Fall Break

Today is the 1st day of our Fall Break. The kids haven't changed out of their jammies, they've been playing since 7 AM, and I don't even know what's on the agenda for today! Isn't that great? Okay, that's not completely true....I vaguely remember that our Library books are due today, so maybe we'll head over to the Library? However, I don't know if I'll be able to convince the kids to leave the house. We'll see.

Now, let me rewind to 2 weeks ago. Zach had been begging us for a few weeks to go camping so we decided that General Conference weekend would be a good time to go. Mike + Heidi came along and we ended up having such a nice time. We DVR'd General Conference and we were able to listen to some of talks on the radio...it was nice! We brought Griff + Gracie, and Mike + Heidi brought their 2 dogs, Gus + Woody....5 kids, 4 adults, and 4 dogs. It sounds chaotic but it really wasn't. The kids got along great...they just played, played + played some more. Friday, as soon as Brian got home from work, we headed out to go and pick up the travel trailer we rented and then we headed south to Palisades. We stayed there Friday night, Saturday night, and on Sunday we decided to extend the fun another day. Brian took Monday off, so we headed over to Yuba and stayed there Sunday night. Monday we packed up, cleaned the trailer + headed out. We stopped at the Red Barn in Santaquin for some YUMMY ice cream, returned the trailer, and headed home to un-pack. We sure were tired when we got home, but we had a blast! (I'll post pictures later)

Zach finally got his cast off a couple weeks ago...everything is healing nicely, but the poor boy has been sick ever since. The 1st day back to school after our camping trip he came home sick, and he's had this nasty cough ever since. He was out of school Tuesday - Friday, so Friday I took him to the doctor. No Strep (thank goodness) he just has a nasty virus, nothing to be too worried about. But, the Doctor did hear wheezing on his right side when he listened to his lungs so we'll be keeping close tabs on that! He was back to school this week so hopefully he's on the mend!

That's it! I think I'm caught up! I hope all of you are doing well. Happy thoughts, Kim
