Is it legal to have this much fun?
We have just had the time of our lives this week! Yes, we're cramped. We're a little tired of living in such close quarters, but we've enjoyed being together so much that it really helps. Today we went to Kings Island amusement park and had another good day. Tommy and Stephanie went on their own and rode all the crazy coasters while Rod and I spent the day with the two younger ones at the Nickelodeon play area. It was the perfect pace for today!
We almost fell asleep on the train around the park - that was so totally relaxing. I realized quickly that I am getting old - - much older than I realized! haha We did ride the log ride though with the girls and even bought the photo they took of us as we decended the last big hill. It was so fun - and I was proud of Kennedy because she overcame her fear of hilly rides! Her face looks completely terrified, but she did it! :) I wish I could post that photo but it's not a jpg file. :( Trust me, it was worth the 14.00 we paid for it.
We had dinner at Outback Steakhouse and realized we were absolutely ravenous. I didn't realize how desperate I was for a salad! We've eaten so much junk this week - I think it will take me awhile to get back in the swing of things when we get back home! I am so excited though - there's a lot to look forward to when I get back. I picked up a new fitness class at the YMCA and I have a couple of fun speaking engagements to get ready for. I'm also excited about some changes coming up at the station - you'll hear about those changes this week on the Morning Show. :)
I'm so glad my life will keep me busy when I return because I cannot begin to tell you how sad I am that this week is almost over! There is nothing better than spending quality time with my family. Rod and I are seriously considering getting a pull-behind trailer and a conversion van sometime in the future so we can do more of this. Seriously, if you haven't tried this with your family, you are really missing out. It's truly a blessing!
Something funny that happened and I'll go for tonight - I was at the pool with the kids playing "Mr. Shark" (one person is the "Shark" and stands on one side of the pool while the others are on the other side - they ask "Mr. Shark, Mr. Shark, what time is it?" and the shark says a time between 1 and 12 o'clock and the other players walk that many steps to the shark until finally they ask what time it is and the shark says "LUNCH TIME!" and then the "shark" turns around quickly and grabs the closest one and then that person is the shark. WELL, Peyton (my 5 year old) was the shark and she is just now learning about telling time - well, we asked "Mr. Shark, Mr. Shark - what time is it?" and in her cute little Peyton voice she said "It's 20 o'clock!". We cracked up so hard! Oh, okay, maybe you had to be there....haha
We'll try to touch base tomorrow. We're pulling out at 6am to go near Knoxville to a campsite for one more night. If they have wireless, I will try to update once more.
Until then...I'm going to fall into bed!!
