Vacation Over...

The vacation we took has come and gone. It was short. Like 4 days short. I feel like they flew right by after I blinked 4 times. We all had a great time. Especially the kids.

Here is our "base camp" on the beach. I know that every time we go we have a base camp where Angel sets up the canopy and has everything laid out for us. He's lounging there already.

Dom is just being silly. He's getting sooo big.

I tweeted that Angel is planning on bringing home our dinner (fish) so he was at it every chance he could get.

Devyn seemed to be the one who made the most progress with catching fish.

Unfortunately, there just wasn't enough fish to fill us up or even to go around.

Here is a pic of our "cottage" from the outside. Notice Angel's poles leaning against it? He never goes anywhere without them. If only they produced more fish than what they cost, maybe we'd break even.

Now, just because we're on vacation, it doesn't mean that the kids aren't going to continue to clean like they do at home.

Miah was a little upset because Devyn just isn't an expert on folding blankets. He ended up with the rounded edges part and she had the cornered edges.

She quickly saw that he didn't know what he was doing and made him switch sides with her. She's always been a pro when it came to folding blankets, towels and making up her bed. Even when she was very little.

I don't know why the boys never grasped the concept of a nice made-up bed. Miah and I totally get it!

Now, If you know me at all.....you know we won't make it far without Snow cone/Raspa stands along the way. Naturally, we had to pay $3 dollars each for a medium here in "vacation land" but back home...$3 buys you a JUMBO.

We're getting ours back home from now on.

If you are in need of an emergency (and I mean the #1 or #2 kind) you can always come into the beach outhouses.

Angel was fishing on the pier with the kids on the last day we were there. As I was driving home ahead of him I get a text from him telling me he lost his wallet. (GO FIGURE!)

Guess where it was?

Yup...at the Pier.

If only I could stay on vacation FOREVER*!

I don't know when our next vacation will be but I'm already looking forward to it. For now, it's back to the grind of everyday life (and getting the kids settled in school..ugh).

* Of course, that would mean I would need to have a little hut built NEAR the beach because I can't afford to pay each night where we stayed and continue to feed the children.
