I have to say that today was a super fun day even for a mom like me. It's 9:45 and even though I'm tired, I'm excited to blog about the fun we shared today. It all started this morning when I was halfway watching Good Morning America while getting ready for our a.m. adventure. Those savvy news anchors were making suggestions about staying closer to home or just staying at home and creating a vacation since gas prices are ridiculous. I loved it. Of course, these people weren't doing it "Texas style" they were creating outdoor movie theater's in their own backyards and who knows what else. All I could think of was the tent in my attic that's been collecting dust ever since I recieved it as a gift
9 years ago. The tent is still unopened in original packaging. I guess I've always had the fear that if I took it out I'd never get it back in. Anyway off we went on our last field trip. Matthew did graduate yesterday (I'll post pics later) but technically today was the last day of school. We met his class downtown for a ride on the trolley and a tour of the Grace Museum. The Trolley "conductor?" was adorable. He sang for the kids and had them barking to "How much is that doggy in the window?" He also stopped at the bus station and picked up coloring books for the kids. When we made it to the Grace we had the whole place to ourselves which was relaxing and fun. Then we headed home and met Boba here. He watched the kids for me while I went to our last day of school "Teacher Lunch". The Director bought lunch for all of us at Copper Creek. By the way, their lunch menu is reasonable and it was far from being crowded. However, the lunchers got an earful when the director raised her hands and all (27 of us) chimed in with our children's lunch/prayer/song. Open and shut them. I'm not sure the waiters knew what to think of 27 women clapping and praying very loudly. Obviously, everyone thought we were Crazy. But aren't pre-school teachers a little nuts anyway? When I finally made it home I changed into comfy's and climbed in that attic to bring down that dusty, insulation covered tent in a bag. Thank goodness Boba stood at the bottom so I had someone to hand it to. He was glad to catch it and even more glad I didn't ask him to put it together. When it started to cool off a little I assembled it myself and it was actually pretty easy. The kids were so excited and begged to sleep in it. However, when bedtime rolled around they only made it an hour before Abba asked to come inside. Thank goodness were weren't far away at some park. So maybe this stay at home and have some fun isn't such a bad idea. We are planning a week vacation in the middle of the summer to take the kids to Sea World and the Beach. But in the meantime I'll try to think of some more things to do close to home. I am so glad summer vacation starts today! What are you going to do this summer?
