Brooks and I took a surprise trip to a resort to visit Oma and Opa this last few days. We left on Wednesday and just got back to town a little while ago. It was a weird feeling to be vacationing in the middle of the week, but it was also so wonderful. Of course, Maggie and Kennedy came with us too! Oma and Opa took all 3 kids overnight at their place so that Auntie S'ers and I could have some adult time. It was great. We woke up on Thursday morning, went on a run, had breakfast in silence and explored a really cool gift shop. It really felt like a mini-vacation! Thanks Oma and Opa!
Brooks did well on the trip. He slept in the car on the way down and took really good naps. He spent some quality time at a huge water park on Thursday and was worn out from it. Lately we have been working on not hitting. Brooks hits us when he is upset, tired or crabby. We hope this stage ends soon, but in the meantime we are doing the best we can to not let him get away with it. It is frustrating to say the least, but he did the best he could. He is such a buddy, but also so emotional. (He may get this from his Mommy!)
Brooks needed his goggles in order to go to the pool!

A bath with his cousins this morning. The kids were so well behaved. We are blessed to have wonderful kids and family. Thanks, Oma and Opa for spoiling us!
Up next? Just a weekend of working in the yard and in the church nursery. We don't have any real plans, so it should be pretty relaxing. We are praying for snow so we can get out and ski! We would love to have a blizzard before Thanksgiving...doubtful, but fun to think about.
