Going Places

This summer the kids have been fortunate to get to go on lots of vacations. Wade and I are enjoying spending the summer with one, two or no kids at a time. It's so interesting how the dynamics of the group changes when they are split up.

Hadlee and Hays spent the week with Aunt Ro and Uncle Don in Sun City. They picked up the kids in Brenham and dropped them off in Seguin.  They went swimming, hiking and participated in all of the 4th of July activities that were going on in their community. 

 Hadlee is showing off her 4th of July yogurt creation.

Harper came home from Brenham with me and spent a day as the only child. We didn't do much but she got all the attention from her Mom and Dad. Harper going walking one evening.





Harper went to Cuero and Victoria for the rest of the week. Hannah and Harper got to spend lots of time together.  They went swimming, popped firecrackers, went to the movies and got to spend the night together.





When Hannah asked me if she could take a "kid" with her to the river a couple weeks ago, I started envisioning a week without Hadlee. After pondering the situation, I knew that Hays would probably be crushed if he didn't get to spend some time with Hannah.
We came up with a great solution of switching the kids in the middle of the week. I woke Hadlee up early on Sunday morning and told her to get dressed that she was going camping with Hannah.

Here's a picture of Hannah on the rope swing. Aunt C took this picture from their campsite.





When we arrived on Wednesday, Harper and Hays were ready to get in the water.   Everybody was still floating the river so Harper and Hays got to jump off the rope swing.   They loved it!






We spent the night so Harper could enjoy some of the "camping" experience.   The kids were up early the next morning and continued where they left off the previous day.
