A bouquet of weeds

One last CA beach picture

Still the beach

Santa Cruz - the beach

One more post before the computer goes

I will be at my parents house for the next 19 days with the 3 kiddos.  What on earth are we going to do to not drive each other crazy?  Here is my short list...

Hunting Island and the shrimp shack

Beachcomber beach many many times

Maybe the reptile park at Edisto Beach

A ride on a boat at Cypress Gardens - where there are crocodiles

More shopping for Mommy

The aquarium

The kids museum again

The fire station museum - hope it isn't too lame

Show shopping for kiddos because they are a pain to buy in KL

2 kid movies

A few trips to the library

Hose fun in the yard

Kiddy pool in the yard

Feeding the ducks

And maybe I will take the oldest kayaking

Oh and then there are the doctor and dentist appointments for all

And that is all I have got so far - tomorrow we take the husband to the airport and then I plan to hit the beach

A photo a day

I will be without the laptop for the remainder of our epic R & R, so I thought I would just do a photo a day from what we have done so far.  

Enjoy!

R & R is taking too long

We are on week 2 and a bit of our R &R.  It seems to have gone on forever.  We are all a little under the weather - it must be the stress of not being at home. 

Tonight we pick up the rental car, pack it up and first thing tomorrow hit the road to visit my parents.  I am so looking forward to it!  I can finally rest and relax - as much as anyone can with 3 kids!

And there has been a few yarn purchases - I'll post about that when I am fully R & R'ed.

San Fran

So we have packed up and left KL for an extended government mandated vacation.  We are doing the insane FS trip this time - you know the one where we fly 3 different places to see everyone.  So far so good.  We have spent the past 2 1/2 days sleeping on and off and paid a mere $800 to do so.  Ugh

And now we have a freshman

As shocking as it seems we now have a high school freshman in our family.  Avery graduated from 8th grade at ISKL this week.  He had an excellent report card of mostly A's and a few B's.  Brilliant kid they say, he just needs to turn everything in all the time and his pe teacher said it would be in his best interest to work on his interpersonal skills - what?!  No surprise there!

Why yes, we are Kiwi's....

This is our #1 son at a charity event a few weeks ago...representing our home country of...New Zealand?!  They need some western looking kids to hold some flags.  At least he has actually been there!
