I had to put some groceries away that I forgot about. It is so relaxing here that time just doesn't matter...until you have spoiled milk! So Tuesday was another adventure day I didn't anticipate this vacation being so adventurous but I am loving every minute of it. Andy has been able to relax and enjoy the kids as well as keep his mind off of work and have a good time. It has been the perfect experience. Every night we are thoroughly exhausted, but the good kind of exhausted where you know you did a lot of fun things, got great exercise, and made wonderful lasting memories. Then you get to sleep in a camper with the windows open and catch all that fresh mountain air. It is great! Tuesday we ate a late lunch at the place so basically we came back and got the kids ready for bed and crashed.
Yesterday was Wednesday...right? Seriously, I am amazed at how time flies here and although I feel the need to know what time it is there really is no point when you are on vacation. So yes, Wednesday we decided to go to Storyland. The kids had been begging and it was a day to do kid things. Storyland is about 1 hour away from where we are camping at the Lisbon/Littleton KOA. The drive there is just amazing, amazing, amazing!!! Mountains, rail road tracks across mountains, the gorgeous Mt. Washington Hotel...just so so beautiful. I wish we could have stopped at all the lookouts, waterfalls, cascades, trails. I could spend a whole vacation just exploring those mountains. But the kids wanted to get to Storyland so we just went straight there.
Storyland was of coarse fun because it was nice to see the kids have a good time. Weston's favorites were the train ride, the tractor ride, and surprisingly the roller coaster! Ella's were the bamboo chute (flume), the water raft ride, and the roller coaster! Ofcoarse. I thought the bamboo chute was the only one worth the time waiting in line, but again they had fun and that is all that matters. It was pretty exhausting and there were many things we didn't get to see, but it was another great experience with the family. I can't believe that it had been five years since we went there. Last time I was pregnant with Weston. When I told him this he responded, "You better not have a baby in your belly this time because I'm not doing that!" LOL! Thankfully there are no plans for more babies in my future or I would have a problem with that one! The kids were over tired when we got back yesterday. Oh vey! That is the only downfall of the vacation...neither get enough sleep for the activity level we have them going at.
So today was a relax day. I think we all needed it. Well really I am finally relaxing right now, but for me it was catching up on laundry (Weston has peed the bed most nights including one night he peed both of the beds) and grocery shopping. Not bad though. We just went to the 99 and got lobster rolls and the kids had lunch. Then Andy went and bought fishing polls so the kids and he could go fishing in the river behind the campsite. They are there now. We'll be making dinner when they come back and putting to bed another awesome day on vacation. It is going to quickly, although I do sort of miss the dogs and the house. Plus everyone is posting on Facebook about school starting next week and that is making me a little anxious. I feel like I don't have things in place. Oh well, I can deal with all that when we get back. Atleast I finally know that Weston got into AM kindergarten (after I advocated for him) and who his teacher is.
