have to say, Dave and I are ready for a vacation after our vacation! If that makes sense!
Nothing is better than family! So all of my family out there, I want you to know how much I love you all and how fun it is for me to be around you!!!
Oh, and check out, our getto hotel room. The ceiling was going to fall in on us. It was cheap, isn't it great! Oh, and if you are wondering why my sons face is sooo swollen on the right side. It's a bee sting. He's allergic, so much so ,that this is two days after the fact!
