Staycation Night Away

Jimmy took on full kid duty for most of our vacation.  I decided to give him some much needed time alone.  My mom had been out of town on business and my nephew was staying at him mom's, so my parents house was pretty empty.  I packed up the kids Saturday afternoon and headed out there to spend the night.  We got to do all of favorite country activities and some new ones.  Freezies and twister rides are a must!
We brought Parker's 4-wheeler and he was really able to expand his comfort zone.  We figured out that he loves following the Twister, so we took him through the trees and in to some of the taller grass.
The hot tub is a must when visiting the country too.  This will probably be the last time we get to use it for a while because my dad is going to be replacing his deck boards as well.
We took one last Twister ride and visited the cows before taking our annual tree pictures.
We took them a week earlier than normal since we won't be able to see them for a couple weeks after my mom get back home.

Esme crashed back at home just before dinner.  She needed the rest for our return to reality today.  Jimmy and I were back at work and Esme returned to daycare for the first time in 2.5 months.  Her and Parker are in desperate need of some time apart and it will be much easier for me to work with just Parker at home.

We have another week off scheduled for the end of August.  I may decide to save some vacation and work, but we will see how the rest of the summer pans out.
