Vacation

We are home from vacation!! The excitement of our vacation began Tuesday night when Brad was going to pop up the camper so that we could start packing! Well, the camper wouldn't so much as pop up! The cable that pops it up is broken. So Brad brought it to a camper fixer guy. Luckily Brad's mom wasn't going to be using her camper so we borrowed it for the weekend. Thursday night Brad got home from work we ate pizza loaded up the van and pickup and headed to Luverne, MN. We got our camp all set up and just relaxed when we got there! It was so hot all weekend! Poor Ben was miserable he just cried all the time except for when we were swimming! We still made the best of it and had a good time as a family! We went to the Luverne Drive-In movie theater Friday night! That was fun! Both kids fell asleep in the van so we stayed and watched both movies! It was an extremely late night but a lot of fun! We went to the zoo on Saturday and Abby loved it! We picked a good time to go because all of the animals were awake and moving around!

Monday morning came and it was time to pack up! This didn't go well at all! Both kids were crying, Brad's pick up tire was shredded so he had to change that, it was hot, then he couldn't get the camper to hook up to the pickup. Than we got home and there was a message on the answering machine from the camper fixer guy saying that as he was beginning to work on our camper he found some issues that were going to be quite expensive to fix. So Brad called him and got the scoop. We spent a good part of Monday afternoon trying to decide what to do. We finally came to a conclusion. Brad is going to fix the part of the camper that he can and then have the fixer man fix the least expensive stuff just to get through to the fall so that we can still use it and then we are going to sale it and buy a new one! If it wasn't for our bathroom remodel we probably would just look for a new one now but we are tied up for the time being! So that was our exciting weekend!
Benjamin is 8 months old! I can't believe how fast these past 8 months have gone by and how much my baby boy has grown! He does the army crawl and if you are laying on the floor he loves to attack you! Especially his big sister!
I hope you all had a great weekend and your week is starting out good! I am in recover mode from vacation trying to get our house in order because it is a disaster!
I also have other exciting news but am not going to share it at this time! I am going to wait for the go ahead! But I am so excited to share it!!! Good-bye for now!
