I’m wanting to do a write up about our trip to Memphis, but am waiting until I get the pictures off of the camera first. I’ll start with earlier in the week.
It was time for the annual kid vacation to Oklahoma. A week long event that was jam packed with fun for the kids and a slight touch of boredom for the parents. They did fun things like tour an ice cream factory, watched 3 big screen movies, went bowling, went shopping for new school clothes, and spent the rest of the time swimming in Grandpa’s pool.
Usually, we try to plan a big project while the kids are away. It helps the time go by and is much easier to do without the extra little helping hands. This year, not so much. We were basically counting down the hours until Tuesday night, when we figured our official break would get kicked off with a night at the movies. For the record, You, Me, and Dupree isn’t worth seeing in theaters.
From Saturday night through Tuesday night I think we talked to each of the kids for about 5 minutes, total. They didn’t have time to be bothered with talking to their boring old parents. We know that when they are home and grandparents or aunts and uncles call, they waver between not wanting to talk to chatting away for up to 30 minutes at a time. I should have known it would be no different for us. What am I, chopped liver?
