So we are leaving for vacation to the coast of North Carolina in just 3 days. I have not started packing. Pack for 4 kids, 2 adults for 7 days and then try and remember enough underwear for everyone. Let alone figure out where it will all fit in the car!! It totally stresses me out!! I have been doing so much to prepare for this trip. Saving money has been #1. I had a garage sale to have gas money! I will let you know the total we spent on gas after I have it figured out sometime in August.
The girls are driving me crazy. All I have heard for 3 weeks is:
"When is 3 weeks?"
"Can we leave in 2 days instead of 2 weeks?"
"Where is the beach?", "In North Carolina", I said. "NO mom WHERE is the beach?" "I will show you the map tomorrow, go to bed!"
"I want to go in a airplane!?!"
"Can I take my Nintendo DS?" "Oh yes" I said to this response, "Anything to keep you quiet on the road!"
"Can we leave today?"
"Will Cameron teach me how to boogie board?"
"We get the play the Wii??? YIPPPEEEE!!!!"
"But why can't we leave today, mom?"
So today is Sunday and we are leaving in the middle of the night on Tuesday so we can be at the Kentucky Derby Museum when they open on Wednesday and then we are off to High Point, North Carolina to eat dinner with Ms. Mary. Then its 4 more hours to Beaufort. We should get to Lise's house at 9 or 10 pm. I am so excited! Last time we were here I got a big fat diamond ring!!!! But I don't think that I will get another one anytime soon! I can't wait to see my Granny Griffin, Uncle John will be there too. And we are all going to fit under 1 roof! The 6 of us, Lise and Cameron, GG and Uncle John! Its going to be a fun 6 days....then we get home and that same night Macy has her last softball game and then at 6am the next morning her and I are off to Chicago with Grandma Gail, Christee and Hannah for 2 days! American Girl, here we come!
I am going to get all of my summer traveling done at once! Whew!

Morgan Park Pool
Monday we went to the Pool!! It was our first time and I think that we will be back often! Mom and Dad brought Joey, Ben and Sarah and with my girls we had a pack of kids! Macy's friend Isabelle was with us too! The kids had fun. Pop took the boys into the big pool, Macy and Isabelle were not seen except the casual wave from the top of the waterslide and the little ones loved the rising water sprinklers and the kiddie pool, and so did I!! After the pool we ran around and then Sarah spent the night with us!!! It has been a busy busy busy week! And the Summer is just getting started!!!!
So I started this blog and then have not done anything with it. Well I am back. Here's what has been going on.....
Most recently we celebrated Macy's 9th Birthday on June 29th ! I can't believe that my baby is 9. We started out small and somehow turned into a full blown party. I created a Scavenger Hunt. I hid 10 clues throughout the house that ultimately led Macy and the Kids to her present from Geoff and I. A CD player for her room, which I am going to have to figure out how to adjust the volume so I never hear it upstairs!
The Kids were like a swarm of bees buzzing in a pack in the back yard, front yard and throughout the house! We did the presents once she found the chest full of gold, and then we did the cake and I forgot the ice cream. I now have a huge thing of vanilla ice cream n the freezer. Anyone is welcome to come over and have sundae's with us. Just give me a 30 minute holla so I can make sure that I have enough clean bowls! Then the Kids played on the trampoline until they were all picked up one by one........
Then we had Macy's favorite BBQ Pork Steaks and 'sweet' beans. They are really just Bush's Baked Beans, but she calls them 'Sweet Beans'. We also had macaroni salad and corn. She said it was the best Birthday Party ever, so I think that I did alright!
On Friday June 27th we attended our first River City Rascals Baseball game. They are a Frontier League, and whoa it was fun. They are sooooooo fan oriented and the stadium is so small that you are practically seated on the field! The Rascals lost but as you can see, we still had a blast!
