We're Off!

Lisa came over tonight and we packed the car. We are taking very little actually. Most of the gear is a big 'ole water trampoline that we are taking there, so we had to pack lightly so it would fit. That is the best part of this trip though- you hardly need anything. We live in our bathing suits most of the time. We will be pulling out of here at 5am. I appreciate the comments of those committing already to pray for safe travel and no puking for us. Thank you!!!! Kim, we do have a dual DVD player so that should help some. Thank you so much for the offer of yours though. It is a good feeling to know I am going to bed, getting up, stashing the kids in the car, and heading off. Nothing else to do to prepare. Ryan took the kids to the Jim Kaat fields all afternoon to play baseball so I packed, cleaned and weeded. It was relaxing to be able to accomplish so much in peace. This morning, Sadie had a Dr.'s appt. because her eczema has gotten so bad. He changed her prescription and gave her an oral anti-itch medicine. I hope it clears up soon because her legs and arms are in pretty rough shape right now. The boys and I had dentist appts. this afternoon and then they left with Ryan. I am sure I'll post while on vacation, so I'll let you know how much fun we are having! :-)

Hope you and Lisa have a great vacation with the kids. Hope you don't throw sis out in another state. After the car ride everything should be a breeze. This week celebrate what a wonderful family and husband you have and friends like Lisa to travel sooo far. Praying for your safe return. Enjoy the water tramp. SOOOOO jealous! Haven't been on one in years but so fun!! tell Lisa and kids HI from us.
