VACATION, PART IV.....

Dad & Zachary decided to go for a walk, while I packed up our stuff. Not only did I have to pack up the stuff, but you have to clean the cabin before you leave (otherwise, they charge you extra). After packing, eating breakfast and cleaning, we were still able to leave around 9:20 a.m.

The cabin had ants everywhere. It was truly gross. This morning, we took the cereal out of the refrigerator (put there the night before because ants were climbing on the box - I threw away the box, but put the inner bag in the fridge). After taking several bites of cereal, I notice an ant doing the backstroke in my bowl. I fished him out and kept eating. It was all the food we had. A little protein won't hurt anyone, right?

On their walk this morning, Zachary noticed this cool tree. He had to show me. We finished packing and on the way out we stopped at Zachary's special tree. The park had cut off several branches leaving nubs on the side of the trees. Zachary thought they were great ladders for climbing the tree.

Not to be outdone, Elyse gave it a try. Wish we discovered it sooner, it would have given them another activity to do.

The drive home was uneventful. We did take the time to stop at Fair Oaks Dairy Farm. If you want any amazing cheese, come on over.

It is great to have older children to help unpack. Zachary sorted all the dirty laundry, Elyse helped put things away and in 30 minutes, everything was done. The mail was delivered today, so I had all that to go through. Tomorrow, we will hit a grocery store, library, laundry galore, study for SS, and get ready for school on Monday. Oh boy!
