We love our family get aways. This weekend we headed back to the timeshare in Pennsylvania where we stayed in December. This visit we were able to stay in the newer development.
The kids were very excited to go. Emily already had her clothes packed on Thursday after school. The only thing they had to get together Friday after school were their backpacks and videos for the DVD player.
Dave was able to go into work early so he could get out early which allowed us to make great time getting there. After dinner, the kids and Dave headed to the pool while I got to relax in the quiet of our unit.
Funny thing was when they came back from the pool Emily had what looked like two black eyes. I asked what happened....it turns out she had her swimming goggles on so tight that she broke the blood vessels under her eyes -the left eye being worse than the right. Emily has learned the value of concealer at the age of 9.
Yesterday we went out to a local pancake place, went to one store then the kids wanted to go back to the snake and animal farm we went to during our last visit. When we got back to the resort, Dave took the kids to the game room. Emily is quite good at Guitar Hero. For dinner, the kids chose to have sushi so that is what we had. The kids got in pool time again after dinner - Emily didn't wear goggles.
Check out was at 10 this morning and thankfully we remembered to change the clocks so we made it out on time. After breakfast, we headed to the outlets to get Matt his Crocs for the summer - it is the only shoe he wears then. We also went to Totes to see about rain gear for the kids.
Sadly, when we got home and got everything unpacked, the kids were forced back to reality with having to complete their homework for tomorrow.
We had a wonderful time and the kids are anxious to go back. Matt told Dave last night he was "stressed because he didn't want to leave Pennsylvania". You've got to love his sentimental attitude.
