The kids spent the evening playing in the park and I captured this picture of Violet swinging at the top of the little slide.

Tonight I thought I’d do something a little different for dinner, and did up some Shish Kabobs for me and the kids.

Today my mom took Jacob off to church, so Melissa and I thought it would be a good time to head out to Walmart. So off the three of us went, bracing the TTC without a stroller. By the time we reached Walmart we realised the real benefit of strollers on outings. Our little girl was tuckered out and needed to snooze. So we grabbed a pillow and a cart and let her sleep while we did our shopping.

Today’s picture of the day is Violet showing off her new Tangled PJs that Nana bought her during our vacations.

Today was our last day of vacation, and with it we stopped in some malls in Buffalo.  While there Violet took a ride with the Cat-In-The-Hat.

After a four days of fun camping, we packed up our camp and headed to a hotel for the last night. Both kids were very excited about spending their first night in a hotel. Whats been amazing is that each day we’ve been in the pool at least once, and today was no exception. The only question I have is will we make it in a pool tomorrow?

Today Melissa and I took the kids on a nature walk/geo cache adventure. While we walked we got a lot of great pictures. One of my favourites, is this of the three of them looking out from behind a tree. It was really fun watching as Violet and Jacob watch with wonder as we walked along the nature trail. Of course it was the promise of juice box and fruit snacks that kept them going.

Today we began our vacation, first with a nice breakfast out. Then Papa hooked the trailer and away we went. It took half the day to reach our campsite, but the kids were great during the long drive. As I sit here next to the fire writing up todays POD, I’m so glad to have these few days away with the family.

As you can see from today’s picture of the day, we’re all packed up and ready to head out on our vacation. Tomorrow morning we’ll climb into Nana and Papa’s van and head down to Pennsylvania for some camping, and a little bit of shopping. Both of the kids are very excited about our camping trip, and I must admit that I am quite excited to be getting away from the city, even if it is for only 5 days.

Recently when ever we’re outside Jacob wants to show us his ‘Amazing Trick’. Some times they are pretty ordinary, other times they surprise me. Today’s surprised me. He walked along the cement, without touching the wood chips in the garden, and then jump over the garden to the side-walk, twice. That is an amazing trick!
