We are back from our vacation in the Dells. It was good to get away. The timeshare we were at wasn’t one of the best ever, but it wasn’t bad either. I really liked having a place to retreat to and where we could cook our own meals and not eat out so much. We were able to hit Noah’s Ark on Monday. Tuesday was doing the Ducks ride and the Upper Dells Boat Tour. We chilled for a bit in the afternoon. That evening Dan and Trish came up to visit. We went out to MooseJaw Pizza. It was good to see them and catch up. Wednesday we spent the day at Mom and Dad’s for Warren’s birthday. The kids were both ready to see us again. Warren was napping when we got there so he had a nice surprise when he got up. That evening we did cake and presents. Warren went face first into his piece of cake. He thought it was good stuff. :) Thursday was spent with Liz and Corey. They originally told us they’d be there between 9 and 10. At 10 we got a text message that they were just leaving Appleton. We were not impressed. We went out and played two rounds of minigolf on our own. I wasn’t going to sit around waiting for them any long. We had already waited an hour. Once they arrived, we went out for lunch. It was really hot and humid on Thursday. We watched The Blind Side during the afternoon. Around 5 or so we went out to play a round of minigolf (different location than the morning). We then walked Broadway (downtown area). It was nice to be able to visit without worrying about kids. Friday was our last full day. It rained most of the day. Finally in the afternoon the rain cleared for a little bit. I had been wanting to go on the roller coaster at Timber Falls. I knew I wouldn’t be able to go if it was lightning and thundering like it had been earlier. Once it cleared though, we went. It was still raining a little bit, but not enough to interfere with the ride. We killed a little bit of time then went to the Tommy Bartlett show. Really wasn’t all that impressed. Saturday morning we got up, made breakfast, packed up, and headed out to pick up the kids.
Saturday evening was a true challenge for me. I had no patience for the kids. The smallest things were setting me off. I felt like such a bad mommy. It was close to the same yesterday too. We skipped church again. This morning I am doing better patience wise. I am also taking the easy way out. I have lots of PBS kids on. I am having some major cramps going on this morning and don’t feel well. I’m hoping this all passes soon.
