I was going to ask will the mice all play but then I realized that there's several cats here so the mice are done for. Kim asked me to let people know that her, Rob and the girls left early this morning for a little impromptu few days away. She's going to try and check in at least daily. They aren't sure all of what they'll be doing but the Ren Faire is a definite for Saturday and Sunday. Slightly jealous so I might have to schedule a weekend in Sterling for myself. The Ren Faire is so much fun and I haven't been in years.

Not if they get impaled by a knight's lance they're not

That sounds like fun, minus the impaling part.

I hope they have fun but I don't want to go anywhere in this heat. I'm having an awful hard time staying hydrated in this heat. We've had 15 heat deaths in this county. I know people have heat related deaths everywhere but we're in the desert so people know how to deal with hot weather. This has been awful. Have fun Kim clan. I'm staying inside.

It is not so hot for us Addy so maybe you would want to go outside to do things if you were here.

5:00 in the middle of my night I was awakened to robodad clapping his hands and loudly saying Rise and Shine. You have to love...NOT....the person who decides to take a mini-vacation with no warning at all. Get up and pack your bags and be in the car in an hour was my morning. We were on the road before I was sure I was awake. We get here and I don't have my toothbrush or Plax so we went to a Walmart and got some and some slippers. You can't expect me to pack in the middle of the night and remember everything.

I grew up with a dad just like that and I promise you, you will end up with so many wonderful memories. It might seem crazy at the time but I guarantee you these are some of the best times of your life. Enjoy it!

I appreciate that they want to take their kids with them. My parents used to vacation without me and my siblings. They'd do a small family outing but when it came to really going away, it was them getting away from us.

My parents were similar to yours Jennifer but an added curse was most of the things I got to go to were Hall related.

My folks didn't have a lot of money so vacations were a rarity but when they took one, we all went. Something I've noticed that my sisters and brothers do differently is their vacations are very kid centered whereas my parents vacations were more adult centered. However there was one exception to this and it was the NYS fair. We went every year and that was a big deal.

My parents always took my siblings and I with them when they went on vacation and my dad was a big goof and loved the same things us kids did. He was fun to grow up with but my poor mother had to be the sole grownup. I think they avoided the adult vacations because dear old dad would still act like a kid. I remember one trip to a museum and my dad went walking around like a T-rex. We thought he was fun but I'm sure there were many times my mother wished she'd left him at home.
