J Cooper Photography

Please pardon the interuption in vacation photo sharing.  Monday morning while I was busy laundering and unpacking and cleaning and kid coralling…my hubby ditched me for Taiwan.  And after a couple days of single parenthood I looked around my house and decided I needed reinforcements.  So I loaded back up the car and headed to NE to spend a few days with my family (cause…you know…10 days of vacation the week before wasn’t enough quality time together).

It was nice.  We kept the kids busy (which kept me busy) and I had my parents around to dote on my (thanks Parentals)

We:

Swam at the pool and nearly drowned Baboo (twice)

Went to the Children’s Museum for the hundredth time (they can’t ever get enough)

Drove through Pioneer’s Park to watch the elk and bison and scare the ducks

Played at Antelope Park and perfected our monkey bar swing

Ate at Noodles and listened to Sam scream for “more pasta…more pasta…more pasta”

Shopped T.J. Maxx, Target, and Gordmans without the kids (I owe you big time Dad)

Visited with my Gaga and relished in a few of her hugs and kisses

and….

Made it home in time to blog a couple of quick snapshots before my hubby walks through the door.   I’d call that a success!

Back to the regularly scheduled programming soon
