So my mini-vaca didn't really go the way I planned.
Mark and the girls left at 6am on Saturday morning to head down to the archery shoot near Des Moines. At around 8:45ish, I received a phone call from Mark. They were in Cherokee... Mark's car was having some issues. His car is a 93 Honda Civic that has over 200,000 miles on it and has seen its better days. He went to a repair shop and some other places to see if they could figure out what was going on, but no one seemed to know for sure and since they weren't Honda dealers they didn't have the right equipment to check things out. So Mark thought it would be best if they just came home.
Saturday was also Mark's dad's birthday and his parents wanted to go to sioux falls, so I offered to babysit the kids. Well, since Mark and the girls were home now they came with for awhile. At 7:30 they headed back home to set up the tent in the backyard so they could at least spend the night in the tent, which the girls were really looking forward to. When I got home at 10:15 they were all sound asleep in the tent!
Sunday was a normal Sunday with dinner at the farm and then home. The girls and Mark took a nap in the tent! Then we went to church.
Today the kiddos and I went to sioux falls to finish up school shopping and hang out with some friends. We went to Laurel Oak pool to swim for a few hours with the Matherly's. Mitchell and Max are the same age as the girls.. within a month or so of each other. We had been at the pool for about 3hrs or so and when we were at our car and they were walking to theirs, Mitchell, who is Ellie's age, came running back to us with a dandelion for Ellie. Her first flower from her "future husband!"
Now its bath time and then bedtime. Its time to get back into the routine of school since that starts next week already!
