One Blessed Family: Take a little trip, take a little trip.......

We decided we needed a little "get a way" before the baby got here. Nothing fancy, or expensive, just a way to spend some time just the two of us with nothing else to worry about. I have a relative who is very gracious to us and she offered to keep our kiddo's at her beautiful house that sits on a lake just a few hours away. She also has another home that no one lives in, and offered for Joel and I to stay there! What a great treat she gave us!

We started off our "trip" by meeting her to drop off the kids. She started spoiling them immediately! She took them to Barns and Noble and let them pick out all kinds of stuff! After we sent the kids on their way, we went and grabbed lunch, went to a store I had been wanting to go to, and then to a natural food store where I love to shop when we are in town. After that I really wanted ice cream. We found a TCBY which is Joel's favorite and we shared some yummy yogurt.

I gave up on getting these pictures all to look good. They all kept uploading funny. After that we headed back to the house to do what any pregnant girl without her kids would do, NAP! We slept longer then intended! By the time we woke up we were ready for dinner. After searching and debating on a place we ended up eating at a really good organic restaurant. Its funny that the only thing I took pictures of was dessert! Creme Brule, my favorite!

We rented a few movies and went back to the house. We made a pallet in the floor so we could be close to each other. The house did not have a couch, only two recliners.

Here is a picture of my big bump!

We picked up the kids the next day after breakfast, and a few fun stops. The kids were swimming (she has an indoor lap pool). They had all kinds of things to tell us. They had baked, swam, learned some french phrases, played games, watched movies, ate lots of junk food, and the list keeps going. They had a blast! Before we got too far from her house, they were both asleep!
