the way home and some others talked non-stop until she finally passed
out.
Chase & Reed missed their cousins so much that they couldn't wait to
see them again, so we dropped them off at their house. They were
quite excited about that! I heard that they stayed up until 2:00am,
pacific time! I don't know how we're ever going to get readjusted to
eastern time before school starts.
We had another full day planned for Friday. Blake, Taylor and I were
still tired from the Legoland trip so we decided to be lounge lizzards
and stay home. Actually, if we had done 2 amusement parks for 2 days
in a row, Blake & Taylor would have been emotional wrecks! They
needed a rest. Diane, Chad, Lauren, Kelsey (Justin's girlfriend),
Chase, Reed and Paul went to Knott's Berry Farm. It sounded like they
had a great time there! They got to ride a few roller coasters and
other "big kid" rides. They also had the famous fried chicken lunch
but didn't bring home any leftovers! Huh, what's up with that?
After Knott's Berry Farm, Kelsey invited us all over to her house for
a little night swim. Paul came home to pick us up to take us to her
house. We had a nice time. I thought the pool was a little chilly so I
"relaxed" in the hot tub (you never really relax when you have 4
kids). The kids loved it! I don't know how Chase & Reed could stand to
keep going between the hot tub and the pool. I don't even like to
open the shower door until I've dried off because I get too cold!
Once Blake & Taylor discovered the hot tub, they stayed in it. They
weren't as adventurous as Chase & Reed. I was glad Kelsey invited us
over. She was a great hostess!
Saturday we hung out at home (Paul's parents home). They hosted a
cookout for us so some friends and other family could visit us without
us having to try to go to everyone else's houses. It was nice to
visit with everyone! We always enjoy catching up with extended family
and friends. After dinner we played a game of Catch Phrase. It was
boys against girls. Let me just say, we women kicked butt!
Sunday Paul, Chase, Reed, Chad, Justin & Kelsey went to an Angels
baseball game. They played the Seattle Mariners. The Angels lost.
Paul didn't take my camera so I wont have any pictures of that to
scrapbook. The little ones and I stayed home again. They played, ate
and watched Spongebob. I cleaned the motorhome.
Monday I had to get out of the house alone before I lost my mind! My
Mother-in-law dropped me off at the Mall on the her way to
volunteering at the hospital. It was so nice to be alone. I wandered
around the craft store for a couple of hours and I didn't even buy any
scrapbooking supplies! I know, I couldn't believe it either!!!
After my little retail therapy session, I walked over to the grocery
store to get supplies for the motorhome. I needed one shopping cart
for stuff that I bought at the craft store and another to get
groceries. Actually, I didn't have that much stuff from the craft
store it was just big. I bought a storage box and fleece for blankets
in the motorhome.
Paul and Blake picked me up at the grocery store. I bought stuff to
make dinner to surprise my mother-in-law since she worked at te
hospital all day. I made Asian Pork Ribs, Rice Pilaf and Blue Cheese
Cole Slaw. It was good but the ribs were a little tough. Mom was quite
surprised by dinner and really appreciative of it:o)
While I was cooking dinner, Paul took Chase & Reed to ride their bikes
on the bike path at the beach. Again, I don't have pictures of that
either. They had fun and even took a little dip in the ocean.
After dinner, Diane and kids came over to pack some of their stuff in
the motorhome. Justin's girlfriend, Kelsey, made little goodies bags
of candy for all the kids. That was so sweet, literally &
figuritively! They were very excited about that! Mom also loaded us
up with some snacks & goodies:o) We won't go hungry, that's for sure!
We finished up packing up all our stuff too and headed to bed early.
We wanted to be ready for our adventure to head back home with 10
people in a motorhome that sleeps 6!
