We went blueberry picking with Aunt C this morning. The picking was fine. I somewhat bribed them with ice cream because they weren't very excited about it. Isaac shared his with me, so that was nice.
Ben had found a new computer for Aunt C too, so we got that started after picking. I went over in the afternoon to finish getting stuff setup. I think it went well! The internet connected well, the printer connected after I turned it on, and we got the bookmarks set up.
We're home. I was supposed to be all productive and stuff today but instead went to a playground with friends and took and nap and went rock climbing with Isaac.
It was a very nice day, even if the big chores were ignored.
We stayed in a hotel last night so the trip today wasn't too long. While the breakfast was delicious, the walls were thin and there was a team staying there that wasn't very quiet. Needless to say, I didn't sleep well. However, we did all bring our pillows because the pillows at hotels are always the wrong size and uncomfortable.
We got to the water park without any problems. We knew it from wouldn't be ready for us quite yet, but we could still use the park. We only went on about 2/3 of the rides, but they were fun! The lines weren't bad at all, so we often found ourselves doing one ride multiple times. I guess the worst part is that the background noise is really loud, so I couldn't hear anything that people were trying to say.
The guys did the FlowRider. I have some good videos, but only have pictures of Isaac's and Joshua.
We briefly went to Tom Foolerys too. They have some little attractions and an arcade. Isaac enjoyed the climbing wall... First it took him a minute, the next round 40 sec, and then 28 sec. Then he climbing it without using any of the holds, because, obviously.
Joshua moved around the Lego sets: the penguin is trying to help the baby giraffe get to its mom and not be eaten.
Ben showed this box to me and Joshua:
Thursday was a fun day! We went to a park with some friends in the morning and introduced some other friends to rock climbing in the afternoon. Joshua and his friend loved climbing the trees.
Friday was on the boring side. The only plans included groceries and packing. I should have made some plans too, because everyone was a bit bored by the end of the day. Hmm, I guess it didn't help that Ben worked a little bit late too. Everyone survived.
We didn't have huge plans today. Grocery store and a friend of Joshua's over in the afternoon. I decided not to go to the grocery store because I didn't have many groceries and needed to talk with the family about vacation groceries.
Joshua and his friend climbed the mulberry tree for the first time. They were climbing all the trees. After the friend left Joshua decided to read in the tree.
Isaac was working on his walls and decided to take down a black balloon. It's been up there since his black phase. Isaac, of course, doesn't remember his black phase and found it quite funny. A lot of things have been tickling his funny bone the last few days and it's nice.
I was supposed to start the packing list for vacation today, but instead I ...didn't. So I guess it's a recovery day after the fun stuff lately. I'll get to the list tomorrow. Not in time for groceries, but I can always go quickly pick up what we need.
Isaac is hanging out with Cheryl tonight but forgot Giraffe. I told him we'd take good care of Giraffe.
